OK, here is the story.
I was mowing the lawn, I hit a stick (pine), it bent the right blade
AND the bent blade cut into the mowing deck (about 2.5 inches)
I think this was a freak accident, but??

The Sears guy is coming out to look at it Sat.
I've already pounded the metal back in place, and straighten the
blade enough to mow the rest of the property, it just needs a spot
weld now (oh and at least one blade (or some hammering). Three
hours on the new mower.. ugh
When that blade hit the mowing deck it stopped the engine cold!! (it
started fine and I've run it for about 1 hour so I think it's fine)

How big a "stick" did you hit? Clearly, I wasn't a twig.

If I were the Sears guy, I would tell you that the mower was designed to
cut grass, not sticks, and be out of there.

It's ridiculous that you expect a manufacturer/retailer to compensate you
for damages that were caused by your own neglect or misuse of the
product.

Next time, keep your eyes open when you're mowing!

Sheeeeesh!
