We have had many craftsmans and many deers we've had to replace the steering 3 times on 1 of them one time I got the front tire in a hole and backed up and it ripped the tire off but we are very hard on mowers craftsmans aren't made to handle what we do with them we have hills and ditches to cut we cut acres every weekend in the Sumer craftsmans would probably be good light duty mowers john deers are heavy duty mowers I see your in Georgia we live in Alabama 36078 is our zip code do you want it the deck is not attached I have the deck though

I have been beating the crap out of my Craftsman ys4500 for 8 years, and it keeps coming back for more. What kind of Honda are you getting?

It doesn't seem to be in bad shape it's got a radiator and it's an inline 2 do you know what hp it is I looked it up and first it said 14 hp and another website said 18 hp

It should be an 18hp.
The one thing about Honda tractors is the parts. They aren't cheap,and the clutches are not the best. They usually have 2 clutches,and to replace them is nearly $600 ea.,if Honda still sells the parts.
I had a 4318 given to me,and I junked it,rather than pay that much.

The 45 is the cutting width,and the 18 , is the HP,hence 4518.
