I don't If it doesn't run I get another one. (pushmower) I don't think I have ever changed the oil in any pushmower I've had. That probably explains why I have had 4 in the last 5 years. LOL

Anyways go with gas. You wouldn't want an electric car would ya?

True story ..... I bought a ryobi push mower new in a damaged box for $100. Assembled pu tin oil and mowed the lawn once a week for 8 months a year for 7 years....just add gas. I know it wasn't right.

But it is funny!!! It seems like that is last thing someone worries about when it comes to maintenance. But the first thing to cuss when it is time to do yard work.

I change the oil in my mower every fall. I feel like an idiot now.

I guess that's why I still have my '84 Toro mower. You know, the kind of mower without any of those darn safety features. It's a relic, but it starts on the first pull every time.
I actually put new wheels on it because I wore the tread off the old ones.

Take wider turns and the tread will last longer.

I have to decide if I am going to rebuild my 83 lawnboy self propelled or replace it, it has no compression and I have to start it on choke cleaner, but I like the old beast.

Maybe that and the fact that your summer is so short that you cut 3 times and it's fall again
Cut mine yesterday during the winter I can cut once every 2 weeks

Throw it in the gutter and go buy anutter.
