I plan to replace the battery anyway since it is at least 9 years old, and since the dealer told me people are lucky to get 5 years out of them. Also, I did draw some fluid out and I didn't really fill the tool but the little needle didn't move at all, basically showing major charging needed. I didn't use this mower since probably September, and I thought it was very strange that it charged in probably 15 minutes when I first hooked it up a week ago. Last year it took several hours to charge when I first started using it in the spring. When I tried to jump start it a few hours ago, my wife sat in the seat and left the key on. Probably not even a half hour later when I tried a different charging tool it read that the battery had very low voltage. I checked it with my meter and it was less than 1 volt. Is that possible with a battery in good shape? I don't know. I turned the key off and the voltage went up to 12 in no time.
I wonder about the starter, I did tap on it awhile ago and that did not help. When I think about how the starter on my F150 probably had to start that truck 10,000 times at least in 15 years of use before I finally replaced it, well it seems to me that starter on this mower should be good for more than a few hundred that it has had to do the job.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
