 289 hrs on 2008 MBSD 23hpGuys, I am looking at a used MBSD 23HP. My question is if you guys think that is excessive time on the Vangard engine? Am I looking at problems or a rebuild soon if I buy it? I noticed that most rigs are selling with anywhere from 40-180hrs usually; so, the 289 sounds a lil strong. But in the pics I have seen the motor does not appear to be dogged out. And, I know; the proof is in the pudding: I need to go run it for the acid test. I just thought it may be worth discussing before I drive to go look at it. Thanks.

Re: 289 hrs on 2008 MBSD 23hp There is no reason it shouldn't run 1000 hours.

Re: 289 hrs on 2008 MBSD 23hp think of a commercial B and S lawnmower. The ones that stay busy get that many hours in a few months.

If you want to swirl wine and stay in a room where politics and investment diversity are discussed (with no roaches) lake lanier is near Atlanta. If you wanna have an awesome time and maybe stay in a room where children were conceived on one side and someone got stabbed over an 8-ball on the other come on down I got a can of raid.

Re: 289 hrs on 2008 MBSD 23hp I've seen B&S's on mowers with 500 hrs with out an oil change, or a filter change for that matter. Not that I would try it, but if they taken care of there's no reason they shouldn't last anything short of forever.
