today....and was lucky to have a good neighbor help me figure it out.
Decided before I get rid of my craftsman mower, I should still give it a good look over, and my neighbor who wanted to help stopped over to take a look. We played with a for a while, as now it wanted to turn over, but couldn't. Fast forward to about and hour later, we had a good piece of it apart. Turns out that it was something simple: the flywheel key was broke in half.
Two bucks and an hour later, we gave it a few pulls, and she's alive again! I learned quite a bit about mowers, and even more after today. I have to say, it was fun taking it apart..
Happy it works again...and plan to do a few more things to it too..
STill plan to get a new mower (I'll just switch between the two/help my neighbors), but now I can take my time. I can really see how people can get into this.....
