2 Sweet Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I am "selling" an old Craftsman 6.5 hp rear wheel drive 21" mulching push mower. I'm telling you now, you've probably never seen a mower quite like this The good: -It mows GREAT! Doesn't bog down, even in tall/thick grass -Starts first pull, runs well -Self-propelled, rear wheel drive The bad: -Kill switch doesn't work, so you need to pull the wire off the spark plug to get it to shut off. There's a zip tie on it, so it only takes two seconds to reach down and give it a yank. Easy peasy! Truth be told, I liked this because I could stop to pick up a piece of trash or something without having to restart it again. -The gas tank leaks. The tank was usually around 1/8 full when I was done mowing, and would be bone dry the next week when I would go back out to mow. No big deal -I think the self propelled feature only works on the high speed. It's a normal pace of walking so it was never an issue for me. -The handle is broken on both sides and held together with hose clamps. At first it was only the one side, but the other side broke halfway through my last mow of the year, so it's held together with bubble gum and duct tape (not really, but close) just good enough so I could finish the yard. I think that just about covers everything. I bought this mower off craigslist for $20 a couple years back, and all this hillbilly rigged stuff was already like that when I bought it. It's been a great mower for me but I plan on buying something new this year. Yes it's pretty fucky, but it really does work well. I'll "trade" it for a 6-pack of Coors.
