Accessories

The rear discharge kit was the only accessory mentioned.

Price & Delivery

The MTD Gold High Wheel Push Mower model 549Q can be purchased at a number of dealers around the country. We did not see a price on the company’s website for this push lawnmower.

Maintenance

Consumers who take good care of the MTD Gold High Wheel Push Mower model 549Q will have a lawnmower that lasts for many years. Subsequently, after every grass cutting, clean off the deck of the lawnmower. This prevents the buildup of wet grass that is acidic. It can over time eat away at the deck of the lawnmower. The build-up of grass near the exhaust can also ignite a fire or at least cause a lot of smoke to be generated. If you do not think this can happen, the writer can attest that it actually happened on his lawnmower.

Also, before starting the MTD Gold High Wheel Push Mower model 549Q each time, check it over to confirm there are no loose parts. Also that there is sufficient oil in the engine and sufficient gasoline in the tank to cut your lawn. As a general rule, you should not fill a gasoline tank while the engine is hot.

Change the oil based on the recommendations of the manufacturer, however, it should be changed at least once per season as a minimum and more often if you are a heavy user and have a lot of lawn to cut.

Gold High Wheel Push Mower – Safety & Operation

A few comments about the safety and operation of the MTD Gold High Wheel Push Mower model 549Q are needed. Whenever you are working on the lawnmower always shut the engine off. Never try to clear grass from the housing while the engine is running. The same goes for oil changes and changing the grass catcher. But many people will circumvent what is known as the dead man’s switch i.e. when you release the bar, the engine stops. However, some people will wire these closed so that the engine remains running even if your hands are not on the push handle. As a result, we strongly recommend against this approach. Never allow the engine to run while you are doing anything other than cutting grass.

Sometimes sharp objects could exit out of the opening at the back while the grass catcher bag is removed or out of the side discharge if you are using that option. Sharp objects can damage and hurt anything in their way.  Just turn off the machine before doing any maintenance.

Keep the housing free of debris to avoid the acid from the grass causing the housing to deteriorate. Also, keep grass from building up around the muffler to avoid the possibility of fire. Check the spark plug to ensure that it is not corroded and dirty. Replace if it is pitted. Always use clean fresh gasoline for your lawn mower. Following these tips and others in the manual will ensure that your lawn mower will last for many years.

They provide parts and repairs across North America and there is usually a John Deere dealer not far from many businesses and homes across the country. In addition many 3rd party dealers also carry John Deere residential products for sale to urban customers. These include lawn mowers, garden tractors and much more from places like Lowes and other major stores. They are a very popular line of equipment and many consumers as well as businesses use their products!

John Deere provides a full product line of equipment including lawn mowers, riding mowers, attachments, utility tractors, zero turn mowers, utility vehicles, walk behind mowers, self propelled mowers, trimmers, blowers, saws as well as home work shop equipment. Just about everything you need for maintaining your landscaping can be found in John Deere’s product line of lawn equipment.

John Deere Lawn Mowers – Support & Recalls

John Deere lawn mowers are well supported with excellent parts availability across the country as well. You can check their website for their products, sales events and even specials that they have available from time to time. Their site will also assist you in finding the right product for your landscaping requirements.

Safety recalls for their products, including John Deere lawn mowers can also be found on the John Deere web site as well. Don’t forget to read about some of the safety considerations that everyone should be aware of when operating lawn equipment regardless of whether it is a John Deere lawn mower or someone else’s lawn mower.

We also are reviewing a number of John Deere lawn mowers on this site. For example the John Deere JS46 lawn mower was recently reviewed on our blog as was the John Deere JS36. This entire blog is aimed at providing information about lawn mowers and lawn management to our readers so that we can all enjoy a beautiful lawn and be the envy of the neighbors.

Four Step Process

A quick comment about looking after your lawn. There is a four step process to ensuring your lawn looks great all year round. Here are the steps that everyone can easily follow:

  • Fertilize 4 times a year
  • Mow your lawn whenever it has grown a half inch to one inch
  • Keep your lawn clear of weeds and other debris such as leaves
  • Water your lawn with one inch of water once a week

The above may need to be varied depending on the climate you live in. For example anyone living in the desert who wants a green lawn is going to have to water their lawn every day. In particularly dry climates even twice a day to avoid the lawn becoming dried out. The hot sun will burn the lawn within a couple of hours if the earth is not kept moist with  lots of water to feed the roots. In addition specific grasses can only be grown in hot climates vs. climates that are cooler and receive more rain. Talk to your lawn care specialist from your lawn care company. They can provide local information about the proper grass seed and the fertilizer. Apply lots of water to ensure you have a healthy looking lawn all year around.

Any comments are also welcome on our blog as long as readers will find them informative and helpful. On specific lawn mowers we have seen very positive comments as well as negative comments about certain types of lawn mowers. Many people do not take the proper care of their lawn mowers and run into problems as a result. Spam comments will be deleted.

