Wow, sorry to hear about that. Hubby has never had a new mower. He has always had snappers he bought used and fixed. About 6 weeks back both mowers he had broke while mowing the back yard, within 10 minutes of each other. I said that was it, he was getting a new mower and he fought me on it. I don't need a new mower, I just need to fix these. I said not anymore you won't. He just didn't want to spend the money for it.

Well, I got him a loan for 0% interest for four years on it. He couldn't argue after that one. It wasn't cheap when all was said and done it was just over $4,000, but I am happy he isn't over doing it out there anymore. Work smarter, not harder.
