AMP Rider by Ariens, an all-electric riding lawn mower, which delivers as much drive and cutting power as a conventional gas-powered riding mower ...
I have a Montgomery Wards Riding Lawn Mower its an 8 Horse Power Electric Start Model # ZYJ-1408 Serial # 37X-1479. Can anyone tell me what year it was built, what company made it and the size or number of the V Belt that runs the mower deck.
Thanks
Sears made by Toro mid 80's and just take the belt off and buy same size except inch shorter to allow for stretch.
Gas?
Electric?
Push mower?
Riding mower?
Which one do you feel is the most practical for you, and which one is the best for the environment?
I bought a house out in the country a few years ago and let the grass grow. It is like a meadow now. Why have short grass when you can look out the window and watch the deer and rabbits?
The riding lawn mower is a craftsman 10 HP 30" deck
Electric Start
The model number is 502-270-110
And the mfg date is 98055
The asking price is $275
The mower appears to be a little rusty, it started up ok I guess, I have no knowledge whatsoever on lawn mowers though.
What I want to know is,
1) What year is this model, I can't tell from the mfg date...
2) Is this a good deal?
Thank you so so much for all your help guys, I really appreciate it!
Thanks for your honest reply. My lawn is big and it really bothers me when I have to cut it. What price do you think I should ask for it?
Also if everyone else could give me an honest reply too I would appreciate it. If its not worth it tell me, I work hard for my money and I don't want to waste it.
That's a fair price as long as the mower is in good shape but not anything to write home about. If the mower were in excellent shape I'd say yeah get it.
You should test it out. Make sure it doesn't smoke when it's running. Check the tires. Belts and pulleys...I wouldn't expect them to be new but not worn out either.
Make sure the steering is not loose. The deck doesn't rattle bad etc...all these things cost money to replace. You can spend more money repairing a worn out mower than if you just bought an inexpensive new one.
How old is the battery...that's another 30 bucks. See what I mean? Does the starter grind when you crank it? $30 for a new one
Belts can run up to 100 bucks for a set...same for tires. Blades can be expensive ($20-50).if one of these things is a bit worn okay but if it looks like several items are worn out...let it go.
Sears/craftsman mowers are good, especially if it's got a briggs & stratton motor. Tecumseh engines not so good.
I've had a couple of them. My first one lasted 20 years and it got USED a lot.
Don't mean to scare you off. Just giving you a heads up on what to look for.....good luck
PS, I don't know how old it is..probably made May 05, 1998 If so, thats getting kinda old.
Craftsman mowers went from silver to green about 5 or 6 years ago, if I recall correctly. If it's not green at least I'd say it's getting too old. Unless you've got some mechanical skills.
edit: almost any functioning riding mower is worth $200...but figure on basic maintenance only and just ride it until it falls apart. If you get 2 or even 3 seasons out of it consider yourself lucky. Blades and belts, batteries, oil changes, spark plugs, etc are usually easy to replace. If you can't do it yourself be cautious of repair shops...once you start down that road you'll wind up screwed in the end...I guarantee it.
Hi, and thanks for looking at a crazy question. Just for the heck of it I thought I'd ask if there was some way that I could make my riding lawn mower legal to be road registered in the great state of Utah. I wondered if there's some little loop hole for things registered for in town only. Take for example those electric road carts. They are registered in town only. I'm building a hot rod/ rat rod mower, with the steering and suspension on the front rebuilt to be safe at high speeds. I don't know what kind safety stuff would have to be in place, but if you can find out, please let me know. Please don't mock and scorn me, I just thought I'd ask for the heck of it. Any documents you can suggest would be awesome. Thanks so much!!!

Commercial walk behind commercial lawn mower are those that you walk behind rather than riding. In order from them to chop the grass they’re going to need to be pushed through the grass. Sit on mowers are sometimes much costlier than walk behind mowers. Unless you are regularly mowing a space of more than one acre it is not really worth the extra money to buy a riding mower. Walk behind mowers come in numerous different types including push reel, electric, cordless, gas, and commercial.
Commercial walk behind mowers will have a wider cut and a massive capacity thick roll formed catcher which is made with a robust steel mesh. They are generally strong enough to handle stones and include special grip handles for comfort and ease when you’re lifting and emptying the catcher. The majority of the time commercial walk behind mowers will fold for ease of storage and transport.
...Selection of your Lawn Care Machine
Lawn mower has become one of important equipments for your lawn. Lawnmower is used to cut grass to an even length on a smaller scale. Mower machine is really one of the most valuable and time-Saving power tools.
There are different types of electric model of mower available in the market which will sure make your work as simple as you want it. You can easily choose one of them according to your requirement. These electric models have very strong batteries which can mow at least a half acre before it needs to be recharged. These electric models are really quiet eco friendly as they don’t produce any noxious fumes.
A proper mower for your lawn is the first step to get a beautiful lawn in your home. If you have a very large yard, a riding lawnmower or lawn tractor will probably make most sense. If your yard is small to medium sized, perhaps a walk behind mower with high wheels will work better, especially if your yard has any steep slopes. If it’s a small yard, you might be able to get away with an electric mulching lawnmower or even a reel type push mower instead.
