I know it's been a while but, I forgot where I posted this message. I appreciate your response but, it looks like that website isn't around any more. Back to my search I guess. It'd be nice to find a class in one of the local community colleges but, I haven't seen anything yet. I'd offer...

That definitely looks like something I need to get my hands on. Prolly too late to get Santa to bring it to me but, I'll sweet talk momma and get it after Christmas.

I never looked at that saying in that way Rivets. The way it was brought to my attention was that the older mechanics (or anyone else in a profession out there) get, the less they can do in the areas like squatting down or even getting on thier knees to work on something and then not needing...

Thieft is spelled Thief....

I heard a saying a long time ago.. "Those who can't do, teach"

Wow, some great answers and a lot that I didn't even ponder before.. I've got a 4x8 trailer, a 6x10 trailer, the bed of my pickup, plenty of ways to get them back to the shop. What I usually do is buy those units that "ran last year" and won't start at all this year. I get them VERY cheap...

I've got the blade off and I DO need a new blade holder but, I guess I'm asking "How do I remove the blade holder?"

I'll get that for you tomorrow. Thanks!

Craftsman 6.25hp. Trying to replace the blade holder under the deck. Hmm then I'm going to need a new one, Motor runs fine and smooth even though the blade was bent like a balloon animal. The blade holder took some damage and one of the bolts was shared off. Any help is greatly appreciated.
