I started it with two fully charged batteries. It started fine and started flashing yellow and quit. The connections look clean with no obvious problems. It ran for several minutes one time, but mostly just seconds.

Mantis Tiller SV5C2 2014: Drive shaft is stuck

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 22:26:14 -0700

I cannot get the tiller tine drive shaft loose. All the videos I've found show pristine Mantises, and the shaft is easily undone. I'm working on its left-hand side (as I face it with the handlebars in my hands), and use the appropriate 'leftie-loosie' thing (AKA: Counter-clockwise) as shone in all of the videos. But the darn thing just will not unwind. Any help?

When I go to polestar it, it’s slipping off. It’s like something’s either worn out in that casing or something not grabbing just like holding onto a loose rope.

Toro Walk-Behind Lawn Mower: White smoke and spitting oil?

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 19:13:33 -0700

I shouldn't be allowed to operate power tools anymore, but whatever... I was mowing my yard when I hit a piece of hidden wood. A piece of wood jammed against the side of the lawnmower and the blade, which required me to flip it on its side and dislodge the chunk of wood. After I removed the wood, I put the mower back into its right position and took a break (It's hot out..). After my 45-minute break, I went to start it to finish cutting and it was belching out white smoke, and leaking and spitting oil out of the muffler. My father and I took a look at it finding nothing, but I took off the air filter cover and there was also an oily residue in there, more than normal. What could be wrong with it?

P.S: Comment if you want pictures.
