Bingo! The Honda Harmony series is one heck of a mower, although the throttle control, on the side of the handle always strikes bushes and gets moved down to idle.
Very annoying!
I had a Craftsman mower prior t the Honda, and it was a joke. There was a time when Craftsman mowers were of excellent quality, but those days are gone forever (although some of them use Honda engines, as do many other mowers). The "body" and wheels are what went bad on my Craftsman within a few years of relatively easy use, and the safety shutoff also fail - this would have cost more to fix than to replace the mower, so off to buy a Honda I went.
No regrets whatsoever since that day (except for the throttle thing).
