Only 15 years? You must not be taking good care of them.
I wish my lawn mowers would die at 15 years.
I can’t kill them. One had a Robins engine with an oil filter made by John deer.
I think it’s at least 20 years old. I firmly agree changing lawn mower oil once a year is good. But I’d abuse it and let it go 2-3 years. Still no smoke.
I finally left it with the house I sold. Magnesium frame was starting to breakdown.
Another Honda I had was 20 years old.
Needed new wheels and bearings and I didn’t feel like doing it a 2nd
time so gave it to a coworker 5 years ago. He did the wheels and still running great. And my lawn took 3 hours to do. So it got a work out. His lawn is as big.
I finally switched to a riding lawnmower. Now I can do lawn in 45 min.
My rototiller I think is 30 years old.
No change oil on lawnmower, Where did you buy it, Walmart?
Curious who makes it.
