Slots and Scrap Metal

Postby ddyke » Mon May 04, 2015 5:48 am

This time I hit it big. I got a Honda push mower that had a broken drive axle. The axle set up was weird but within 2 minutes I had the broken part out. What does this have to do with slots and scrap metal? The scrap metal part is obvious. I got a really nice $700 mower for nothing but a replacement part. The guy delivered to my house. What does it have to do with slots? My wife says, "That makes up for all those tools you bought for the little cars." Yes, I use those vise grips on my slots all the time! ;-)

Later I will explain to her.

$4.27 later it is mowing.
This was a good day! We need one every so often, don't we.

Now you can also spend the $695.73 that you saved on slot cars, eh?

This is one with a double blade. It is the best bagging mower I have ever used. I mow my yard and my neighbors. His yard was dying because the last guy used a mulching mower. It killed half the yard. This thing sucked up all the dead matted/imbedded grass (which I put on my garden). His yard now has a chance to recover.
