I could fix/repair/McGiver (lol) pretty much any of them if I could source the parts, and many times I had to make do. Many times I would have what seemed like a mountain of tiny parts laid out across desktops, and still be able to get it all put back together and work perfectly. But you ask me to cut a 2x4 3' 2" long and Ill check it after the cut and be an inch off ... Sooo simple but arghhh! lol.
If we was all the Same , It would be a Boring World.

I have always steered clear of working on Lawnmowers engines in my younger years.
Now I am working on them More and More.

I do order another one when the other one Quits.

Before I throw it out, I do save the shafts for Machining projects.
