I think the cutting height on some models can go to 2-2-1/2", but on the model I purchased from Sears it only go up to 1-3/16 max. with front wheel max. setting, and 1-1/2 max. if you also change rear wheel setting. I know you can slow power propel...

The Engine Speed is what it is. You can turn down the throttle would maybe slow it down some. You should have a A&B settings for cut height. I know they will go up to 21/4 to 21/2 inches.

The blade is 1.5mm or 3/32" off the wheel's surface.... definitely just under an 1/8" inch. It might cut slightly thicker if the material being cut is pushed hard against the surface?

Yes, this is a structural problem with this model. I have the same issue. In my situation I prefer the leave the setting higher since I mulch with it and it certainly saves battery life. I used four hefty screws(or bolts if you want to drill the holes) and placed two on either side of the height adjuster lever and thereby "locked" it into my preferred height level. Ive use the mower for several months since and it has performed without issue. Yes I wish B&D; would address this issue but I like every other aspect of the mower so Im not going to hold my breath for a factory fix.

The actual dimensions are a little less than what is posted on the site. I measured ours at: 25"W x 73"L x 65"H The front frame of the machine is the widest point at 25". The back wheel area actually measures narrower than that at around 20"W. The handles are the highest points at 65"H. Also, the power cord plugs into the bottom back area of the back wheelhouse - - - something to consider when planning on where to situate the machine in relation to an outlet. There are wheels on the back of the machine so theoretically, it can be moved by lifting the front frame and wheeling it like a wheelbarrow. This came in handy when initially placing it, but it is very heavy and I can't imagine doing this on a daily basis.

With the shims you can go down to a small wheel 3/4" thick . I have mine on a Cub Cadet which has an 1.25" thick wheel where I have it mounted, with no shims

I would limit the pieces to no shorter than 4 inches - anything shorter could risk catching in the blade assembly and causing damage and possible injury by itself. You could probably go shorter if you follow a short piece with longer piece that can be accessed from both sides to ensure the shorter piece is fully fed through the planer.

I trimmed mine to 34 inches and it works great. I would not think another two inches would make a difference. As to how much can be trimmed, I'm not sure, but some of the center rod would be needed to work properly.

The blade is only two positions, up or down. There are two height adjusters on either side of the blade that I used to set it up an 1" so that it would slide over a crack in my driveway. I think you could set the skids to allow 2"?

Bigger is always better if you have the power to drive it and a head assembly that is sturdy enough. I have a Craftsman "Medium Duty" unit and it took some slight modification to get a 9" blade to fit. After a few days use it became necessary to switch to larger attachment screws to keep the head stationary on the shaft. These blades are ten times better than the POS that came with the unit from Sears.

It will either drop the bike 1.5" or 2", depending on the springs you use. It can do either. I went to a 21" front wheel and needed a drop of 1.5". Worked perfect for me.

I have an 05 and I put the 2.5 on it. And it leveled the truck out. And if your looking to put bigger tires on. I was able to put 285/70R17's without any trimming

My first response I mistakenly referred to my older daughters bike. My four ft tall daughter who rides this one has it at lowest..about 25.5 in from ground..ample room..but she won't let me raise it. A piece that fits in between the wheel which gives wheel clearence to move freely seems defective..that wheel sometimes gets stuck dragging. It was hard to assemble. We also positioned/rotated handlebars to the back..it comes pre set forward and its an easy adjustment.

What you have to understand is that the smaller the blade the faster the RPM's are. Look at the specs for your machine and follow what is recommended. If you don't have the manual for the machine I would go in the middle with the 9". Other thing is the thickness you can cut. Larger blade will cut a thicker tree or brush.

I bought my Lucite Cane and of course it was too tall for me also. I had my son-in-law cut it down with his high powered electric saw... It worked extremely well. Make sure to mark exactly where you want it cut and it can be done. Then put the tip on and you're ready to go. I love my cane and use it all the time especially when I "get dressed up"... I wish you the best.

I think those cutting heights are pretty much standard for push mowers. Any higher and you would probably have to cut every other day to make a lawn look "neat". I use the maximum (2.75) and the growth of my lawn is certainly a lot healthier than I would like :)

Depends on what you are asking about. The cross slide that the tool post is mounted to travels beyond any practical use for machining. From the "standard" chuck face, which of course you cannot machine all the way up to, to the tail stock is in the 21-22 inch range. Practical use of 20" is a pretty good number. Maybe slightly more. If you need 2 ft get a different lathe. If you are asking about the tail stock, it can be moved anywhere on the bed and locked down and it will travel roughly 2 1/4 inches. I think they actually list some absurdly short travel for that.
