Lawn mower for RickN.

[dlbleak]

Side chute is on (temp), tires are aired, tank is full, sticker in place (photo to come) Small test run and mow complete. Will mow rest of front yard this evening when it cools a bit and back yard in the morning.

They had to air one of those tires up. If it’s not holding air, let me know. I’ll come by and do whatever it needs to stay aired up.

The left rear was flat. I will keep an eye on it and let you know. Luckily I have a small compressor.

That’s the one. I’ll get with you about coming by next week and fixing it.

I can take it off and get it fixed. You guys have done more than enough.

Mowed the front yard and mower makes a nice cut. Had to air that tire again. Not sure if a bad tire, wheel or it is just not seated right.

I bet the tire is bad. I bought a new tire for my lawn mower and it leaked through the tread.
Spray some dish soap water on it.

I'll bet @CHenry is already on it, and @dlbleak is working on plan 'B', which is headed to Lowes with a wrench to pull one off another mower. I have every confidence that it'll be made right, one way or another.

Definitely spray the tire, rim, and Schrader valve with a heavy soap solution.
If nothing shows up immediately like bubbles, wait a few minutes. Thats when a bead leak or a bad rim will show up.
We live in goat head country. None of our mowers or ATV's will keep air unless we install slime in the tires. Fixes bead, rim and bad tire leaks.

No Rick this pisses me off. We paid for a working machine, and it should not have any issues. This is beyond stupid.
