Sorry for the troubles. I had Honda for 10 plus years . Great lawnmower .. I just did not have the extra cash for another honda at this time . That would been my first choice.. I really like this mower .. Works great . Starts on the second pull .. Next year I will get a zero turn 42 inch cut . Saving up .. Toro be used as a trim or outline the lawn . anyway I mocked up my exhaust too see what it look like .. Not bad .. If you look one way it looks more gold , different way more jet exhaust or more black . Sure has a candy paint look .. I got couple things to do . Then glue this one exh -

Yes i thought about that . I started doing that , Then i thought again . When these air condition units and furnace come on a skid at work , They are least prefect . Heck some boards are not even by long shot . So I kept this look . But when I get all my sodas cases loaded with clear wrap ,They will not be seen .. I have been working on the soda cases off and on today , Only have a lot more to do Enjoy Rick
