Saw today that only 40% of US funds sent to Ukraine go to buying arms. My gut tells me most of the funding for Ukraine goes into someone's pocket, likely the pockets of those whose idea it was to send the money!

Just wait till Biden's 87,000 new IRS agents get going! I'm at a bit of a loss.....OP.....did the clerk want your phone number or did the clerk want your phone?

I have two customers with steep hills. One is a pain but the other is a bit dangerous to try and mow. I have outfitted a pushmower with a rope pulley and two eyebolts so I can roll the thing downhill then pull it back up. BUT I think a tracked or 4WD radio controlled mower is the way...

Honest folks still live in CA?

The Mow Men around here would love to go faster!

I'm about to go mow two yards right now. A zero turn couldn't do these yards due to size and slant. Ever notice how the mowing team, the fat guy is on the zero turn and the skinny guy is weed trimming? Maybe they should rotate jobs a bit.

You haven't had your boosters? I have it on very good authority that "you are a very bad person!" (Morbidly obese man with mask told me that the other day). Nothing like a massively obese man telling me how concerned for his health he is! LOL He was pretty upset I wasn't masked up in the...

Well that's a funny story! Sorry it happened to you. Thursday I mowed for a lady whose yard is on such an incline I could hardly believe it when she said "the previous mower got his zero turn up there." I mowed it with a push mower and I'm seriously considering calling her and quitting. But...

So Bert....when are you taking your 5th jab?

sgkent.... Good idea, wish I had thought of it yesterday. Maybe it would have worked. Doubt it though. The guy suggested I'd "tear up his yard and not pay for it." There isn't much you can do with a personality like that but I'll keep your suggestion in mind, thank you. No doubt this...

A world war would do one BIG thing and that is cover up the absolute fail of the fiat currency America has had since the early 1970's. At least the Russia ruble has real value........it's literally worth what the dollar used to be worth, which is gold. Also, notice how quickly "Covid" went...

Um no. It's NATO that's been expanding, not the Warsaw Pact. In fact, NATO's stated mission ended when the Soviet Union collapsed. Also, where was the world reaction and banning of us when we invaded a soverign nation and killed 1 million of its people? Remember the invasion of Iraq in...

Don't do that man! Sell that to someone that'll get it going again. I'd straight up mow with that.

In my AO California is called "Commiefornia" and for good reason. Guarantee you the elites are exempt and their illegal alien landscapers will continue using whatever they want to mow their yards. Unless a Leftie supports vastly expanded nuclear power generation, they are deluding themselves...

OP, To answer your question, "sure!" Just tell them "I was too scared of getting Covid to go into the courthouse." It works.

Seriously, I doubt police in my AO still care about this sort of thing. In 2020 I let a front headlight go for about 6 months. I know I straight up passed officers at night but I guess it was simply too cold for them to want to be outside for the stop. Only later on in spring was I pulled...

slomo, Glad you liked that! Neat video too. In the process of getting my wife a self-propelled mower so she can help me mower easier. We are blessed to have wives that enjoy hard work.

Sounds like you know just what kind of neighbor this guy is! Sorry you have to go through this sort of thing. We each have the option of being a good person. Our attitude and how we treat others can literally change their lives and for the better. Oh I know what you mean but that man had...

Mower still going strong! Mowed another yard with it yesterday, grass nearly 8 inches tall in places. I did have the deck raised all the way up though. I don't know how much money I've made with this cast away mower, certainly over a grand so far.

Mow with a push mower and lose whatever weight you can. You're welcome. LOL. (I do a lot of mowing with a push mower, have mowed over 3 hours non-stop with one, but that wasn't 10 acres!) OP, what did you end up doing?

Lady's place is really grown up.....REALLY BAD. Tall bushes, vines, trees much too close to her house. She answered my "odd jobs" add in the local trading paper and we came to an agreement on my wife and I removing the brush, trees, etc. and hauling those off to the landfill. I've done jobs...

Would you consider selling that shaft straightener device? I was mowing for a guy the other day and hit a pipe! Old guy had really let his place go and it was hidden in some tall grass. I currently have that mower in the shop for them to try their shaft straightener on it but If I keep up...

I appreciate the suggestion but her neighbor gave it to her and I highly doubt she got anything signed. She's probably already forgotten she ever had it! LOL Ordered new carb-mounting bolts, air filter, and air filter housing cover. Is there a big washer that helps hold the blade on...

OK so this potential mowing client hired me (then forgot she hired me and hired someone else...oh well...how it goes) but she had me take off a Honda GCV 160 that some fool had been running with the air filter off of it. Hopefully I can get it going. Questions. When was it made? Honda GCV...

Just a thread to share the silly things that happen to the professional mowers out there.......or anyone I guess! I wish I had this on video! I was weed eating a very steep bank today......gravel road below and house on top. The bank was too steep for any type of mowing and even side-to-side...

