If that was my mower I'd have it in my living room - too darn pretty to put in garage; seriously, thanks for the post, I'm, more motivated to do a thorough job restoring my HRB215HRX that I bought in 1999. Your HR215 is absolutely killer looking!
I was in West Palm last week just before Christmas and will be in Cape Coral soon, I did not see where you are located. Thank you.
