Meant to say MF, a few months ago I started a vertical pull briggs on victa thumblatch deck. I was on a big solid plastic sheet as it was leaking oil. I went the the spark plug side, put my left foot on front wheel, and pulled the cord

There was oil under the wheel, wheel rotated, my foot slipped off backwards, the front of the mower pivoted up (as I was pulling the cord) and towards me (obviously my vertical pull had a few degrees slant).

Deck dropped straight over my foot and bladeskicked it out hard.

Thankfully steel cap boots - I was very lucky

Hi Tyler,
My years of ABN's is done and dusted, so I guess I will just get out of bed each day and do what I can but this lockdown is just getting all to tiring and I don't want the taxman anywhere near me. Many years ago when I was working I used to work hard for 6 months, pay a lot of tax, then take a few months off and over the 12 months it didn't make a massive difference because I would get a good tax return so I was able to take the months off on what was probably about half pay.
