    Mower question

    I have, for many years, drilled mower decks and installed a garden hose fitting for wash-out
    i am now questioning if that is a great idea, as it certainly guarantees that the stuck- on grass clippings will be wet, tho I bet the air from the blades will dry it quickly
    Thoughts ???

    I just hit the underside with a putty knife and wire brush on occasion to remove the build up.

    I have to bend over too far

    I get a boner.

    I joined a support group to help me deal with my social anxiety but I just can't seem to work up the nerve to go to a meeting......

      I thought the purpose for that is if you use lawn treatments and the chemicals can damage blades?

      Mine has that port and I've used it once or twice but stopped.

        Can always be fixxed with common parts, and weighs some 800#
        A key thing is the Peerless transaxle, none better

        The new Crapsman has a freaking NYLON transaxle housing. ¡!!!!!!

          Mine has the port and hose fitting as well. Maybe it would have worked on all the grass buildup if I'd used it the first time I mowed and every time since, but that ship has sailed. Doesn't do a thing for the grass buildup now.

          Previous lawnmower had an aluminum deck. Hopefully this one doesn't end up rusting out on me.

              Every once in a while it would be temperamental and you had to clean out the float bowl, but otherwise it ran great. I was given the new lawnmower as a gift.

              A friend who is/was tight on money moved into a new house and commented about needing a lawnmower. I didn't need two, so I gave him the older aluminum one and explained how to clean out the float bowl. A few months later I asked him how it was working for him and he said he threw it out and bought a new one. Oh well.

                  I just scrape the deck when I take it off to put the snowblower on. I don’t get a lot of clumping with it being so dry right now, so I don’t worry too much about it.
