    Default Lawn Mower repair

    The mower I have needs repair. It leaks gas and won't start. I know nothing about mower repair. Suggestions?
    ...and across the line.

    If it's a cheapie, put it to the curb and buy a new cheapie. If you're ambitious, read this -

    Ditto...

    BUT... if you really have some sentimental attachment to the one you have... I've used McKinney Lawn & Timber, corner of Highway 5 and Industrial/El Dorado. In McKinney (obviously).

    I second McKinney Lawn & Timber... only if the mower is worth it though.

    Kewl. It's a decent Toro motor. Since I'm in McKinney, I may check them out.

    Yeah I've been borrowing Gary Shuhart's expen$ive Honduh mower and love it!

    I'd love a Honduh with the rear-wheeled self-propel but they's out of my price range.

    I'm on my Second Hoinda mower, first one went just at 20 years before I gave it to my then brother in law, 2nd one is sweet!

    I've been looking for some spinners for it, and I already have a wing on it!
