Even though I have already mowed several times this year, the ZG125s needed some attention.

So it got a new battery, deck stopper control link, and brake switch. The 2019 battery died and the other two items were erratic. .

I agree get all grass cutting equipment ready, the season is upon us. Sometimes after a rain I think I can hear the grass growing!

Did you keep a maintenance charger on the 2019 battery over the Winter?
I have found that even those cheap lawn & garden batteries have a much better lifespan with a maintenance charger.

A dirty machine is a happy machine. Or mine gets washed when I mow in the rain.

Actually the mower is used almost as much during the winter mulching leaves, etc. so the 2019 battery thing was sorta expected.

The wife got stuck and a grandson had to come and push her out. Then because of the battery it would not start so the mud did not get washed off. It got washed this morning.

I checked this bad boy out this morning but No, I ain't buying.
