I really like briggs and stratton engine and overall Tasco TLM18 5hp. Disclaimer: I have Toro and Ariens mowers. However, I can't give 5stars to this Tasco due to 2 small but important "safety" factors. Such as missing bolts for blade assy and safety push down throttle. In short, it is not the same as its pictures. Description is not saying that (missing parts) either.
My blade is off centered against its cover now. Hope that engine vibration doesn't make it worse and become a safety issue.
