Catastrophic FAILURE Of My $20,000 Walker Mower... That's Gonna Hurt
I spent years mowing commercially and if theres one thing everyone knows it's that Walker stripes are untouchable. 10 years ago they didn't cost as much as a new car but after 2021 that all changed. The prices have skyrocketed for every mower, including the trusty T23 that's now $20,000. I bought this one for less... WAY less and that's going to cost me.

Buying This CHEAP Boat Was My BIGGEST Mistake... Or Was It?

I saw one picture of this vintage jet boat and knew I had to win the auction for it. This 1977 Spectra has a Berkley pump, a freshly rebuilt 454 and a custom ground cam in it. I'm not sure there's a boat on earth thats this fun for this little money. Then @WestenChamplin and I got both jet boats out to do some racing and play around for the day.

    You're lucky it broke the gearbox and didn't bend or break your engine crank. I've seen that happen on mowers.

    More then 10 years ago, my neighbors lawn service company mowed over the city water shut off access which cut off 3 inch diameter cast iron pipe, 1 inch long and it ended up in my back yard. When I cut the lawn, I hit it and it went through the mower deck and bent the valves in the engine. It had to replace the whole mower. It wasn't cost-effective to repair it. Naturally, the neighbors lawn service denied it was responsible. I learned to always walk the lawn prior to mowing.

    The only downside to commercial equipment is commercial prices on parts. I found this out when I bought a house, I found out the Breaker box is a commercial one, they want $100+ for the latch assembly that is missing and it consists of a small steel flat latch, a small spring and a screw. The same would be less than $10 if it were for a residential breaker box.

    You might of bent the crank for each shaft spinning the blades? If working on the mower to take the spark plug wire off of the spark plug. This way is almost impossible for it to start. Never work on any lawm mower - mower with the spark plug on! It can cut one's fingers, hands, toes, feet off. I use to work at Sears at our product repair facility and we always take the spark plug off of the push mower. Be safe!
