I have to repair something on it every year and lately, it's like every month. Carburetor, spark plugs, carburetor again. Wheels are bent from his earlier years ... It takes me hours to fix things sometimes, between buying the part, can't find that dang tool cuz kids were in the garage, so many swears, also add that I am not very handy.
I just bought another one, I hate spending a hours every month or so fixing stuff on this one. I'm not a handyman.
I'm glad my son mows the lawn tho. Looks like his little brother is interested in helping too, so, a new one is justified in my eyes.
