Mine is a Honda mower (with a Honda Engine of course) and it is very quiet and has less vibration than any other mower I've ever used. It is very possible that the motor is not the source of the vibration. An unbalanced blade will vibrate like hell. Take your blades off and sharpen and balance them or take them to a mower service place that can do it for you. The first time I took it back to Sears for the excessive vibration problem, they supposedly replaced the blade. That made it even worse. It's unclear to me if they really did anything the second time I took it back. The repair order says that they *balanced* the blade. The vibration remained unchanged. Most folks are speculating that the real problem is a bent or otherwise defective crankshaft, or possibly a bearing problem, but I suppose it is possible that their blade balancing efforts were faulty. I am planning to take it back to a different Sears store this weekend. Jake |
