Hi,
I have a sears self propelled walkbehind mower. I've hit
bricks, sticks, etc, and it works fine. However I hit
a large stick the other day, and when I push down
on the handles to raise the front wheels, [to turn a corner]
it makes a loud racquet, like the blade is hitting something
slightly. Is that just a bent blade or could it be the shaft?
Is there a way to tell? Plus do I have to get the sears
blade or will any 22" blade work?

thx

After reading your post I have concluded the best thing for you to do
is hire someone to do your lawn.

LOL.. what size stick was it? those 10" sticks are KILLERS..

Mow cautiously and watch for big sticks ? I get the impression this poster
doesn't have the foggiest - hasn't even disconnected the spark plug and
looked underneath.
