I have a little over half an acre lawn and since my back injury the push mower has become a real chore. I plan to purchase new, been looking at John Deere. I'm not going to say price is no object but I only want to make this purchase once. <br />
<br />
Any input would be greatly appreciated.<br />

It's worked flawlessly until yesterday.  I checked on Sears.com, and only the flash tube (and the decal) is available.  Does anyone know how would I check to see if the flash tube is bad, or if the problem is elsewhere?<br />
<br />
I opened the metal (not plastic) case on it, and didn't see anything amiss.  I'll add that the quality of construction was impressive; inside were the handwritten initials (written in English) of the person who assembled it.  Love to fix it if I can.<br />

I do wish I had a cordless drill when I was doing a particular project but that's not often enuogh.  I like to think that I can just grab my drill, plug it in and get full power.   Cords certainly get in the way though.  I think if i had a cordless drill that i would'nt use it enough.   Price is cheaper too.  Thoughts?   ]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 27 Mar 2013 15:50:24 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
