										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the last couple years I have been using a junky John Deere L100 lawn mower to mow my yard. The mower has never really been a good one even when I first bought the thing. It would smoke and leak all sorts of oil.</p>



<p>Well, I tried to replace the head gasket on my junk John Deere mower. I did finally get it replaced, got the head torqued back down but the mower still doesn&#8217;t run properly. </p>



<p>Out of frustration I decided to give up on working on the mower out and brought the mower repair shop for them to figure it out. The repair shop thought it was a bad or broken camshaft so I decided to scrap the mower.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Mower</h2>



<p>I bought a brand new Gravely zero turn mower to replace the broken down John Deere once I determined that I didn&#8217;t want to spend more money trying to repair that thing. </p>



<p>To be honest, I&#8217;ve been wanting to buy a new zero turn mower for quite some time anyways! In the end it all worked out.</p>
