I plan to replace the battery anyway since it is at least 9 years old, and since the dealer told me people are lucky to get 5 years out of them. Also, I did draw some fluid out and I didn't really fill the tool but the little needle didn't move at all, basically showing major charging needed. I didn't use this mower since probably September, and I thought it was very strange that it charged in probably 15 minutes when I first hooked it up a week ago. Last year it took several hours to charge when I first started using it in the spring. When I tried to jump start it a few hours ago, my wife sat in the seat and left the key on. Probably not even a half hour later when I tried a different charging tool it read that the battery had very low voltage. I checked it with my meter and it was less than 1 volt. Is that possible with a battery in good shape? I don't know. I turned the key off and the voltage went up to 12 in no time.
I wonder about the starter, I did tap on it awhile ago and that did not help. When I think about how the starter on my F150 probably had to start that truck 10,000 times at least in 15 years of use before I finally replaced it, well it seems to me that starter on this mower should be good for more than a few hundred that it has had to do the job.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
