I haved owned a Star Cylinder 17" Mower for several years. Every year I have to take it to the shop because it loses it's ability for self propulsion and pushing this heavy thing is not an option I'm afraid. It has also started mowing the grass unevenly. I'm definitely not a mechanic, but can tinker with the tools a little bit. Does anyone have any advice or tips to help on this subject?
