"On" my bench currently is a John Deere L100 my dad's having me fix up. So far I've put a new valve cover gasket on it, done an oil change, pulled the deck to put new spindles/blades on it, put new front tires on it, and ordered a good used starter for it after the original died. I hate mowers and would much rather work on saws, but somehow I'm fixing this one and going to start work on another one for a buddy on Sunday afternoon. He said he hit something, sheared the blade off, broke the spindle, "Chewed up some of the bolts and stuff under there" and who knows what else. I'm thinking I'll just get a list of parts to order Sunday and tear into it once everything shows up.
Previously I had my brother's 281 hit my bench. "It won't start" turned into a new recoil pulley, all the misc tidbits for the oiler, a new clutch drum setup, possibly some new a/v bushings, the piston needed to be cleaned up, and I don't even know what to think about the "repair" on the full wrap. I think the p.o. had a tree hit it as the wrap is f-ed up and the tank handle was busted when he got it, but idk for certain. It has been tucked away until the parts show up.
