    I’m a Michigan flatlander, a nice rear self propelled mower would be the ticket for you. It’s nice that your buildings sit above grade and slope away. Pain in the ass to mow, but keeps the buildings dry :thumbsup: Mower maintenance on hold until tomorrow, I forgot I don’t have a car. The Ford Focus is down, the “ Devil Transmission “ is in need of an exorcism again. I’ll get my tractor parts later today, do the work tomorrow, maybe my wife can help :annoyed::rofl:

    Already have a self propelled walk behind. That’s why I need another one.

    I sharpen my blade in the spring and the fall. I'll need to do that second sharpening soon myself to get ready for leaves. It will be late October/early November before we get a lot of leaf droppage though. So I still have time.

    You talking about the Lexus plugs? I ordered some of those myself a few weeks ago. Obviously way too early to change the front fluid with 4300 miles. But I'm ready when the time comes

    Seems like I no-brainer. You have to remove the OEs anyway. Hope it goes smooth for you. I've seen horror stories

    My blades are shot, should have put new ones on last spring. I don’t want to screw with balancing them, they’re 5 years old.

    Lexus plug is conventional hex vs. Toyota plug that is recessed hex and very easy to strip

    Had my own mini horror with my 2nd Gen. Those hexhead plugs ... WITAGDF were they thinking? Is the cost savings that great over a bolthead? If so, then, and I don't say this often, FU Toyota on that one.

    Hoping no problems with this one ... at least I know what I'm facing and I only got to get 'em out one time. ;)

    On the bright side, the OEM plugs already have the hole for an easy-out :rofl:

    I forgot to ask, what do I look for in a Lexus plug. What year and is it the motor oil drain plug? ​
