weed eater put oil on air filters that makes it run like crap clean the air filter and it will run fine. all you have to do to assemble it is put the seat, steering wheel and the steering shaft on. it hes a cheep drive system its not a transaxe it will only last afuew years.
Mine's in the shop right now. First I had to get a metal steering wheel welded to the steering shaft because that plastic bushing got stripped. Now the frame is falling apart and they have to change the transmission on it. It's not even two years old yet. The warranty is covering the transmission but this is ridiculous.
Oh the assembly part. It came in a big ass box. The freight guy politely dropped it in the middle of the garage and offered to help cut the carton away from the skid. I differed for a few days. The unpack was a snap. The steering column had to be stuck together and snapped to the column shaft, and the seat bolted on. 20 min to first cut.
per the key ignition. turn to starter and letgo, this 2nd run position is for forward cutting. Dies if u cut backing. 1st pos for cutting in reverse.
For the front tires that inexplicably went flat from rotted tubes at the same time. I ended up buying two wheels with tires at local import tool joint for $4.00 each and stripped the tire and tube from rim to install on weedeater rims. Cost $8.00. They even did the work on their shop machine free. Much better than what the weedeater dealer would charge if they had tire and tube for it. Savings? about $50.00.
This is towards the end of the second season that I have had one of these. It has been a lifesaver. I have a few displeasures with this mower all the same. The steering gear is flimsy. No oil drain plug. If your area is flat you will get an excellent cut. Any dips will definately show. If you have a slope? Very little actuall pulling power. I mow the sloped part along the slope and must lean way over. Tires are cheap and difficult to find. 2x fronts went flat at same time.
Can you please give us an update on this machine? Have you has any troubles with it at all? Seems like this mower gets a lot of bad press, but would like some feedback from a real owner like you
I bought one like this in April 2010. Big waste of money. The steering broke because of the plastic crap stripping out. Had to get a metal steering wheel welded to the shaft. The frame is weak so I'm gonna have to get it welded back together. And now the brakes don't work on it. I definitely won't be buying anything from Weed Eater again. Big waste of money.

Notice he has both BROGANS, rested on the floating deck, the whole time!
A NO NO, impossible NO NO on this delicate floating deck!
Cosmetic Cut is not an issue with him, he's cutting a prairie!
But it would wreck your balance, and likely destroy your mower!
The absence of a Step Up there, makes it extremely difficult for a (6.2, 240 lb, 65 yr old to get ON & OFF! Wedged between the Seat & the Steering Column.
These are absolute crap... the wires from the battery are shot, and I only used the key start like 3 times... and pull starting it is hard as crap because the key has to be in the right place, the brake and seat have to be down, and it has to be in neutral so you don't land on your face... your blade starts up nice though... the one I used shook the whole mower...
@slamansj ah ok new edition ya latest updated model would be more fool proof..
I know sears had a major problem with some stupid plastic part for it's 52inch Tactor lawn mower and they changed it for metal and everything is ok now.. How dumb.
@slamansj How do you know if you have the (NEW) drive system, or the old?
And .can you "Imagine" someone building a Mower, Then advising you after you purchase it" to (NEVER MOW IN REVERSE) as the Weedeater One builders did?
One thing that really was american about a weed eater not mentioned here is all the nuts and bolts are standard not metric. So if you don't have metric tools you will be OK with for a while.
Nice Review ! Hope next time you get nicer mower ! I've read the plastic gears in the steering wheel break and the front wheels go out of direction. 2 year warranty is only good for 90 days as a store return. After that u got to call China or the equivalent. Be nice to see you do a follow up review after the first year with it!. Zero turns are fun like bumper cars. Your little girl would look happier on one then she did on the new junker lol. Look 4 end of season sales b4 it falls apart.
Thanks for the great review. To respond to your last point, these mowers are (indeed) proudly assembled by American workers at our plant in Orangeburg, South Carolina. No gimmicks and definitely not assembled in China.
Also, please don't let your daughter drive the mower while wearing flip flops! Always wear the recommended safety equipment, everyone!
@WeedEaterUSA Well, then why didn't y'all assemble the one I made the mistake of buying last year? After the crappy plastic steering wheel gear stripped, the brakes went out, and the frame collapsed due to poor welding, I realized what a waste of money this thing was.
why are you wearing a mask?

Great review, and I especially liked the TALL weeds demonstrations!
Didn't expect it to do that, because of their advertisements that tell you to take off a little at a time!
They say it is for safety, dry grass, sparks!
And they meant an 8 inch lawn.
I thought it was for lack of power!
Don't tell the people they have to assemble a mower!
You and we" can't assemble a mower!
Setting the steering column, i nut, 1 pin.
Then setting the Seat 1 nut, is "NOT" assembling a Mower". Thanks!

What type of drive does it have? Is it like the friction-disc drive that those old rear engine snappers use?.
guitardavid79 1 year ago
I just bought one of these!
Great little mower for the price!!
You can just press the brake and engage the parking brake on the right footboard
Then you can start it without sitting......
Weedeater brand is made by Husqvarna a very reputable company
The assembly is a little hassle but not much....... I rather to do it myself instead of letting Walmart do it!!
Great vid Thanks for posting!
