8. It's funny. I'm 81 and up to a few years ago, I fixed or built very little of anything by/for myself.

About 4 years ago, I started looking at stuff on Youtube on how to fix and make stuff. I am now building and restoring boardwalk in the local swamp's conservation area. Based on that, I can/could build an entire patio deck. I get a kick out'a doing stuff I felt was beyond my ability....

This is not a criticism of "not doing it anymore." Just an observation. I hope you get the mower fixed at minimum cost.

Try these or ask for a repair referal. magicarpet Jul 2024 #9

Thanks, took it to Kingston, NH last week. Given their backlog, I suspect it will be awhile before it gets serviced. OAITW r.2.0 Jul 2024 #10
