    General Product Question last edited February 10, 2012 by Carlsen Robert 
    Question:
    I bought the lawn mower 917.379130 from Sears recently. The pluses are several: single adjust for height, variable speed, good suction, fills bag - can cut taller and wet grass than my old Toro.
    Minuses: rear wheel drive seems to spin wheels more than propel. Don't know if that's a problem because I have to cut wet grass now or because the wheels don't have any tread to push with. Rear wheels aren't easy to unlock from drive - push it forward several times with no hands on drive without much success. Not obvious how I prime motor if it needs it.

    Overall pleased with mower though the spinning wheels do bug me.
