Looking for a good durable push mower?




Aj


I would like it self propelled, 22 inch cut or above, under $300...Im a 14 year old boy and I mow 5 lawns


Answer
Lawn boy, Cub cadet, or Husqvarna. But they run a little more than $300. I own a lawnboy. I paid $330 for it. I love it

Why did my self propelled lawn mower stop being self propelled?

Our craftsman 22 inch self propelled lawn mower stopped being self propelled. The cable from the handle to the transmission is slack now,no tension on the cable. I think its an easy fix but don't know where to start.Looking under the mower I don't see anything disconnected. I removed the cover on the pulley assembly and other than some grass nothing obvious there. Is there some sort of tensioner missing? Really don't want to spend 300 for another mower as the engine on this is great,never takes more than a few pulls to start and this is a 7 year old mower.


Answer
More than likely the clutch spring broke. unplug the spark plug wire, turn the gas off and tip the mower over you will find the clutch spring either hanging there broken or it will be missing altogether.

they cost about $1.50 and aren't too hard to replace. They are extremely tight though so spreading the coils by hand to reinstall it is not an option.. you have to use vise grips and open the spring then insert small pieces of metal (like cut off pieces of a tuna can top) in between several of the coils to get them open, install the spring and then with a needle nose pliers pull the metal pieces out of the coil.

it's a pain but it can be done relatively quickly.
