I have both mowers and the both leaked oil from the valve cover. I had to pull both out, clean up the old sealant and put new gasket maker on both to stop the leak

That Toro is junk. Personal pace is garbage, throttle cable bracket is plastic (mine was broken from the start), and the bracket angle adjustment wouldn't stay in place ... RETURNED.

I worked at a tire shop and air pressure will be the same as it was before. Not sure why you mention that? If it was 35 before, it’s still 35. People look at the side of the original tire and sees the tire says maximum tire pressure, let’s say it was 70psi, they think that’s what you should air it up to. Then, they buy new tires, same size and maybe it says 80psi, the dumb customers think it should be aired up to 80psi and come back and complain 😂

Is it possible to put the HRX wheels on the HRN?

The self propel recently went out in my old mid 1990s Honda HR 215. During my searching I saw Honda push mowers were on sale at the Home Depot during Memorial Day weekend. So I went with the HRX217HYA. Just waiting for it to arrive to the store so I can pick it up. Hoping to get a good few decades of mowing out oof it.

I purchased this mower a month ago and it clogs every single time without fail. Ordered the discharge chute after the first mow and it still hasn't shown up. This mower is such a headache and not worth it in my opinion. I cannot mow my lawn without it clogging and shutting off and that's even when the deck is raised. I'm very disappointed

I have yet to get the sweet spot on the drive cable. At this point I have just disabled the drive. It is complete crap. I would return the thing but Menards won't take it back. Knowing what I know now, I would not buy.

I was gifted. A used one please. Had it completely tuned up looking like new & a few things replaced. I have a generally flat 3/4 of an acre lawn. My biggest complaint about this mower Is that it requires so much grip strength to keep the blades engaged. Far more thsn any mower ive had previously. And i don't like the placement of the blue stability handle. Ive smashed my fingers a few times already engaging the power assist

Man, lawn mowers have been so dissapointing lately. I had an EGO and had nothing but issues. I had to live with that for about 3 years and gave up. Got a Honda a few years back and after one season it constantly surges. I replaced the carborator because cleaning it didn't fix the issue and after 5 months It started to surge again.

That only goes so far in my experience. I would that then take the wheels off and see how far the grease actually went. You might be surprised.

Get the GXV engines. They're commercial grade not consumer grade. Scag has a Honda engine GXV160 option on their 21" self-propelled push mower. For home use I went with the Honda over the two Kohler engine options. Honda is 4hp and Kohler is 5hp & 7hp. 4hp is plenty for me. I'm not cutting fields that are a foot tall.

Recently purchased this mower. Your mower clearly mows differently than mine. It's the worst mowing I have ever had. Mower runs good but cuts horrible. Leaves a line of grass in the middle of where it cut. This is using the mulching. My old mower with a single blade cut fine. The question i have is how to make it cut all the grass and stop leaving grass?
