Mike, have you got the model with the Honda motor? I was going to get that one but decided it was a bit of an overkill for the small patch of lawn I have

(19" cut is really the only difference, that and it's PURPLE ) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I don't think Quantum models are still available? Do you know what my blade size is? All I know is it has a 190cc motor... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Lol nice photo. Yeah you have a Quantum, but they've changed the badging cause some idiots complained that their HP ratings might be inaccurate, so now instead of being a Quantum 55 they're a 650, or something like that (it's somehow OK for them to get the numbers from torque but not power). Still the same motors underneath the new cowling of course, damn Briggs & Stratton are lazy I think they still have Quantum written on them though.. Lol I should probably know. Haha, stupid posts Oh, and your's is an 18" cut, 1 whole inch! Lol. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It wasn't really sold to me, I looked on masport.co.nz, picked the one I wanted then went and bought it. Didn't really talk to the guy about the specs or anything

And do they do a free 5 hour check (pretty much an oil change a quick lube of the bits that need it)?
