slumlord;90330 The engines are different at the box stores as well. The engine numbers from a Briggs or Tecumseh are different from the box stores than the small dealer who sells that brand to the customer .I strongly suspect that there is a similarity to my kitchen faucet said:No there usually is no difference with the engines. Different cover maybe but not the engine.
Briggs for example make approx 15 million engines a year give or take and the difference between them is usually a sticker or cover between different manufacturers.
A dealer can usually sell exactly the same product that a box store sells but usually more expensive as the box store is buying in bulk.
When it comes to buying a mower, Whats more important?
The deck or the engine?

If he had cheap labor to keep his cheep junky machinery operating why not . And I can just hear his next statement . - with tears nearly running down his cheeks, I can only afford to pay .25 cents an hour - . If his employees were union organized the probability of the original statement being modified to a great degree is probable .I once worked for a man that was one of the top 100 wealthiest people in the US. One day we listening to him talk concerning some financial things in the factory where we worked for him. His parents came to the US right after WWII as immigrants and built much wealth in industry. He made a statement that I will never forget. He said that his father who had built much of the businesses had always said, "I would rather buy 100 one dollar watches than one one hundred dollar watch." In other words many times he would buy what many people said were cheap off brand machines that would get by but not last as long many times as the expensive ones.
That carries over to our businesses like cutting grass. We are taught to always by the best name brands because they are quality...... The idea from his perspective would be buy as cheap as possible to get the job done but it might not have the longevity...... Has anybody else ever heard of this type discussion?
That thought worked for them, they became very successful.

I say the deck welded is better but stamped is just as easy to fix.
