    Massive, massive, paint analysis, no expense spared.

    Why are you questioning this, it's only a lawn mower. I would say take it to a body shop and have a professional paint it, sand it, at the least three times, then buff it. Will look better than new. I have found out with years of use on my old Wheel horse that the Rust-Oleum will last...

    24hp Kohler Hard to Start When Cold

    I see that the choke and oil has been covered. When you say it starts hard what is it doing? Turns over very slow? You might want to check to see if the fuel pump is holding pressure seeing it starts with starting fluid. There are many things that can cause hard starting?

    buying a new mower

    Buy a cheap mower and you will have to replace it more often. Buy a good brand mower and pay a little more for it with good maintenance it will last for years. My Ferris is going on 20+ years old and still runs and mowes as good as the day I bought it.

    Troy Bilt Pony 7HP Tiller won't start after carburetor rebuild and coil replacement

    Get yourself a spark tester or make your own from a good spark plug, just gap it 1/4 in. If you don't get a good spark the coil or flywheel magnets are bad. That carburetor should have a fuel pump built into it so also check that
