cobo6 asked: I have a riding lawn mower that is destroying my grass. As you know riding lawn mowers have different level as to how high you want to cut your grass, normally I would cut my grass at level 2, but now level 2 is destroying the lawn. So i had to move the blade lever from level 2 to level 4. So my question is—is buying a new blade for my riding lawn mower will find this problem.

full metal asked: Hi I know this might be an easy question for some but I am 19 and a girl. I have never started a mower before. I am watching my parents house for them while they are on vacation. I want to mow the lawn for my dad. He has a Cub Cadet commercial mower. I tried to find the manual online but it doesn’t have a model plate anymore so I don’t know the model or serial number. Its a ride on mower I think its a zero turn or something (the kind with the two handles)
I know where the brake is and the key and it has gas
i thought i could just release the brake and turn the key
but obviously not
please help me lol

n317537 asked: I was mowing yesterday when the drive belt fell off. I put the belt back on and finished mowing the yard. This morning I noticed a large puddle of oil under my mower. I checked it and found the right drive pump was empty. Should I refill it and try to mow again or should I take it in for repairs?
Thanks for the opinions. Your right I bet it is a seal. Guess it’s going to cost me 54$ an hour to find out.

Victor asked: How good are they and how are their Zero Point turn machines for longevity. Have a John Deere 314 that cut 3 acres+ of grass and hauled since new in 1979 and engine lasted 27 years before being rebuilt becuase it was burning oil.
Stopped into Gravely Ariens and just wonder how good they are. Still will never sell the old deere but just wanted to know thinking on another tractor.

greenegardens asked: I have a Bolens riding lawn mower and the belt snapped. We have a replacement belt, but can’t find my owners manual – I need to know where/how to tighten it? Anybody please?
I have accessed the company’s website to get a manual download, however they do for whatever reason do not recognize the serial and model number on the riding mower… I am not sure why – as I have tried it with dots, slashes, hyphens and spaces [the only thing missing are the bells and whistles] and still no results…
I am sure eventually I’ll figure it out – or take to the next repair place – it’s simply that I would have liked to get the grass cut this weekend…

Graciela, RIRS asked: My aunt offered me a good deal on her old riding lawn mower and I really want to buy it. Unfortunately, I have no place for it. My garage is too small, and our cars barely fit already. I have no shed and can’t afford to build one. Are there any other options?

delain J asked: i was employed at a small lawn company with less than 10 employees. one day while mowing in the rain, i was told by my supervisor to finish mowing a waterlogged section of property. i did as i was told and finished the job. approx. 3 weeks later i was questioned by another employee about damage that the mower (medium zero turn tractor) did to this property. i answered his questions to the best of my ability, and was then told that i wasnt allowed to mow anymore. from there things go down hill, we took on a new employee (also black) a month before this incident, and he repeatedly made mistakes and damaged property, he even knocked a central air unit off of its base.
when customers would call to complain and were asked if they saw who cause the damage they responded with “i dont know, some black guy.” myself and others on the crews know its not me, but the blame is put on my shoulders, after being ignored by my boss, and being told by a crew leader that my boss said i “cannot mow because he doesnt want any black people mowing.” my boss never discussed this with me and simply refused to talk about it when i asked him. i was hired as a mower, then told i could not mow anymore, i would be called off on days where everyone else was working and suffered loss of wages because of this. then i was singled out to work with my boss on a sprinkler installation.
during the two days that i could stand it, i was constanly berated throughout my 10 hr shifts, cursed at, and the final straw was being called a f”ing idiot because i didnt know what i was doing (first time doing landscaping) i was even yelled at for double checking that i was doing everything right. i have discussed this with family and friends, and they seem to think that i was discriminated against because my boss made a decision to reduce my duties because i was one of the two people that could have been the cause of the complaints. my boss made no effort to discuss this matter or find out exactly who was the cause.
thank you, and i am in school, no tech just medicine, it was just a summer job while i was home.

muchmoney67444 asked: I just got hired at Sears at the lawn and garden. The only problem is that I dont know shit about lawn mowers and thats the main thing that gets me commision. I can sell grills, athletic equitment, and pretty much everything else, but I need help. So my question is, does anyone know of any sites that would tell me everything about riding lawn mowers, and zero turn radius mowers? Or just some advice you know about them would be fine also. I would also like some advice of what to say when selling one to a customer. Thank you so much everyone. Im a bit nervous because Im only 16 and only had worked a Winn Dixie before…
