The deck on our push mower rusted and the left rear wheel fell off. 
;D
A friend of mine recently bought a new mower from Sears. He said "You can have my old one for free. The pull rope is broke and the self propel doesn't work."
It's a Toro. I brought it home. The rope is one that goes all the way up the handle. It was broke part way down. There's a bead on the rope to keep it from recoiling in too far. I just tied a knot where it was broke so I would have a handle to pull.
I got it started and had my step son use it. Works good. I've never had a bagger. I use the cuttings for mulch in my garden. I was suprised how much I could pick up with this mower. Way more than I was raking up before. So after I finished trimming, I went to the garage and took the cover off the transmission.
What do you know, It was just a cable out of adjustment. I adjusted it and went back to mowing.
Looks like it should be a pretty good mower. Now if those pumpkins would just grow some more, I wouldn't have to mow so much.
