Hey all,

I recently picked up a super 600 24" slasher for a song. Its in fairly good nic with no rust, and only a couple of cracks in the cast iron which I can get welded up.

I am going to refresh the engine, and get it sand blasted and put a new coat of paint on it. That way it should last another 20+ years! Just wondering if that seems worthwhile? I am after a good strong mower.

I did have one question for the pros. Some people I spoke with said this was a great mower to try to get, but they are rare. They said they were great cause they could handle thick grass, etc with no issues. I am confused however as they are belt driven. I would have thought direct drive type mowers would be much more powerful than something like this. Anyone offer some advice?

Cheers!
