Craftsman Professional 21" Walk Behind Caster Mower is a professional mower without the price.  (88776)  Twenty-one inch deck, with caster wheels on the front for easy manueverability.  Some assembly is required but it is very easy.  Very powerful Briggs and Stratton Engine (8.75 Torque), 6 speeds, mulch, bag, electric start, just about everything you need to take care of your lawn with the greatest of ease.  The down fall to this mower is that the wingnuts for the front wheels are made out of plastic, so you may want to replace them with metal ones or just be careful.  This will not impact the ability to cut.  This is a very impressive mower.

I read about the full charge part, and read the thread about using boards and such underneath it. Looks like I will charge it and bring it inside. Thank you.

Page 22 of the Manual hints at cold storage:
Battery
The battery must be stored with a full charge. Extended storage of a
discharged battery will reduce life and capacity of the battery.

Wet cell is a lead acid battery, like the car, tractor and mower. Weakened ones freeze to death, unlike drycells which actually store better when frozen.

I will do that, the manual never stated anything about this. Excuse my ignorance but what exactly is a wet cell battery? Thanks for the good advice.

You may want to bring the battery inside this winter, its a wet cell.