Yard Machines 139 CC 22inch Self Propelled

September 7th, 2010 ernie Posted in 22 Inch Cut, Front Self Powered, Yard Machines 5 Comments »

I just followed my own advice from the last post and managed to purchase a new lawnmower at a considerable discount at Lowes. Unfortunately, there are no more Yard Machines 139 CC  22inch Self Propelled left at the store I went to but you never know if there will be others. There were about 5 lawnmowers left when i bought mine.

The curious thing is that I cannot find it on any website, even the manufacturers. It is very similar to the Model 44M9 on the Yard Machines website, however, it differs in three major areas. Yard Machines 139 CC 22inch Self PropelledFirst, it is a 22-inch wide lawnmower and secondly, it does not have a rear bag attachment for catching the grass. You can either use this lawnmower as a mulcher or a side discharge, which is fine with me.

The last major difference that we could see is that it has an old fashion choke instead of an auto choke. The picture on the left is exactly the same as mine, without the grass catcher on the back.  It works fine, you just have to remember to open the choke when you start it cold and close the choke once it is running. The choke is located on the push bar handle within easy reach.

This is a really great lawnmower. I have cut the lawn several times and really enjoy the self-propelled feature and also not having to bag the grass! Here are the specs for the machine we purchased.

Yard Machines 139 CC 22inch Self Propelled – Specifications:

  • 139cc MTD PowerMore™ OHV engine
  • AutoChoke – no priming. Just pull and start.
  • Overhead valve engines run more efficiently and produce fewer emissions than the standard L-Head engines.
  • 22″ deck
  • 9 position individual wheel height adjustment
  • 8″ wheels

Engine: The engine is a 139cc MTD PowerMore™ OHV engine

Propulsion: This is a Front-wheel drive self-propelled machine

Warranty: This lawn mower comes with a 2-year limited warranty.

Features:

  • 22″ deck
  • Front-wheel drive self-propelled
  • Mulch or side discharge
  • Durable automotive style powder coated paint
  • Bottle of oil included

Description of the Yardman 139 CC 22inch self Propelled Lawn Mower

We are very satisfied with this lawnmower. It starts the first time every time. It is easy to steer and control with the self-propelled feature and it mulches the grass very well. I usually keep the self-propelled feature engaged and just lift the front wheels a bit if I need to slow down or turn a corner. This lawnmower is 22 inches wide, which is 2 inches wider than my old lawn mower and I do not have to bag the grass either. I save a lot of time as a result and I am saving on the cost of paper bags which we fill each week and put out to the curb. Saves me money and saves the city the cost of having to pick up my grass clippings!

All I had to do was add the oil to the engine from the bottle of oil that was included with the lawnmower, fill the gas tank with regular gasoline and start it. I have checked the oil level a few times since and it is still at the right level and clear as to when I first put it in.

Delivery: Most lawn mowers can be picked up in the store, however, if you do not have the means to take it home yourself, delivery usually can be arranged for a delivery charge. You may want to consider borrowing a trailer or a van to bring home your lawn mower and avoid the delivery charge.

I was able to just get the box into my trunk with the trunk lid left open. Fortunately, I did not have too far to go to get home.

Safety & Operation

All lawn mowers should be treated with respect. They are powerful machines and in the wrong hands can do a lot of damage. Start by reading the manual and following all of the safety guidelines outlined in the manual. Never work on the lawnmower without first ensuring that the engine is turned off.

While cutting the lawn and using the side discharge, never allow anyone to stand beside the discharge or point the discharge at something that could be damaged by high-speed flying objects ejected from the lawnmower.

Always check the engine to make sure that there is sufficient oil in the engine before starting each day. Top up if necessary.  Fill the fuel tank while the engine is cool. A good time to do this is before you start cutting the lawn. Spilled fuel can sometimes cause fires. If you do spill any fuel, wait until it evaporates prior to starting the engine to avoid any chance of fire. Always fill the fuel tank outdoors.

Shut the engine off before removing the rear bag to empty it of grass or making any other kind of adjustments to the lawnmower.

Yard Machines 139 CC Maintenance:

The maintenance of the lawnmower is pretty straightforward. Read the guidelines in the manual and follow them.  Arrange to have your engine tuned up once a year and the oil changed at the same time. This applies to most consumer applications where you are cutting your lawn once a week. If you are using the lawnmower for commercial applications you may need to change the oil more often.

Keep the housing free of debris to avoid the acid from the grass causing the housing to deteriorate. Also, keep grass from building up around the muffler to avoid the possibility of fire. Check the spark plug to ensure that it is not corroded and dirty. Replace if it is pitted. Always use clean fresh gasoline for your lawnmower. Following these tips and others in the manual will ensure that your lawnmower will last for many years.
