Our lawnmower bit the dust last week. We used it for 18 years and it was very reliable. Then engine just wore out. The guy at the shop said he could find the 2025 equivalent and he sure did. One important specification is that it has to be 21 inches wide so that we can get it past the air conditioner compressors and into the back yard. So today we took delivery, added oil and gassed it up to give it a try. It worked perfectly. Ginny gave it a short spin and found there was nothing in the grass catcher. It turned out that the mulching attachment was installed which blocks the grass catcher. We took that out and saw that the deck was set much too high. After adjusting the wheels it was working just fine.
