Last weekend I added some 2x4's from a pallet to another pallet. That turned it into a simple table. Today I used that table to work on the lawnmower. We got it way back in 2005 when we moved in. After over 17 years of neglect it's still running. Yeah, it could use a new drive belt, air filter, spark plug, front wheels, blade and body. But I was able to get the front clovers and weeds cut. Last year the drive belt would jump off the main pulley and it'd be hard to push. Being so old some of the bolts wouldn't come loose and I just dealt with it. Until today. Even though the belt feels loose I hope it holds on another summer. It barely has any pull to it. The main rust spot was under the belt cover and I was able to patch that up with some aluminum and hopefully that will keep debris from getting in there. I might get the back cut today also. Ha, who am I kidding? After this and laundry I think I'm done for the day.
