| A good friend asked me if i'd do a spring tune-up on his cub Cadet lawn tractor, so i brought it home and got to work on it. I think he said it is only 3 years old. But, the battery was done, the oil had never been changed, or even checked-it was barely visible on the stick! I guess he sharpens the blades by going across the sidewalks! I could see the concrete scratches on the blades! They are still sharp!
So, it got everything it needed, including a new battery. Will take it back tomorrow, barring rain. but, it'll get there somehow--ya shouldn't mow in the rain, any way! |

| that about right remember two year warranty if you do nothing they will last that long? Just amazing why people won't check oil when they put gas in it?!? I have seen some mower blades sharpen them selfs. Worn so bad have half moon shape on the end with needle like edge coming out to point. Lucky for him He finely thought he needed to do something after it wouldn't start!!? |

| RC: I have been servicing his walk-behind mower every spring, and it works ok. I think he had his son using the tractor, and he probably gave it a cursory inspection (Is the seat dry? Is it wet? Are the wheels going around?) Probably pulled the dip-stick and saw lots of oil on it, and didn't second stick it after a wipe-off! And, it didn't look like anybody had oiled anything, nor cleaned the thing! TSK, TSK, TSK! (RJ) |
