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.

Thank you for contacting the Answer ARMY.
This product is built specifically for Sears. Sears handles all support.
The mower is not designed to mow in wet or damp connections, this could be part of the concern you voice.
