Thanks Dan I flipped her over and started taking apart & cleaning. I ultimately found too much slop in the self-propelled engagement cable. Once i tightened that, it worked beyond the 15-20 min threshold, so all is good now. Thank you very much, tstex

Ok, really sorry for the long delay... I took the Toro or a spin and it seems that it will self propel for about the first 15-20 mins, then it seems it's more in the push mode. So, it works ok at first, but then starts to decline on the self-propel mode. About 15-20 min's into cutting, I can...

Thanks old.

Hello to all, A friend gave me a 2021 Toro 21" "self-propelled" lawn mower. Filled her w gas and she started immediately. The self propelled feature worked fine at first, meaning pull the handle back and it would go. Gradually, the self-propelled feature became less operable. I would pull...

Anyone have a PrimeWeld welder, esp the PrimeWeld 180? How do you like it and how long have you had it?

Hey Guys, My brother has a Lincoln 140 Pro Mig Welder he's had for 1.5 yrs and wants $550 drive out. Comes w everything that was in the original box. It has the flux-core option so I'm not tied to only using gases. Can weld up up 1/4" materials, so for now, that should do me fine. He wants...

thank you Eddie and Arly. one of my nbors in the country has a NG relay station welding fabrication business.. I will learn from him. I just today thought of getting my own welder, but wanted to seek your thoughts first. I'll ask my nbor too. Arly, cannot read that make and model? Can you...
