Q.
Answer
A good quality push mower will last you a life time if you take care it it properly.
Change the oil and filters regularly etc etc.
Keep the blade sharpe so the motor doesn't have to work as hard.
Also something a lot of people forget about,
You need to clean the grass out from under the deck when you finish mowing, the damp grass clumped up under the deck will cause it to rust out in a couple of years
My Grandfather has an OOooold craftsman lawn mower that has a hand crank to start it, a handle that looks like bicycle handle bars and the front has these wicked looking teeth.
That sucker is older than I am (I'm 40) and it looks and runs just like new.

Need a new push mower: what to look for?

I need a new push mower. The old one (18+ years) is dead, but I don't know how to choose. I noticed everything is rated in torque now instead of hp. And to complicate things even further - I've seen engines with smaller cc's and more torque or vice verse! How the heck do I just find a solid mower with the power to cut dense grass. I don't need self propelled, which seems to be all they sell these days -- I just want a tough as nails push mower like my old Lawn Boy 7 h.p. that could cut and mulch grass like no tomorrow.

i cant help you make a choice really i know what you mean, especially with quality these days just not what it used to be .. i needed a push mower simply because i wanted an easy way to bag leaves and clippings for mulch and chicken nesting material and have a large field type yard that can get quite wooly so it couldnt be a weeny powered 'manicure' type mower .. i like quality stuff that appears it will last and have functionality so i considered wheel size, whether the deck and wheel mounting areas are all metal or 'plasticized' ect .. i didnt need self propelled but wasnt against the idea ... what i found was nothing i was satisfied with within a reasonable price range, what we are talking is for what i personally considered to look solid all around is in the 3-400$ range and even most of those looked to have weak links like part plastic in structural areas ... so ... finally after much frustration i just decided to concentrate on reviews of satisfied customers on bare bones cheap ones all i needed was a bagger .. i settled on a base model non self powered Yardman and it was pretty cheap .. its got plenty of go power, starts first or second lick every time now for going on 3 years of pretty much constant use .. ive changed the oil, bang out the air filter every few runs and pull the wheels and clean the holes and spindles and re-grease about once a season .. its been a real champ ..
this is the one i got but not from target, i forget where i ordered it from tell you the truth

the review on the page i totally disagree with, one thing you dont do with a mower is let gas sit in it for more than a couple of weeks is all i have to say on that one .. learn what fuel stabilizer is ya know .....
