This may be considered a rather odd request, but I'd like to find an identical (or rather similar) mower to what I have. I purchased used about three years ago a Model #917270810 Craftsman Tractor. It's been a great mower but over the few years I've had it I've had to replace rather a few parts, carburetor rebuild, etc. It still runs great and I just mowed with it yesterday. The more time I invest in it the more I learn about it and thus become more confident in fixing it. Over the weekend I tore apart the wiring harnesses, fixed some of the connections, installed a new starter motor, and have a new starter solenoid coming later this week. Chances are I'll continue to make it work until I cannot.

However, it's in rough condition and quite a few of the parts are rusted, worn, broken, etc. I've had in mind to buy a new(er) mower for a while, but I've decided three or so things.

1) I like the manual aspect of this mower and would prefer to stay away from hydrostatic mowers.

2) I like mowing in reverse, which a lot of newer mowers disable or require an "override".

3) I'll lose all the experience I have with the mower I have.

If this price and condition is right, I'd love to buy an "in better shape" mower of what I've got. I'd have quite a few spare parts off of my old one. The mower I'm looking for specifically has Briggs and Stratton Opposed Twin Turbo. Mine is 19.5 HP but I think they varied slightly by the years they were made. Essentially, they look like this:

I found this one but it's in Huntsville. That give you an idea of what I'm looking for as well.
