I too love a good utility. I finished this one on the weekend. It goes like a charm and will be good for another few years yet! I gave it a good workout and its got plenty of grunt - I like the full cranks better! The bearings last much longer than power torques!
I tend to stick with the electronic ignition models, they seem to be a little more reliable in the long run.
Love a well setup series 70/80 engine, Yesterday I scored an almost new old stock gear start tilt a cut, every bolt is still silver, has barely any dirt on it, original blade that has 90% of its paint on it, just many many years of dust. Ran like a champion when I tried it last night.
