I would take the plug out before cranking. Unless the lawn mower was
running when it went in, there's probably not much in the cylinder, but
if there is, it will make it very difficult to crank.

Thanks for all the serious answers. I didn't removed the air intake
or flywheel but did the cylinder and oil pan drain.

Thanks for the great advice!

before I take it to the shop tomorrow.

If it was running at the time you should bring your wallet!

I don't suppose you are ever going to tell the tale of how this happened?
(sorry it is at your expense but it was a good chuckle for the day). DK

Yeah. We're all curious. Is (was) it a self-propelled model or were you
not watching what you were doing? Did you go in with it? Don't you have
a fence around your pool? (I assume it's not an above-ground pool)
Besides, where are you that you were mowing the grass in February? (or
did this happen last fall and you're just getting around to thinking
about the mowing season?) Maybe you were practicing the mower throw for
the redneck olympics?

great advice Bob!!!! (another reason I love this newsgroup so
much, you
never know when someone here is so informative, and I mean that
most
sincerely) got any clues as to what to do about the cord on
mine that is
stretched all the way out and refuses to rewind? new cord? New
cord and
reel? Squire is on the road and I sense the grass soon will
suspect as much
and need to figure this out before it starts growing in the
paths
soon............

It sounds like the recoil spring is broken. You have to take off
the case on the top of the engine that covers it. Sometimes it
breaks close to the end and you can grind a couple notches in the
spring to re-use it. Otherwise, get a new one.
