But I do have a couple of modification I wish Ariens would consider.If you have hills or any sloping terrain I would not recommend the swivel wheels. The unit wants to move in the direction of the slope. It would be nice if the swivel wheel lock mechanism would lock both wheels. One locked wheel is basically useless. I also need to load this machine onto a pickup and pushing it up a ramp is very tricky because of the swivel wheels.Another issue is the pins that holds the front swivel wheels has fallen out a number of times. I have had to replace both pins (lost them in the grass) because the clasp that hold the pins falls out. I replaced both swivel wheel pins with new ones and replaced the clasp with a coder-pins. Now if I need to adjust my wheel height I have to replace the coder-pin. Makes it harder to adjust the height but now I am not at risk of losing the SW-Pin.Changing the oil is next to imposable without making a mess. The drainage plug is set into the side of the engine disabling the ability to catch the oil when the drainage plug is removed. It would be nice if the unit came with some type of extension tube enabling the owner to change the oil without making a mess. I made an extension tube that I use enabling me to drain the oil out beyond the mower deck. Changing the oil a couple of times got me to think about this modification that should have been part of the design to begin with.Like I said, I would recommend this unit. Over all it’s a great machine. All of the above issues I have been able to work around making it a real nice unit.</span> October 8, 2012<meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2012-10-08" /></div><div id='10338001' itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review"><meta itemprop="itemReviewed" content="Lawn Mower, 21 In.Wide, 4.5HP, Push" /><span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating">Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">1</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span></span> by <span itemprop="author">Robert</span><span itemprop="name"> Parts broke easily and carb replaced then finally had to replace motor</span><span itemprop="description"> The very first day I had our mower, I pulled the cord to start it and the handle from the cord spun around and broke the knob to tighten the handle on the right side.

So, when I retired it, I wanted another commercial grade mower with a Kawasaki motor. I could not find one anywhere locally, but found an Ariens mower that had everything I needed online at Mowersdirect.com. The Ariens Classic LM21SW (21") 6-HP Self-Propelled Lawn Mower w/ Swivel Wheels is powerful, very manuverable around flower beds and simply a pleasure to use. My wife laughed at me when I first used it, because I was smiling from ear to ear and looked liked I was actually having fun cutting the grass.</span> June 22, 2012<meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2012-06-22" /></div><div id='10602275' itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review"><meta itemprop="itemReviewed" content="Lawn Mower, 21 In.Wide, 4.5HP, Push" /><span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating">Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">4</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span></span> by <span itemprop="author">laurie</span><span itemprop="name"> this mower has great features.</span><span itemprop="description"> i would recommend this mower to my friend's.it start's easy and is easy to handle. i am very happy with my new mower.</span> June 20, 2012<meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2012-06-20" /></div><div id='10602250' itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review"><meta itemprop="itemReviewed" content="Lawn Mower, 21 In.Wide, 4.5HP, Push" /><span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating">Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">1</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span></span> by <span itemprop="author">Jackie27</span><span itemprop="name"> poorly designed</span><span itemprop="description"> No primer no choke very difficult to start, pick up the grass in the pulley</span> June 19, 2012<meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2012-06-19" /></div><div id='10602238' itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review"><meta itemprop="itemReviewed" content="Lawn Mower, 21 In.Wide, 4.5HP, Push" /><span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating">Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">4</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span></span> by <span itemprop="author">JoynerKS</span><span itemprop="name"> Starts easy very reliable</span><span itemprop="description"> Mower is easy to use and very reliable.
