Rest in Peace
There's always been lots of discussion about better quality machines than you get from Sears, but I'll bet if it's kept indoors, out of the weather, and reasonably maintained, you'll more than get your money's worth from it. Another thing I like about most Sears products is that they usually come with a manual that includes a parts list and exploded view that's sure handy for me if I have to repair something.
