Oh, I get it, 'cut above average' :o

Re: Lawn Mowers

I'm sure you dont really care - BUT... my attempts to revive my mower with a carby rebuild were unsuccessful. It went back together beautifully - but still wont start...

So I guess that means theres a "Spares or Repair" going on eBay soon - probably get $20 for it and someone with ability will fix it in 10 minutes and sell it for $100.... good luck to them.

Now - how do I tell the wife that instead of putting money on a deposit for a trip to Fiji for our 10yr anniversary next year, we have to spend it on a new f*&king lawn mower? :ohmy:...

Of course we care, well, I do anyway.

Do you want a whipper snipper that I bought years ago and have never managed to start? :D

(OH issue) Have a 'new mower' budget and spend the last $50 on her ;)

Bought a Talon Tough Tools AM3030 4 stroke mower (2yr old) off of eBay at the weekend. Does a very good job.

I had one of those (new) a couple of years ago. It cut brillliantly - right up to the point where it died a horrible unrepairable death 12 months later. Since all the mower repair shops looked at me and laughed when I said I had a "Talon", I vowed never to get another Talon mower..

Still - good luck with your eBay mower! :D
