The John Deere LESCO WL80B walk behind, self propelled lawn mower is the smallest walk behind mower from LESCO’s current range. The JD LESCO WL80B is powered by a twin cylinder Kawasaki engine that produces 13 hp. The engine model is FH381V. This engine produces it’s maximum power when firing at 3600 rpm. The engine is 0.369 liters in size and interestingly the crankshaft is aligned vertically. The full pressure lubrication system keeps all the working parts continuously oiled so as to prevent any serious wear or tear. The engine is prevented from overheating thanks to an air cooling system.

Power from the engine is transferred to the wheels on the John Deere LESCO WL80B by passing through a Peerless 5 speed gearbox (+1 speed for reversing). This gives the LESCO WL80B a top speed of 8.7 kph (5.4 mph) when driving forwards, while it can reach 4.3 kph (2.7 mph) when it’s reversing. You will find that most ‘push’, walk behind, self-propelled lawn mowers have a long straight handlebar to lean on during operation. However the JD WL80B has 2 pistol grips from which everything is controlled. The rear tires, through which the power is passed measure 13×5-6 (13 inch diameter, 5 inch width, 6 inch rim diameter) and are air filled, while the front tires are actually castor wheels that measure 9×3.5-4 (9 inch diameter, 3.5 inch width, 4 inch rim diameter).

As the John Deere LESCO WL80B is the smallest of the current JD LESCO line up of walk behind mowers, it’s also quite light, tipping the scales at 259.5 kg (572 lbs). The mower deck on this model has a cutting width of 32 inches and is constructed from strong and durable 7 gauge steel. If you are more interested in a larger model, compared to this one, you might like to take a look at the John Deere LESCO WL83B or the John Deere LESCO WL85B walk behind lawnmowers.
