Don't laugh too hard! the mower got borked first time out...
Clark said:
Hi Eggs, You really think they should replace the deck? (the Sears guy said he's seen much worse, well what's that say?). It's brand new! I really have thought about making a fuss, like bringing in the old and new blades and the "monster stick" and telling them it says "Satisfaction guaranteed" on the back of the receipt. That is *exactly* what I was thinking. The factory blades are pieces of shit, obviously. That's crappy merchandise, and not worth the price. I'd go for it. Kathy thinks we should bring it back too (replacement or)? She was wrong about the beer. She's right this time. I have owned allot of mowers over the years and never encountered this type of problem before. Nor have I. It's brand new. The problem I have is I have already "admitted" to mowing something other than grass and I think they consider that misuse, but It's brand new. If they won't cover a stick of that size, doing unacceptable damage, then ****-em. Get *all* of the money back, and buy a better mower. Dood... it's brand new. There's no excuse. That stick should never have caused excessive damage. looking forward to your reply Ask, and ye shall receive. =) And, while you're waiting, please d/l and install OEQuotefix. =P -- Eggs Do stars clean themselves with meteor showers? |

The stick was not a big stick (I have chopped up _much_ worse on my JD), nothing that should have done this. Also, it was the bad blade that did the damage to the deck, not the stick. The blade should have stayed at least reasonably straight. I have hit a lot of stuff on my semiwooded place, and bent a few blades. They just bend a little after hitting something that stops them cold. Curving into the deck and putting a hole in it cannot be tolerated as acceptable. My US$0.02, Tomes |

( I own and operate a PC repair shop), I however have not read the documentation. WooHoo! Yes, that's *much* better, thanks! It's brand new.

That stick should never have caused excessive damage I think your right. I'm just saying that's what I'd do, whether it's right or not I dunno. =) But, I know if I spend that kinda money on a mower, it better be tougher than one of those kiddie mowers that blow bubbles, and it sounds like this one isn't/wasn't. -- Eggs If you're too open-minded, your brains will fall out. |
