Before this one sold, I was given a Simplicity Regent (mid 90's)! I has 4 bad tires and needs new switches. But the motor sounds good from what little I have ran it. It's a 14 HP/ 38" cut model. B&S has an oil filter. No smoke on first fire off. Anyways, neighbor catty-corner came over, he moving out but his son is moving in. Wanted to know what I had for a mower for him. Showed him this one in all it's disected glory. Said if I can get it going, he'd buy it (up to $400). We shall see! Deck is good with new gator blades.
