I am a retired college teaching professor, who has taken over raking leaves. Now want to go to cutting grass on lawn. The lawn is straight and small in front. In the back there really is not much grass. The lawn is more the crabgrass type. Even with the greatest of efforts, it will not get that "golf green" lawn look.
I am not interested in a riding lawn mower. Have talked to a couple of people. It looks like a push lawn mower with a bag is the way for me to go. Someone mentioned having one in which you do not have adjust the wheels.
Am concerned about what would be best to buy, where. Safety is also a major concern on how to adjust the blades, and any other matters should know about.
Tired of walking and thought practical exercise would be good. The mower would pay for itself soon.
Any suggestions about operating and buying a motorized push lawn mower would be greatly appreciated.
As long as I can remember my family has always used a Briggs & Stratton lawn mower. Our lawn has always looked picture perfect!!!
need a safety check on lawn mower.
I would think that a shop could do it in an hour depending on the type of mower. That would be about $60. What is the purpose of the safety check? What are you concerned about?
Does anyone know of lawn mowers that stop the blades when you let go, but keep the engine running?
Most of the mowers sold today have that feature, it is the lever that is attached to the handle that engages the blades so you can mow.. Look for the small lever sticking up that is attached to the main handle on all of these mowers.

There are 4 wires on the John Deere mower seat switches.
I want a way to permanently by pass the switch, if anyone knows where I could obtain a wiring diagram for 2007 L series, that would answer my question.
Under the seat there should be two wires attached to the seat. Cut and strip both wires and twist them together and try to start the mower. If it starts, use a wire nut and electrical tape on the connection and forget about it. If it doesn't start, cut both wires and insulate them with tape separately and the mower should now start.
