I found this little gem about 4/5 years ago. It has a Honda engine on it and doesn't have that Honda price tag. I have only ever changed the blade on it that is it. That was only cause my kid hit a stump and bent the blade. Not even the spark plug has been changed. It has fuel shut off, automatic choke and it Pull starts with one pull evertime even after sitting all winter with dead gas.

- couple hundie's to replace it 
- replacing that is also in the $2-3 hundy range
The gears, my Honda had 3 speeds and shaft drive, that baby would mow like a beast. Great mower.
... Beats having to pull the frickin rope ...
