	I bought a "RENT DUTY" lawnmower at a local rental agency for about
$130.  The engine is running OK after 3 seasons (1st season ceased upon
hitting a hidden car "wash glove"). (Briggs&Stratton)
	It has reduced an acre+ of *bumpy*, *brushy*, *lots-of-branches*
ground to what I can easily mow with my SEARS Lawn Tractor (10/36).
	The frame of the handmower, though, has lost two poorly-welded
supports.  It still runs fine enough to do the small bit of landscaping in
the front yard, though.  (I did replace the poor blade this season.)
