Older push mower J563C john deere self propelled. What is the correct oil gas mixture.

Newer ones are 50:1 not sure about older one. 10 - 15 years old maybe. S# GXIS63S021065

Never saw a push mower that used mixed gas.

The old Lawn Boys used to be 2 strokes. I think they may have run a little richer than that. 32:1 maybe, they did smoke a bit.
I think John Deere used Lawn Boy engines for a while.

My son has a couple of those, and they are beast's , incredible mowers. He mixes at 50 to 1 on his, and they run much better on the pre-mix that you buy in the cans. It is more expensive, but his mowers seem to run better on it. They always start on the first pull after sitting for 6 months up here with that gas in them.

Not only am I stupid but going blind. When I think a thought (wonder what kind of mix this mower will take) it is next to impossible to remove it out of my head. Went out this morning to look at the mower and during the night some one had added another cap on top of the mower that says oil with a dip stick attached.

Sure glad this humble pie is lemon flavored....

Don't feel bad Kent. A buddy of mine does small engine repair and has just about seen it all. One guy brought in two push mowers and a weed eater saying they wouldn't start. Yup, you guessed it. All three where out of gas!
