Welcome, I purchased (stole) a # 1250 this pst Summer & has become my main mower for my yard & really like it. By doing a bit of looking one does not have to be afraid in getting any part one needs, anything is availabe. Even complete wiring harnes & if your a little handy you can do it yoursef for a fraction of the cost.
Just remember to take a lot of pictures if you start working on it so you can always look back & see whats what.
Nik,
