    I was lookin for a mower and

    found this on Craigslist. It read about as good as any joke I've read lately.

    That ad was obviously done with a huge chunk of tongue-in-cheek. Funny stuff! (And they forgot to mention that it was stolen and stripped last year, but that those parts off that old Monkey Wards mower that's been holding the back fence up seem to work just fine...)

      Hey now don't be makin fun of Monkey Wards mowers. I have one thats still kicking @$$ and mowing down the blades. It's a lawn tractor thats 30+ years old. Starts every time and pulls wheelies when you dump the clutch.

        The fact that the engine makes a strange sound, means it's still in running condition.

        Do you know about kickback? Ray has a good writeup here... https://www.sawdustzone.org/articles...mare-explained

          Ed, It's when the noise stops that you have to worry.
