SUPER Old Lawn Mower Repaired!

[Britesea]

older stuff tends to be easier to work on, if you can get the parts. DH used to say his old 54 Chevy truck was so easy to work on because there was so much empty space under the hood you could practically crawl in to work on the engine.

I heard an older railroad engineer say that the old steam engines used to take 5 minutes to find the problem and all day to fix it, while the modern diesel trains take all day to find the problem, and 5 minutes to fix it.

For some reason I thought this thread was going to be different...

When I read
"Super old lawn mower repaired"

I was thinking a 20 year old horse got his teeth floated... or the 10 year old gander was cured of bumble foot.

I remembered working with diesel engines on trains in the Soviet Union in my youth. It was very difficult. They could break down all the time. Now we've moved to children in the U.S., and I can't even imagine how you can fix an engine device here without the help of specialists. My son's lawn trimmer broke, he uses it to tear up the grass. I used to do it with my hands when I was young. Here is this trimmer https://trimthatweed.com/ego-string-trimmer-review/ I saw him, the Internet does not say anything about the repair. While my son was trying to fix it himself, I had already pulled all the weeds on the property. My son said this is not the way things are done here. I can't get used to the new mentality, although the neighbors loved me.

unfortunately in recent years the appearance of new people quoting products or reviews are often signs of people who are primarily interested in doing one thing and that is spamming. so if you are actually a genuine person interested in being a part of SS you'll have to be wary of posting a lot of links to products. right now i'm leaning towards spammer. sorry, it's just too common of a pattern these days.

Don't ever change. nothing wrong with pulling out weeds by hand! I don't know why many people are afraid of a little work.

I don’t think so on this one. @KristPom posted 6 times and this is the only one with a link. If you go to their profile and read all 6 posts, it looks like someone who has just moved to this country and is trying to make friends. But they were only here briefly on Tuesday morning, so we shall see if they come back and participate more.

The scammer ones usually post nothing but links.

that's what i hope, but i wanted to post a warning to see if they'd respond or edit their post or anything at all. normally spammers will not respond or edit to remove their spam links.
