Another advantage is they only have one simple bag style which makes it easy to find one.

Yep showing your age Bruce, just an EP tip NEVER get the aftermarket blade adapters always use the MTD OEM adapter: too many horror stories with the aftermarket adapters failing by breaking at the keyway or blade bolt breaking off without hitting anything. A couple of our customers got one or two cuttings and the blades never hit anything. Basically we supplied them with OEM adapters for less than they paid for the aftermarket and they are still cutting without issue. When the aftermarket bolt snaps off it is not difficult to remove with a hammer and small chisel or set but when in breaks deep inside it is a special welding job with MIG welding and a copper tube to get that out. Splendid job on this on buddy, the OLD MAN over and out.

The engine manufacturer is Powermore, it's Chinese built, I have one on my Cub Cadet (MTD) push mower. The deck is almost identical to the deck on my Cub Cadet, minus the side chute and deck washer. Perhaps MTD made a mower deck and branded it a Powermore for this engine clone manufacturer? Mine has run flawlessly for four cutting seasons, just change the oil, clean the filter, remove the "broccoli" and sharpen the blade.
