I had bought a JD JS60 lawn mower. It ran about three hours and broke a piston rod. I took it back to the dealer and he has offered to replace the mower or let me use the purchase price to upgrade to a better mower. I haven't had any problems with my tractor but this indicates to me he knows how to treat customers after he gets the sale. My choices is to replace the the mower I have which has a Briggs engine or upgrade to a JX75 with a Kawasaki engine with oil pressure. I thought Briggs engines are OK. My last Briggs mower lasted 23 years. Are they still good motors or should I consider upgrading at a considerable cost? First mower cost right at $300, the upgrade costs $725 so I will have to pay some difference.
