Depending on how bad its screwed up, I may take that electronic ignition off and go back to the distributor.

For now, I'm going to take the battery off , put it on a trickle charger in the garage and move the tractor to under the deck. This fall I'll get around to playing with it.
Enjoy cranking it during the winter…

was looking to buy a new mower, $3800 is giving me too much heartburn for a damned ol mower so I compromised and bought a $100 used one instead. Doesn't run. That's the only problem

I have a guy that cuts and edges my yard for $45…does it every 10 days or so.

Hasn’t cost me a dime this year, thanks to winning fantasy football last year…

tested the mower last night, the starter was bad on it, picked one up from Amazon that will be here this morning for $37.

There may be other things that are wrong with it, but if all I have to do is wrench for an hour and spend $137 to get a decent mower, well...that's my wheelhouse there
