It is currently having some problems. Is it worth repairing...or should it be replaced? Are new lawn mowers better than old lawn mowers? Is there any new technology out there? Have lawn mowers changed at all?

Now, I'm totally grateful that she's letting me use it, but she's basically NEVER done any maintenance on this thing. Seriously, we pulled out lawn mower spark plugs from it? And the serpentine belt was getting munched so I had it changed and come to find out it was the one it came with originally! This sucker has 100k on it so....

Anyway, I'm in college and saving like I said so I don't have hundreds of dollars to thrown down on on it if it's going to start falling apart. Before the belt change, it didn't squeal or anything, no problems. Now, when the heater is on, OR if I turn the wheel it squeals horribly. It also does this if it's in park and you turn the wheel either way. The power steering also seems to be going out... Does it seem the belt is probably loose? I had it done at Jiffy Lube so I think I'll bring it back for them to look at.

I've taken off the cover and not sure what to do…? http://www.lawnmowermegasale.com/i-pulled-my-lawn-mower-cordand-it-wont-retract-ive-taken-off-the-cover-and-not-sure-what-to-do http://www.lawnmowermegasale.com/i-pulled-my-lawn-mower-cordand-it-wont-retract-ive-taken-off-the-cover-and-not-sure-what-to-do#comments Sun, 05 Sep 2010 17:16:21 +0000 neil http://www.lawnmowermegasale.com/i-pulled-my-lawn-mower-cordand-it-wont-retract-ive-taken-off-the-cover-and-not-sure-what-to-do I've taken off the cover, and the next plastic piece which holds the gasoline top. I'm not sure where to go from there tho. I've heard that I may need to replace the spring but i'm not sure how to get to it. The wheel which would retract the cord spins (i've wond it with a screw driver). The part that covers the wheel seems to be held down by rivets or something that a screwdriver/allen wrench can't get to because it is a circle. If any one has any suggestions i would appreciate it. I do have pictures which i could send you of what i'm dealing with. Thanks

Just grab the extension cord and plug it onto a couple prongs on top of the mower to gun that starter with serious power. No battery to get weak and give a half-hearted try. And a pull cord option, useful to restart it (away from the power cord) when already warm. Does anybody manufacture one with that 120-volt feature today? I'm impressed that Toro advertises "Starts on one or two pulls for five years or we'll fix it free" but that Reo power starter was an easy-starting mower for about 25 years.
