Note:
Wall Mart no longer sells SNAPPER lawnmower.  SNAPPER refused to drop
price, which would have required a quality reduction.
Do you think the "John Deer" at Home Depot is the same machine as that
at a John Deer dealer?

Several years ago, I needed a washing machine.  Fellow in my church
was regional sales rep for Westinghouse.  He said go to XYZ, one of
his dealers and the fellow would do the best he could do. That was how
he got his appliances!
3 weeks later the same model was on sale about $25 cheaper at a big
discount store.  I mentioned it to my buddy.  He told me not so, I
should compare the "Long Form" of the S/N on the back of both
machines.  I did, they were both the same model on the front but were
different in the "Long Form".
Any manufacturer of electric motors (for instance) will tell you that
there are several grades (and costs) for the same frame size motor.
The better and more costly one runs cooler, draws less power and lasts
longer.  Guess who gets the culls?

YMMV
