Well, I finally bit the bullet and ordered a new mower. Sears had one for $100 off and about $200 FREECASH in Points deal. So, with tax, it's $284 and I can use those Points to order something else that I might need. Like a decent socket set, drill/impact, etc Why get a new mower when they one I have is only 13 years old? I know, right. You'd think they'd make something to last 100 years nowadays. Nah, after 13 years of neglect and abuse it's been giving problems like rust, the belt jumping off, tires going balder than me, etc. Plus I'm sure it needs an oil change, air filter, spark plug, gas cap, and a new blade. That alone might be over $50. Probably close to $100. Why by from Sears when they might go bankrupt tomorrow? Well, it was a good price/deal and Sears really doesn't make anything. They get a company to make it and they just stick their name on it. From what I see there are really only TWO manufacturers of lawnmowers, MTD and Agri-Fab. So, I don't expect parts availability to be a problem. Now that the grass is cut, with the old mower, it's time for a shower, lunch and grocery shopping.
