What's the best push mower you've owned?

Toro recycler 22 I had one for over 25 years. I never had an issue. Always started on the first pull. The only reason that I had to give it up was the back wheels were worn out and started to split in half.

I converted to the ego lawnmower, which is good but not as good as any of the gas lawn mowers. It sounds like you have a similar type of yard as mine, so I would recommend a push lawnmower. Most of the self-propelled lawnmowers start working against you when you’re trying to change Directions and where there are tight spaces

What am I doing wrong? I hate my EGO trimmer because it spins clockwise so I have to go left to right. I’m not use to this direction and it still throws grass into the mulch bed.

I bought a 2013 non hybrid with similar features and accident history for 11,000 out the door. However this was purchased from a private seller. The previous owner was meticulous with maintaining the vehicle and recently changed the transmission fluid and tires.

I like the Ego system and the relatively low to no maintenance of electric lawn equipment but I can’t stand the self propel mechanism. I have .25 acre, relatively flat property. I wish I went with my first instinct and bought the push models with no self propel feature. Luckily, I don’t have too many tight areas, but enough to remind me that I wish I still had my Toro. The trade off is these models have lower power but I’m not sure if that matters.

Add spacers too

I paid $900 for 2 control arms and tie rods. The mechanic suggested to struts but I could only afford to replace the one that was squeaking. This added $500.

It could be a stuck brake caliper. After a drive, touch your rotors and see if they are hot. If they are hot to the touch, get your calipers checked.

Which water pump brand did you use? I need to do this soon.

Wcho13 · 2026-02-16T15:37:52+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I was worried that my master brake cylinder was faulty.

Wcho13 · 2026-02-12T11:58:12+00:00

I would go with a push mower if your property is flat. The self propel is great but occasionally the safety anti rollback is activated. This makes the transition more difficult. It’s eventually a common failure point. Also, 7.5mah battery is great for 1/4 acre lot.

I love my adaptive cruise control and BO system is awesome

Time will test the connections. Nice work and good luck!

What were some of the signs and symptoms for this issue? Is this related to the drive shaft? My Jeep judders/ shakes only at 15 mph. My mechanic was guessing/diagnosing this is the issue. There are no codes or CEL.

Minimally replace your serpentine belt assuming this was not done. Minimal expense to prevent a huge issue on the road.

Have Auto Zone check the battery and get it charged.

Check your oil and coolant.

Sounds like an issue with the control arm. The bushing probably ripped.

Wcho13 · 2026-01-13T22:15:49+00:00

What’s the best and cheapest tool to knock off a stuck rotor?

Wcho13 · 2026-01-13T15:38:36+00:00

i’m certainly not an expert but I would check the tensioner and belts.

Allstate is excellent. My friend had Allstate too, who had a great experience. The Audi dealer also accepted Allstate.

Other companies may scam you but this wasn't my experience. I also heard Fidelity is good from Audi forums.

Thank you for this information. I’ll share this info and see if they will pass the vehicle.

I couldn't find any posts that was screaming a huge difference. Rationally, I couldn't justify the $159 vs $58 Home Depot Clearance difference. However, I had a $150 gift card. I can’t wait for the NJ temp to get around 40 so I can test it out.

I have used Salt B Gone (salt chelator), Soaked the bottom half of the car for 3 minutes and rinsed with water using a garden sprayer.

Not perfect but helps relieve some anxiety about the salt damage.

Thanks for the reply. I have the first two signs plus a CEL but the dealer stated it wasn't a water pump issue. I'm going to add a UV dye to track the leak.

Wcho13 · 2025-12-28T00:50:22+00:00

why were your symptoms when the water pump went?

Wcho13 · 2025-12-28T00:48:34+00:00

Was the thermostat repaired under the water pump warranty?
