    by Colby Colman; the third one listed is titled, “Leaf & Stick Rake for Ride-on Mower” is the one I want to buy. However, the other two listed has a box that reads: “Check its Current Price At Amazon” unfortunately, this model doesn’t have that & there’s no other info on “where” it can be purchased. There’s no model name or model # to research further. Contacted Amazon since at the beginning of the article it states: “As an Amazon affiliate, we earn a commision from qualifying purchases.” (Ya’ll’s typo, not mine) but they can’t help without more information.
    Can someone please help? Thank you in anticipation of a response.
