What sort of a project is it to replace the power cord? Soldering is
not one of my strong points.

Not a big job at all. Note the details of its assembly as you are
taking it apart - the orientation of the parts can be very important
when you're putting it back together.

Soldering is not the preferred way to attach the new cord. Use solder
less connectors or solder less splices.

Neighbor tossed one in the trash. Seems the cord got in the way of the
blade somehow Would have been nice to get it before it got all rusty
too but beggars can't be choosers or so they say...

Had a nice piece of cord with plug cut off something, maybe 20 foot
long. Worked really nice as a replacement. It has a nice soft neoprene
style cord now rather than the cheapo stiff plastic. Long enough to do
many jobs without needing an extension.

I don't remember it being anything difficult but then that was the kind
of stuff I did for a living (electronic repair). If you get in a bind
post some questions. As Bob said, take pictures beforehand. Wire
routing can be critical to keep it from becoming pinched when
re-assembled...
