Probably had a loose rod gasket on the old one. Those budget mowers always have flimsy heads.

Well I'm home from vacation. Last Friday evening, on the eve of my trip, I was planning on mowing my lawn. If I go on a long Vaca, I like to mow it the day before I leave, so it stays nice and trim while I'm away. Anyway, I go to start my mower, starts up, dies, starts up dies. So I took apart the carbonator, cleaned, dried, replaced the filter, same result. Called up my old man, he suggested, since it's a 12 year old budget mower, and it's the eve of my trip, it's time to let the old mower die.
Went to home depot, bought mower, assembled mower. By now it's 8:15. I'm thinking, time to bang this out while there's still a little light left. I mow two rows, and it's eating into my yard. So I raise the height, start it up, the blade sounds like it's tearing something up. Turn it off, inspect blade, nothing obstructing it, nothing run over. Try and turn it back on, now it won't start. So I now I'm exhausting myself trying to start it. Anyway, long story short, apparently they forget to tighten the blade at the factory. It was but loose. I had to do yard work and most of my packing the morning/afternoon the next day, Got my trip off to a very late start, and there more challenges to follow. |

Oh and a small disclaimer on my budget mower comment, I ALWAYS say buy the budget mowers. You can get like 5 to 10 out of them and if you buy an expensive mower, they aren’t worth the investment.

Yeah. Then on the day before we leave to come home, my truck battery dies. Luckily, I carry one of those peak jump starters. I was able to jump it a couple times and get us home without having to pay AutoZone battery prices (Walmart & rural King are much cheaper).
