Looks fine to me

Who's it for?

Who's it for?

Homeowner, said the last time it was serviced we did it back when the shop was in the old building. That was over seven years ago.

Meh, he probably did more than most in relation to service.
At least he brought it in --in the 7th year.

Take it off of them and give them a manual push mower!

I had a customer one time that brought in a push edger with a broken blade arm, part was NLA. Called him and told him I had to dis-assemble, V-Grind, weld it, dress down, paint it, and re-assemble with a new belt and blade. Gave him an estimate of $150.00 and he approved it. When he came to pick it up he started raising cain saying that we had told him it was only going to cost $35.00 (our minimum estimate fee). I showed him the notes where I called him and he approved it but he said I was lying and that he had never approved anything more than the $35.00 estimate fee. Finally the manager agreed to let him have it for $35.00 which covered the belt and blade but no labor. "Somehow" before his edger got loaded a can of valve grinding compound was spilled, and most of it went into the crankcase of that edger.

Savage. And hilarious. We're looking for a tech joe...interested in movin?

Salt found it's way into the intake of a mower due to the amount of sweat that the junk mower and insane owner caused.

Strange things happen to strange people.

Was given a Pioneer P39 a good while back. Just got to my bench. Pulled the cover and found:

Look like he stuffed a Briggs and Stratton in there, lol!

"My mower isn't cutting even."

There is more than one thing wrong here, who can spot it?

@Spike60 be sure to show this to Warren.

 

[Onan18]

Well that pretty much took all of the guess work out of it.

The other blade is upside down.

edit: both are upside down, but you know what I mean.

Guess this guy wanted loud exhaust and couldn’t afford an aftermarket pipe.
