+subby1 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 All of them run GREAT, and are rebuilt to last. Only one of them is over $75. They include basic push mowers, one with front wheel self-propel, and one with a bagging unit. If you're in the market for a mower this season, but don't want to spend $200 on even the cheapest mower, brand new, then give me a call. Save yourself some money, while not having to worry about quality. These are all fine mowers, fully reconditioned, do not burn oil or smoke, have good compression and plenty of power to get the job done!

It's so much better to have one that has been reconditioned by a professional!! Link to post Share on other sites
+subby1 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 That's a heck of a good deal. It's so much better to have one that has been reconditioned by a professional!! Well, Tom....it's like this. For one thing, I have repaired more than my share of push mowers that were bought brand new, and landed in my shop before the owners could get ONE season out of them. I have been told that bringing them back to "the super-stores" that sell them en masse, is not only a total pain in the butt (assuming it's still under warranty) but after waiting for 2 or more weeks, a lot of times they won't make it through a single cutting before crapping out again. You wouldn't believe how many REALLY NICE push mowers people have GIVEN to me for free, simply because of things like this. About 95% of the time it's a carburetor issue. It seems, from my experience in dealing with these mowers that were brought back for repair to the "super-stores" (I'm referring to the stores that sell a lot of building materials) they tend to hire young people who will gladly take the jobs for very low pay as a way to learn how to repair. While I certainly promote such measures for young people who are learning, there seems to be a problem with having a supervisor checking out their work. When I crack these carbs open, it's just OBVIOUS what the problem was, though it was never fixed. To be fair to the people who get these mowers back in, I'm sure they have to deal with a lot of people who used "bad gas", so they just clean the carb out, and send it back on its way. Unfortunately, they tend to miss the fact that the bad gas, or whatever contaminants found in the carb usually cause seating problem with the needles. The synthetic rubber seats will swell, and prevent enough gas to flow into the carb. So, while they can get it to crank up, they assume it's good to go. Well, that's just not the case- you have to put the engine under a load...then you realize it is starving for fuel, cutting out, etc. Most of today's carb are non-adjustable, so the float setting has to be prefect or else you'll have problems. I understand that you can go to a yard sale or flea market and buy push mowers all day long for $25. They probably run too, or no one would buy them...but for how long? And I can assure you they haven't been checked over and reconditioned with good blades, good carbs, new fuel line, clean tanks, spark plugs, ignition coil gap settings, etc. I check every one of these things before I sell a mower. Chances are, if you buy a mower from me, it will not give you any problems for a LONG time, as long as you keep the oil changed, always use good gas, and keep them stored out of the rain. I have more customers than I can count who have bought mowers from me three years ago (many of them are landscapers, so these things get used to death) and they are still running like a new one. Sorry to get so technical, but these are things that people really should know before they spend their hard earned money on a Chinese mower that flies off an assembly line with very little quality control.
