I have a toro recycler mdl. #20017 with a bent crank shaft. I have confirmed the shaft is indeed bent. I can not bring myself to just throw the mower away. It was bent by a relative who borrowed it. He states he hit the foot of a hammock stand and the mower cut off and he noticed oil had leaked from the bottom. He couldnt re-start it. I got it back and was able to re-start it like normal and noticed a heck of a vibration. I hoped the blade was bent, but it is definately the shaft thats bent. What can I do. A new comparable model is around 500 bucks. With this economy, thats out of the question, I have tools, wherewithall and some knowledge.

I bought a ceiling fan from a yard sale. I installed it and it works fine. What makes it unique is the fact that it has two blades on top which spin in one direction and directly below is two more blades that spin in the other direction....it also has a light on the bottom and is all wood. I can't find a brand name anywhere on it and the yard sale lady didn't know the brand either. It has no chains or switches on the fan itself, at all. It turns on and off at the wall switch and apparently has only one speed which is "on" or "off" (including the light). Anyone ever seen a ceiling fan like this or know of a brand name for it???
