I, most always, use those honda engines for boat anchors, but you can do as you like! As for asking me--I'd suggest a Craftsman lawn mower, if you want something that will give good service, is easy to fix, and you won't be helping some gook to make a lot of money! JMHO! Rusty Jones

Your seller is playing fast and loose with the facts. HR214 (2 speed) was last made in 1989 or 1990. That's more like 20 years old. Also fitted with 4hp GXV-120 engine.

Masters and Harmony models (HR-215, HRA-215, HRM-215) came out in 1989 and had 5hp GXV-140 engine and 3 speed transmission or hydrostatic.

It's a good mower, but 20+ years and only 4hp; I couldn't sell it for more than $75 or maybe $100 if exceptionally clean.
