A push mower can throw a stone just as easily. Neither of them would usually kill anyone. Probably just as likely to be killed by a fly entering your eye while cycling, causing you to be temporarily blinded and crash headlong into a tree.

A push mower can throw a stone just as easily. Neither of them would usually kill anyone. Probably just as likely to be killed by a fly entering your eye while cycling, causing you to be temporarily blinded and crash headlong into a tree.

Because of that, my Dad refused to ever have a power mower, so I mowed the lawn with a manual push mower until I left the house.

that's two.

How is it two? You weren't injured.


Whoosh!
A "push mower" is not a "power mower"
It works on muscle power.

This is the second time today that you have responded to *my* response

I don't mind hearing from you, but I'm wondering why you aren't responding
directly to his (ridiculous) posts instead of mine.
Because I don't see birdbrain's posts.

No, because you want to respond to me even though you've killfiled me. You lack conviction.

This has all the makings of a really great comedy.
"Who sees McCaw?"
"I don't know."
"Hoo!"
"I don't know Hoo."
"Hoo don't you know?"
"I see."
"I don't see."
"What?"
"I don't see hoo, no matter what."
"You don't what, hoo?"
"Hoo's the guy?"
"Right. I don't see hoo."
"You don't see Hoo, what?"

That sounds like a Marx Brothers sketch. A bit dated really.

In my life, mower pull cords are a disposable
item like gasoline and spark plugs.
Usually get 10 years on a cord - 5 or more on a plug


Mine has gone through two or three cords and
one recoil in the last year.
The last engine on my mawer was a Briggs and Stratton. I have owned
the mower for about 25 years. I replaved the recoil clutch on it about
15 years ago, and the rope about 8 years ago. I replacewd the engine 4
or 5 years ago. It was about 12 or 15 years old when I bought it -
wirh a new rope abd carb rebuild just before I got it.

I think I replaced the plug once in the years I had it..

I broke the rope on my last big snow-blower once in the 30 years I
owned it (it also was a used unit - over 10 years old, when I bought
it. I replaced the engine once as well. Tecumseh HS50.

I had a B&S for a push mower and the recoil spring broke. Bought 2
new ones and each one broke. the T-part at the end, that holds the end
in place, broke off.

What was I don't wrong?

My English is failing. I think the word should have been "doing"!

Likely winding it too tight.

I'm trying to remember details. Maybe that was it.

KenK-

As others mentioned, you need to keep tabs on the fluid level in a
lead-acid battery.

I do, usually monthly. Once in a great while it needs a bit of water.
That's the first thing I looked at when this problem started - water
level normal.

I have a "Battery Tender Plus" charger connected to the battery in a
Honda generator. I do not remember the symptoms, but the first
battery died after several years. The battery is a gel-cell, the kind
used in a motorcycle.

It is always possible the charger has malfunctioned, but I would
suspect the battery first.
