It was one of the John Deere ones MF, first of a long downhill spiral. It was the first of the ryobi shared engines. Previously, homelite used a motor shared with black and decker - the original 'whipper snipper'. good engine in all regards in my book
If it was a sx135 Bandit (the previous model) I would have paid the $129. I have both already - a basically NOS Sx135 Bandit from the mid 90s (still has the original $219 docket on it) and a 2002 model that is in good nick.
The 90s one is superior. As soon as ryobi got involved with model sharing, the motors went down hill in my opinion.
No warranty offered as too old and considered new old stock sold on clearance. Not sure what accc would think of that, nor the selling of the aforementioned illegal 2 stroke gen sets (don't meet emission standards)
