Not as good as the the other stories on here but this happened yesterday.

The weeds and grass inthe back yard were out of control, its too hot to mow it anymore, alls I do now is go outside here and there for some parts, etc to put on ebay and bring them in.

So i am staggering around the back yard and spot my bolens ride on, I had had this running only the weekend before, poorly but alas it ran.

So I plodded inside for another beer, and thought I would try mowing a medium size back yard with it. I wound the rope around and around the pulley and one decent pull and itwent.

All was well until The rope I use to tie stuff on the trailor fell offf the mower and under the blades, taking down the starter rope with it.

However not to be deterred I pulled all the parts of mangled rope out and took the starter rope from one of the toecutters and finished the place.

I dont mind using the rideon out the back now, the drive to the wheels doesnt disengage but I can hold a stubbie and steer at the same time!
