After 20 years of using lawn, garden and subcompact tractors and not having a walk behind mower, my wife and decided that we needed a trimming mower for around the fences and trees on the property as the weed wacker was hard to use and the majority of the trimming a small walk behind mower would work a lot better.
After several months of waiting for the end of the season sales we went to Lowe's and bought a JD JS36 in the box and bought it home. The price was $360.00 and we got 10% off.
I put together the lawn mower in a few minutes and filled it with oil and gas and it started on the first pull. I then went and did some trimming and discovered that I need to wear gloves as the drive handle wears on my thumb but otherwise then that it really does a great job as the mower did mow nice and smooth.
One issue I am going to do is replace the nuts that tighten the handle with regular locking nuts as the plastic ones do tend to work loose and I can put on nilock nuts and washers that are far better for something that still has vibrations from the single cyclinder engine running.
So are there any issues on these little mowers that I should know or should I just relax and mow until it breaks
