......love the white wheels........!!


A man and his lawn mower (with white wheels),....it's a beautiful thing....


Summer (OP),

The Craftsman model 38845 (in the photo):
regular price $270
on sale today $220
with 10% coupon $198

It has the READY START feature,.....no priming/no choking, just pull and it starts on second pull. It also has the MRS feature (most reliable starting system). And, the engine is a high-torque 190cc model, even Johnson grass doesn't bog it down.

Color is VERY important. For example; earlier today I picked up my new mower, the one which I had a change-of-mind with because of color. I brought it home, unboxed it, and guess what? It has WHITE wheels instead of the grey. MY new choice was supposed to have grey wheels to go with the grey bag and black mower deck. I hate white wheels! Now I have to decide whether to take it back or not. I'm tired of messing with this. Here's a photo of it:

Here's my wife's 3-blade/3-bin rider. Actually, our yard is not big enough for this unit,....I use it to help out with the mowing over at the church.



Oh my eyes...my eyes...the white wheels would definately have to go

Now your wife there looks like she's got a real nice ride....but I think she needs a cup holder.

Okay I have to laugh a little....'cause the mover I want replaced is a Craftsman...but in all fairness it is over 10 years old...

The good news is that no longer will the lawn mower be attempted to be started when it's just me at home....Scottie and Austin can make themselves miserable over the starting of the lawn mover....

Me...I get to stay in the cool house and watch Judge Judy

I get it,...you ain't never going to mow.
But, from my perspective, there's an up side,.....it's a labor of love that can be conveniently worked into my TV schedule (the Speed Channel). It also makes women beg................................., they come and beg me to mow their lawn

I have an old-style push mower still in the box that I could send you for the right price. Then you'd have one and the argument would be over who is going to put it together......lol
