Baseball cleats ... great idea. I have one spot in my yard with a fairly steep grade

I wouldn't wish this Honda heap on anyone, not even my worst enemy. It's going straight to the scrap heap.

I gave the lawn mower that I used before I purchased this Honda to my son. That mower, a Lawn Chief if I remember correctly, was purchased new by me in 1981, always gets washed after each mowing, and is still running and operating great to this day (39 years!). Unless we are relegated to...

They definitely do not build them like they used to. When I purchased this Honda, I gave my son my old Lawn Chief? (I think that was the brand). I bought the Lawn Chief new in 1981 and it is still running and operating great for my son to this day.

Thanks for the response. As I indicated in my original post, I have hauled this mower to the authorized dealer so often, we are literally on first name basis. On occasion the dealer replaced a part or two at no charge (most likely out of sympathy for me or to maintain any kind of reputation)...

What cracker-jack engineer designed the piece-of-crap self-propelled mechanics on the Honda HRR2169VYA self-propelled mower? It worked flawlessly and marvelously the first few years, but since then, I wouldn’t recommend a Honda lawn mower to my worst enemy. I literally cannot even make it 4...
