This is my explanation ,for what it's worth....
First off.. others & myself on this site, really try to extend ourselves to help those who truly need it .
Very often we get folks asking for our our help, without giving us a clue as to what the problem is or what it is they're trying to do or un-do ....
When I saw your post I noticed you had been here before , so I thought surely you would have known from previous posts (if you read any) you would ... OR should know, we need certain info. to begin the process of helping ...usually we need a brand name , model, serial # , year , size & make of engine and those numbers / letters codes etc. all this info. is relevant to us finding the necessary info. to help YOU ..the person asking US for help.
I will apologize for being quite abrupt in my first response.. it was uncalled for on my part ..all I can offer in my defense is that of lately the site has had some aggraviting S.O.B. posters playing games by loading the forums with junk input and in general being really frustrating by disrupting the flow of info.
I perceived you might be doing just that.. Why ..??? because I thought from reading your posts from last Dec. you have some knowledge of lawn equipment, and then when you stated you wanted to put the mower on its side ..
well that's when I took it as a jab of us being stupid enough to be played along.. that was all there was to it !.
I hope we can put this to rest by just callin ME ..A Grumpy Ol Man ..!!! ... Boobala