Totally unnecessary but I am considered an essential industry so it does not apply to me Odd how those not affected seem to be OK with such things. Human nature I suppose.

Bert, You'll call out the article's author but don't seem to notice the constant propaganda from govt. and media. I type this not with anger or hate but with sadness.......I think you chose the blue pill. What will it take? A friend believes that it will have to be the massive die out coming...

bert.....how are you liking that 5 km travel restriction? Necessary?

Mark, Glad you gave the Right Person credit. :)(y)

Found this video..... Shaft straightening

I never put blame on anyone else if I can possibly put it on myself. If you'd like impressive examples of this, drop me a PM. Bring on the shaft straightener!

Uncle of mine disabled his riding mower's seat safety disconnect (or whatever you call it). Then he proceeded to roll his mower over into a ravine of some sort. He told us how he was "trying to get away from that thing as it tumbled down the bank after him." My father still ties his push...

If anyone still believes this is "about your health" I have some beachfront property I'll let go for a fraction of market value. However, the thing is.....well......it's a new religion. The believers can't see that of course. They see our dissent as threats to their belief system...

Mowed four yards with the mower today.....I LOVE THIS MOWER. Lighter than Little Blacky, uses much less gasoline. HOW COULD ANYONE ABANDON SUCH A WONDERFUL LITTLE MOWER?

I'd still straighten the thing. If it cuts off my leg, that's on me. I'll sign any release anyone wants when it comes to that or any other risk I take.

Thanks. My brother lived life the way he saw fit.....something vastly lacking these days. Your customer is a nutcase......Cult of Covid. Sunlight breaks the virus down in 1 minute 40 seconds due to the UV component. That was the last useful bit of information I heard from official sources...

Sorry I haven't been back to continue. Thanks to Bert for answering my questions (although at first I took "Oz" to mean "he isn't going to answer!") LOL. I'll have to get back on here later and re-read the replies and reply properly. Had bro's funeral Wednesday. Today was the first day I...

Rich, Thanks man. Frankly I'm a little surprised a lawn mower forum has members that suggest buying a new mower over fixing it. I thought the purpose for a forum was to help others fix stuff. Got the mower for free.....enjoy the challenge. Now that the remnants of Hurricane Ida blew...

Stops droplets? Who knew???? I didn't know we had an epidemic of random people sneezing directly onto others. Too bad the virus is airborne. So you admit, it's a "virtue signal." Thanks. But that's what virtue signals do, they signal. As I told the masker yesterday, "masks are the...

Before we go any further, I'd like to ask some questions. 1). What country do you live in? I suspect it's Australia but I don't like to make assumptions. 2). What do you do for a living? 3). Has you income been harmed by the lockdowns? Are you at risk of losing your means of...

You might just be a bit of a loner-type. Lots of guys are just not very out-going. I'm so outgoing I actually feel bad if I don't talk to new people around me! Of course I make lots of new friends and that tends to benefit me although I don't do it for monetary gain, I just like being friendly...

Guys, I like to fix things, which is why I am here and not reading reviews on Lowe's.com .......I enjoy the challenge and opportunity to learn something new. *I'm not hurting for a mower, I have a backup I got running last week and my main mower may be fine after a carb cleaning or rebuild. So...

I cracked up reading this reply! I have laughed so much I'm not sure where to begin on the reply. It reminds me of a guy I spoke with yesterday. Older guy, goes to the gym daily. I saw him there yesterday, asked him what he did for exercise since I haven't seen him do any cardio in a...

That's not a long drive at all. I used to drive 3 hours, one-way, for literally 60 seconds of fun back when I was skydiving every other weekend. I have driven 19 hours one-way just to ski for two days. (Hopefully will again this coming ski season). Longest trip was 13,000 miles one-way to...

It is simply asinine to take an experimental drug for a virus one has already recovered from and by default, has immunity to. Absent an antibody test there is no way to be certain your brother had Covid.......and there is an admitted 33% false positive on the PCR test. Since I was 18 I...

"Two things can be true at once" (quoting Ben Shapiro). The virus can be real and it can be used for all manner of power grab, elimination of rivals, and economic gain. I read where New Zealand is locking down again for all of one new case. I seem to recall the lockdowns not about "preventing...

Where do you live? I can come to you and pay you for your time or bring whatever food/drinks you prefer.

Covid is not "devastating anyone," the lockdowns are. Odd how there is a "moratorium" on evictions and paying rent, but no moratorium on landlords paying property taxes and paying the loans they took out to buy the house their renters are not paying to live in. Very odd how McDonald's is...

Biggest group to die of the virus is not the elderly (who have a 75% or greater survival rate) but the obese. Obesity is the single, worst risk anyone can put themselves at. 40 percent of Americans are obese and 99% of Americans are overweight. With obesity comes diabetes, which is also...
