8/5/2024 Hot As H×ll But Still Needed To Mow...

Looking out at my several acres of green lawn is one of life's simple pleasures.

But cutting all that grass is not.

A lawn tractor that I can depend on to get the job done right is the key.

Years back I had bought a small John Deere L100 Loved mowing with it for over twenty years.

It ran great until it didn't.

The thing did not start.

I tried buying a new starter, solenoid and key starter switch but nothing still worked.

I could cross start it with a screwdriver but it would run rough for approximately 1/2 hour then began to run fine. Air cleaner and engine cleaner no difference.

So for a few season just ran it and tried to get the most out of it.

Then I went out to mow one day and tried to started with jump from solenoid as usual. Started rough running, speed up & slow down, then died and would not start another lick.

So a trip around town looking at all mowers still in stock was nerve wracking.

Finally decided to buy the John Deere S120 42 in. 22 HP V-Twin Gas Hydrostatic Lawn Tractor at my local orange big box store.

It included features like:

John Deere's easy change 30-second oil change system under the hood, an all-in-1 oil and oil filter canister, allowing anyone to easily change the oil with no tools required. A 15 in. high-back seat that easily adjustable, with 10 possible positions, adjustments can even be made while seated for the perfect fit. A powerful (300 cca) battery that starts even after lengthy storage. A cruise control that maintains tractor speed for mowing my large lawn area.

Also they offered $100. Off and 0% financing for 18 months for a brand new still crated boxed unit.

Can't beat using their money for that duration while I drew interest on mine.

The JD rep inspected it and prep it for pickup.

That was as good deal for me with a yard of about 3 actual acres out of 10 that I keep mowed.

So far I'm going strong and loving it.

However, this heat is another story but the job is done today!

Now it's time for a cold drink and relaxing in the recliner!
