Just select the city you are closest to. The link lists a bunch of cities in Iowa. https://geo.craigslist.org/iso/us/ia Ames, which is the first on the list, has working push motors for as low as $40.00 to $60.00 each. Try the mower before you buy it. Keith

It's lighter and easier to push according to him. I don't have Facebook but my wife does. Check out the marketplace on there if you've got it. Last edited by Badger23; 08/15/21 05:29 AM.
