Customer states, hit a stump and now deck is making terrible noises

[Honest Abe]

tell the customer she killed the machine and sell her a new one. Serves her right . . . . .

The irony about this entire situation is my nephew owns a stump grinding business.

Some people (several) should not be allowed to even own a mower much less try to operate one.

Received this mower last week after the customer said she hit a stump and deck started making loud noises and was vibrating. I think the issue long before she hit the supposed stump.

No mention of stone bocci balls & sand pit next to the stump...???

I once had a neighbor ask me to sharpen the blade on her push mower because it had "stopped cutting good". I tipped it up to remove the blade and was shocked to see the blades were on upside down, and had been used so long the back side was completely worn off, while the sharp edges were like new. "Stopped cutting good"? I would have loved to see just how "good" it was cutting when they were put on new. I wish I had taken pictures.

"Well"... Well, Well!

I once sold a used 6 hp string mower to a woman. I told her to check the oil and add whatever every time she fueled it. It came back blown up. She said look, it is full of oil. I pulled the dip stick and indeed it was full with clean oil except for bottom quarter inch that was black.
