FROM THIS MOMENT ON I WILL NO LONGER BE ANSWERING ANY LAWN MOWER QUESTIONS IN A SENSIBLE MANNER. NO LONGER WILL I IMPART MY KNOWLEDGE OR SKILLS TO ANYONE WHO IS IN TROUBLE.
THAT IS THE LAST TIME ANYONE REPORTS ONE OF MY MOST HELPFUL AND VALUABLE ANSWERS. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED YOU CAN ALL LEARN THE HARD WAY.
