The 2166 is a good model of yard tractor and is not the same as what you get at home depot, although you can get air filters, oil filters, and belts from HD or lowes. The tractor is shaft drive to the rear but the model but does not have a PTO so the attachments are run via belt. I have replaced the mower belt twice since I have owned it and the snow thrower belt two times. When using it to throw snow, it's always good to have an extra so if it does go you at least can finish your job.
The number of hours on the engine is a bit of an unknown, as the meter runs if the key is not turned off all the way. There have been at least two occasions where I inadvertently left the key on. Nonetheless, I have used the mower for the last four-five years and the snow thrower for the first three. I then bought a plow since our driveway is very long and I prefer not freezing :)
The whole package comes with the mower, mower deck, snow thrower, winter soft sided enclosure, bagger, and the spare belts. I am asking $2000 for the whole package.
