Here's the STORY !
After communicating with owner of the 8 HP RER mower that was for sale, I agreed to buy it, so yesterday, ( 3/21//2018 ) my BIL came and picked me up at my place, I DON"T have a truck or trailer, so BIL is my transport guy, YES ... I pay him for his gas AND time !! anyway after, about a 2+ hour ride to Tampa from Ocala, we met with Dave, owner of this lil jewel, one hell of a nice guy, after he explained a few details about the machine, and a few minutes of "guy-talk" we had it loaded and another 2 hour ride back to Ocala, after unloading the lil thing I drove it around the yard for a few min. and then parked it, we had constant winds of 15-20 knots so I didn't want to do much with it, NOW when I parked it NEXT to my ol Murrays, I heard a strange noise from my old Murrays, .. I looked and both my old machines were shaking in the rear end department, then a LOUD FRRRrrrrapppppp and a WHOOSH noise !! I walked behind them, and noticed they both, had "DUMPED" ALL their "rear-end" oil on the ground, telling me, they're quite JEALOUS of this new lil fella I brought to join them, so after explaining there's nothing to fear, .. I"m just lik GOD, .... I LOVE ALL of ya's ! I replaced their oil and told them to get to know and welcome the new addition to the family, and the wifey had already made plans of an affair with the "new-guy" ... then, with tear-filled headlights, they nuzzled up to the newbie, I decided to let Mother Mechanic take it's course, so it's been a quiet night, I'll have to go see what's happening when the sun come's up .. :laughing:..:laughing:

It is illegal to store that mower outside. The lawn states that it must be stored in a garage or indoors.

Florida must be the center of the universe for rear engines. Pretty sure I saw one being pulled over on Live PD in Pasco Co. for a DUI violation. That is a sweet machine Boo!
