I have two customers with steep hills. One is a pain but the other is a bit dangerous to try and mow. I have outfitted a pushmower with a rope pulley and two eyebolts so I can roll the thing downhill then pull it back up. BUT I think a tracked or 4WD radio controlled mower is the way...

Lady's place is really grown up.....REALLY BAD. Tall bushes, vines, trees much too close to her house. She answered my "odd jobs" add in the local trading paper and we came to an agreement on my wife and I removing the brush, trees, etc. and hauling those off to the landfill. I've done jobs...

OK so this potential mowing client hired me (then forgot she hired me and hired someone else...oh well...how it goes) but she had me take off a Honda GCV 160 that some fool had been running with the air filter off of it. Hopefully I can get it going. Questions. When was it made? Honda GCV...

Just a thread to share the silly things that happen to the professional mowers out there.......or anyone I guess! I wish I had this on video! I was weed eating a very steep bank today......gravel road below and house on top. The bank was too steep for any type of mowing and even side-to-side...

Naturally I am now thinking about a complete rebuild......"Little Murray's" shaft is bent.......rest of her seems fine though. I've done a rebuild before (25 years ago in a night class) and I have re-honed a cylinder......is this something I could do on my own? Replace a bent shaft on a 3.5...

I guess that's the end of that! The 20" Murray push mower a mowing client gave me has a bent shaft. I was fearful of that since it had this weird pull of the rope, like it was "catching on something" and the shaft itself (with blade removed) was very wet with oil. The blade itself looked...

So continuing "having fun cleaning up the Murray 20 inch" but hit a snag. I changed the oil and put in a new air filter, new gasoline and some carb cleaner. I give the rope a pull but it doesn't come out very far. The rope seems long enough. It's not "hitting" so I plan to get a new spark...

A mowing client gave me this mower. Older model Murray 20 inch. Today I began the clean up. I think what this lady had was something she'd bought out of a yard sale or off one of those guys we see around here that parks on the side of the road and sells a few old lawn mowers. I'll try and...

I picked up an abandoned mower someone had left in the yard of an abandoned house. The grass was over knee deep and it had been out in the rain for months. It's a Murray 21 inch with B&S 500E engine. I washed it and got it going after removing the dirtiest-air-filter-I'd-ever-seen and...

At the moment, I have 4 push mowers I got for nothing. 1). MTD Yard Machines 22-inch cut. "Little Blacky" given to me by someone that never took care of anything they owned. I make about $500.00 a summer or more mowing with her. 2). MTD with bag...21-inch cut. Given by now-deceased...

A mowing client gave me this mower, left outside for God knows how long. I got her going after adding some oil and removing the beyond-clogged air filter. I have since replaced the filter with a new one. I want to do an oil change but can't seem to find a drain plug. IS THERE A DRAIN PLUG...

Hi there. Totally new here and first time on a tool forum. I have an MTD Yard Machines push mower (Model #: 11Z-084C062 4 Horsepower) that I call "Little Blacky." Little Blacky is named after the pony of the same name from the movie "True Grit." She was given to me in 2001 or 2002 by a...
