We bought it used a few years ago after I became completely frustrated with the old Ariens we had which didn't have enough power and plugged up all time.

When ...Your post today brought back great memories. When we lived on our hobby farm we had the same looking model JD. I experienced the exact same problems you are are having. It made me chuckle as I so remember taking off those big bags CRAMMED full of grass and sticking my hands in and under that tractor to clean out grass that was all plugged up inside. Do you kinda mumble under your breath at that thing once in a while:)? Starter problems, jumping up and down on the seat and the battery light always on. Oh ya, and we had a rip in the yellow seat and due to it being brittle with age when I wore shorts it kinda pinched the back side of my leg. A little towel solved that problem. Well... I didn't get a new one as we moved and now on a little lot we have one of those handy little hand pushed kind. We love it. Don't recommend it for your acres of lawn:) Have fun trying out a new ride. Kathy<BR/>PS My daughter, grandkids and I went to Lellow today. So fun! Shopping for 2 new grandbabies. We watched a movie being set up and filmed on the corner.

That was my job as a kid and while we didn't have a large yard, when you're a teenage girl the last thing you want to be seen doing is pushing a lawnmower around the yard! LOL! I can't get the image of you jumping up and down on the seat of your mower out of my head! Too funny...but if it works, what the heck! I believe it's time for you to get a new mower sweetie! Going through that process each time you mow that huge yard would just be too much!
