A 19.5 hp single piston motor is very weak for that zero turn mower.

It comes from factory with a 23 hp V-Twin motor.

Even with all the horsepower from factory the mower is weak when cutting tall grass.

I do the same thing that guy is doing. Here is a picture of my mower that I am going to fix and flip.

I bought this mower for $200. I am going to spend another $300 in parts and then sell it for $1000.

The mower you are going to buy is not worth it. It doesn't have enough horsepower for that type of mower.

Can't go wrong with a Simplicity

The engine had to be swapped out at 550 hours. The mower is junk. It has less horsepower now with the engine swap.
