[@grammyanon]

Thank you. I haven't rode a mower in years until my husband passed. I don't remember them being this complicated. I would've never figured out how to get the parking brake off on my own. The manual disappeared long ago. Appreciate the video, well done.

Searched our mower to find a how to video on how to use it to surprise the husband and get the yard mowed. First few seconds I noticed your hand! My daughter was also born with a limb difference and we both were so excited to see you! Thank you so much she is 4, so now is that critical time that she is taking notice in her limb difference, your hand made her so happy, we picked your video by coincidence, amazing thank you❤

I just bought one of these yesterday and it's going to be delivered today. If this mower is as reliable and tough as my Husqvarna string trimmer, then it should last me a lifetime

[@utubegoogler3585]

Hey, thanks for the wonderful video. I am 'mowed' (impressed) by it. I got this model delivered to my home today and, after poring over the operator and reference manuals for 30 minutes, drove it nervously. Kept the deck height at level 6 to start with. Wasn't sure of the reverse controls. I did reverse/back up a couple times but not without fumbling. Your explanation on reverse movement and leaving the key in the Reserve switch-mode to move seamlessly back and forth was a revelation to me. I thought I had to switch between Reverse Mode and then press the Reverse pedal to move it back and then switch to the Engine-On Mode to move forward. Also, the Transmission Engage Rod at the back was a useful tip. Overall, a wonderful presentation. Thank you.

My first two seasons were great with this tractor. For some reason this year I'm scalping my yard. Have tried all scripted fixes. Tire pressure, deck adjustments, scalping wheels etc; . Better cuts yet still some scalping to a lesser degree. I have watched so many videos, my next step is checking the mandrel. I have sharpened blades and replaced them as well. " Stumped"!

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

You need to check where your blades come by each other to make sure all four sides come across even. You most likely have bent blades or a bent deck or mandrel shaft.

my mower has a lot of missing features

[@rwoodard6984]

Hi, and thanks for the very informative video. I just bought one of these last week new and have a question about the deck. granted, my yard is not very smooth, but the deck seems to float noisily, like a lot of bumping around. Is that normal for this tractor? I’ve looked underneath and everything looks like it’s hooked up the way it’s supposed to be and I don’t see anything bent. One reason I’m concerned is that when Lowes unloaded it the fellow did it by sliding forks on his forklift from the back of the mower under the deck and picking it up that way which he said doesn’t hurt it however, it doesn’t look like the best way to do it as far as I’m concerned. Just wondering if you felt there could be any hidden damage .

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Can’t say either way without seeing it up close. If everything looks as it should o will assume it is. You are correct about the unloading process. I would never want to pick up a mower from under the mower deck with metal forks.

I bought this tractor in April. I need to plow snow with it and can't find a way to add the weight to it without taking off the back wheels. The holes don't seem to line up. Wondering how difficult it will be to add a snow plow. The model is the same that I bought. Any help would be appreciated.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

My opinion, This model tractor is not built tough enough to withstand the weights and plow. I do not install plows or recommend it. Take the money you will spend purchasing all the equipment for the tractor and purchase the largest self propelled snow thrower for the money. Again, this is just my opinion working on lawn tractors for over thirty years.

Hello, and thanks for the video. My friend just gave me his old Husqvarna yth26v54 2012 for free. I think its been used for about 600 hours. He is not the best when it comes to maintenance. It seems to work fine but I want to take it in to get serviced before I start using it. Whats is the lifespan of these tractors? Thanks, any info appreciated.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

The life of the tractor depends on the owner and how well he takes care of it. 600 hrs is a lot for that tractor.

[@jbowen529]

Good job. I just got one and I'm wondering what the strange cap on the top of the deck is for? Any ideas. Can't find it in the manual

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

You may be talking about the washout port that is on the mower deck. If you bought the machine new you may have the part that goes to your garden hose somewhere most likely with the owners manual bag. I would suggest not using it because water and these machines don’t mix. Meaning you will ruin mower deck bearings transmission bearings either bearings all the above when you spray the machine down with water. Check your manual to see if it shows you how to use the washout port. I will never have a video on it because I do not believe in using those ports as they will ruin your machine. Just my opinion. You can also take a picture of it and send it to me through my email.

[@jbowen529]

Makes perfect sense. Thank you

[@philipholman1713]

Just got mine , manual looked like it got run over during delivery, was not walked through the operations of mower this helped a lot. It there a spot for a trailer hitch on three things? It is a tractor right?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

There should be a hole in rear near the hydro release and that is meant to pull a cart. I do not suggest putting anything larger in the rear for towing. The hydro transmissions are not built as well as they were back in the day. What do you want tow?

I'm looking forward to using this one now. I'll try to take better care of it, as it will be my last one I'll need, since I'm 70. Thanks for the info on how to run it. I wasn't sure about the cruise control or how to run it in reverse or use the emergency brake. What grass height do you recommend using? Also, I'm thinking of buying the snow blade. Do you know anything about it? I live in the Minneapolis area. Thanks again!

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Good luck with the new machine and you will definitely need to be a little less hard on the newer machines because as we all know “ there not built like they used to be”. I do not recommend putting a blade on the front. The machines are not built as tough as they were.

[@sharonhendrixson9981]

[@JennRVA804]

My husqvarna acts like it wants to turn in then after a few times trying the motor won’t even turn. Could that be my battery?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Yes, it can be the battery, especially if the machine has been sitting for a while. Remember, acid filled batteries will discharge as they sit, when not in use, First check your oil level to make sure it isn't over filled. If it is over filled by a lot, then smell the oil and if it smells like fuel and it is way over filled, you have a carburetor issue and I would not run the machine. (take it to someone that can repair it) If the oil level is good and If you have a battery charger? charge the battery. If you do not then I would suggest to purchase one. It it always a good Idea to try and charge the battery before replacing it. Most of the time when a battery sits for a long time it just needs to be charged.

[@michaelpace64]

Can you help me with mine It just died while cutting and I have no electric power brought a new battery still no electric

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Here are a few basic checks. Check to make sure you did not run out of fuel. Check your oil to make sure the engine did not seize. Turn engine by hand to make sure it still turns. Check to make sure your power takeoff lever or switch in the off position. Check to make sure the one fuse that is on that machine is not blown. Make sure the brake is in the down position when you crank the engine.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Is the machine new to you? Check to make sure the rod in the back is all the way pushed in? Check to make sure your transmission belt is running around all pulleys? Have you removed a rear tire lately and re-installed it? sometimes the square key falls out in between the rim and axle shaft.

What causes battery to die

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Many things can make a battery die. The age of the battery? The older battery the less chance it has to stay good unless it’s being used. How long has the battery been sitting without use? Batteries will slowly discharged as they sit. I recommend slow charging the battery once a month in a winter time when not use and with long-term storage always charge your battery once every couple months to keep the battery from dying. You also may have a problem with the charging system on your machine. That would need a volt meter to check the charging system. A battery will die sooner than not. A low cold cranking battery such as 230 or less in my opinion is not a very good battery. I always suggest purchasing a 300 cold cranking amp battery or higher when purchasing a battery. You get what you pay for buying a battery. Leaving the ignition key on with many machines. You now have an electronic fuel shut off solenoid that is activated when the key is in the on position. Your battery will very quickly die. Also, you cannot keep charging batteries over and over as they will not come back after a few charges. So if you’re running with a week or an old battery, you may have more issues than not.
