I have had my Murray tractor (42") since 1985! It works great. Wash it off with a hose after cutting 2 acres and keep the blades sharp. I can see these worthless complainers in my memory. I can call them as they walk into my pharmacy from 100 feet away.
They don't take care of equipment (dull blades, run the mower deck into a stump and mis-align it, then wonder why it cuts unevenly.
Wake up idiots! Use your pea brain to look at the tractor AND lawnmower. I have worked on engines and tractors for 40 years! I don't care about people's heart attacks -- I'am working with a dis-located shoulder that needs surgery NOW. DON'T COMPLAIN, WORK ON IT.

OK, but we think Dr. J should buy a new Murray and see how it compares to his '85 model.
