Can anyone provide some advice when looking for a used lawn mower ?
My current issues is both my mowers, are REALLY hard to start. Last year I could only get one to work, the year before the other one. But in every instance, it was a whole lot of pulling, like 10 minutes worth to get them started.
I have a small yard. Looking for a mulcher.
If I find a self propelled, is that something that's easy to deactivate ? Ive never used one and pushing my mower isn't as bad as the small spaces & turning & such.
Will big back wheels help or hurt ?
Found one on craigslist.
Troy-bilt push mower w/ Honda motor. Used for one summer.well maintained.
He wants $100.
Fair ?
Thanks for any & all help.
Answer
I know you said you are looking to buy a used one, and while $100 seems like a great deal, be cautious when you buy used machinery. While they are a bit more expensive, new mulching lawnmowers cost around $300-$500, which is pretty reasonable, they will come with a a warranty and will probably last you much longer.
And this way you can get it with the exact specifications YOU want instead of browsing through tons of different ones on craigslist.
You also mentioned that one of the problems you had was that it was hard to start. You might want to look into an electric starter as opposed to a manual one. They are roughly the same price and the ease to start them can make all the difference.
The benefits to having a self propelled lawnmower are that you don't have to push nearly as hard. You still have to push it though. It adds a lot of benefit on hilly areas and makes it a lot easier.
Lots of peopleI know have said that the Snapper mulcher works great, very reliable and is very reasonably priced.
I will put a couple links below for you to look at with all sorts of information on how to choose the right mower for your needs and a couple of different sites with reasonably priced mowers.
Good luck!

It's for those with tecumseh engines.
I've replaced those before - unless you're mechanically inclined, have someone else. If you're adventuresome, and aren't afraid to tackle things like this, go for it!
Also, try here if this info doesn't do it for you: You can also "ask an expert" on these sites.
