I was in the market for a lawn mower and found that Sears had the best selection and on that day, the best deals. I purchased a Craftsman 21" mulch and bag mower with a 190cc Briggs & Stratton 6.75 ft.lb torque for $80 off at $250 and has 2 year warranty. I was used to a primer button and an engine rated in horse power, but this one has 'Ready start' and no primer. Is it an auto choke like on some Artic Cat atvs or not. Has there been any trouble? Who makes Craftsman mowers??? Is it TORO? It seems to be a quality piece, the deck is thick and seems to be a heavy duty material, not like the MTDs I've looked at.
I just found out that 'Husqvarna' made my particular mower based on the source code '944' in the beginning of the item number '944.36819'.

Briggs & Stratton Engines equipped with the Ready Start feature which defeat the need for a primer bulb because the necessary amount of fuel is fed to the carburetor prior to starting. There is no choking required on any Craftsman mower. You are correct about the manufacturer, it is an American subsidary of the Husqvarna Group. The decks on Craftsman mowers are made of a heavy guage steel which makes them a little weighty, but gives them a better quality.

The ultimate mulching mower heavy-duty, easy-to-operate mower is the best residential mulching available from Toro.

The previous owner left me huge piles of wet leaves againgst the fence, about 3 ft deep. What is the best way to get rid of them? I raked the majority into big piles. Should I buy an Electric blower/mulcher and suck them up and then put the droppings around trees/garden? I read the leaves break down into mulch when they are cut up. Or do I run my Toro lawn mower/mulcher over them and take the bagged up pieces and drop them around yard? And last do these leafs that become mulch eventually compost on their own?

Get them away from the fence, that will be bad for the fence if it is wooden. In order to blow leaves, they have to be dry. So you first goal is to spread them out so they can dry, or keep turning them if you weather is dry enough to help, If it is still wet in your area, use a pitchfork or 3 pronged rake to load them into a wheel barrow . Leaves that are used for mulch are run thur a special lawnmower, called a mulcher. If you leave them whole, it will take them a lot longer to break down . If you do mulch them with a mulcher, they are GREAT for your soil.
