GDay, sorry so late to the video! Just bought a new HRU196 commercial push with blade brake, the 20 year old HRU19D is still going great but now relegated to spare duties on the trailer in case of such a cable failure on the new baby. I only mow a few commercial properties, these are great mowers, even in the wet. Cheers Peter in Melb.
@geelongmowing9919 Hi. Going great thx. Going to put an hour meter on it to keep track for services. Waiting for meter to arrive. Starts first pull like the GCV. The GX160 powerplant seems louder than the GCV160. Just a different engine with the cast iron bore I guess and different muffler. The HRU196 is certainly heavier to push and more complicated with the extra blade brake handle to keep squeezed in which is a pain, price of new safety works we live in I guess. That's why I didn't go self propel, even more components to go wrong and I need the pushing exercise anyway! I expect this new Honda will last longer than me as I look after them well! Cheers, Peter.

A good and simple video. Thanks for taking the time. I will save it for future reference.
