Yard Machine C762F Riding Lawn Mower
Paul | Dec 07, 2010 | Comments 0
This Yard Machine C762F Riding Lawn Mower is one of the smaller riding lawn machines in terms of engine size and deck width for lawn cutting. However it still seems to have many of the same features that large machines have and hopefully a smaller price tag as well. The warranty is only 2 years which is much less than some other riding lawn mowers.
The engine is a 13.5 horse power Briggs and Stratton engine, with a single cylinder and the cutting deck is only 38 inches wide with 2 blades for cutting instead of 3 on some larger machines. Operators can shift on the go with the six speed transmission using controls located beside the operators seat. With an 18 inch turning radius this riding lawn mower will have no problem navigating around most landscaping, trees and buildings. The tires are made for running on lawns to avoid compression and damage to the lawn.

Check the engine oil level and top up if needed. Fill the fuel tank only when the engine is cool. Filling the fuel tank first thing in the morning is always a good idea. The engine is cool and you will have a full tank for the day to avoid getting stranded.
Wear steel boots with steel toes, eye protection and ear plugs to protect your ears from loud noises.
Maintenance
Clean the deck on top and underneath with a high pressure water hose. Many riding lawn mowers have a deck wash kit installed, however since this one does not, it will be a little tougher to wash the deck under neath. It is important to keep the deck clean to avoid corrosion of the deck over a period of time.
Change the oil on a regular basis to maintain the engine and extend the engine life. Follow the guidelines in the manual with regards to regular maintenance. Most dealers will also provide maintenance services for oil changes and repairs. Of course if you can do some of these repairs yourself on the Yard Machine C762F Riding Lawn Mower it will be much less expensive to run one of these riding lawn mowers.
