My father in law, in all his wisdom, put gasoline in my lawn mower's oil reservoir now the damned thing (only 3 months old) is dead - won't even start. it was a cheapie i got from Meijer, but i'm not sure if i should fix the mower or get another one...

any suggestions?

 

How much was it?

I say replace.

 

i thought a FILipino broke your lawnmower.

 

Father In Law - FIL

It's was like...$119.99? It's a cheapie.

 

Kill him!

 

Honda baby!


I know people who have 11+ year old honda mowers!

You can get the one above (if you look around) for about $250-$300 bucks. The model is HRR216PDA.

 

I bought mine here: http://www.lawnsite.com/

There are always landscapers selling off equipment there, and you can get some great deals. I paid $500 for a used 36" cut Toro mower four years ago, and it's still going strong. It costs around $3200 new

 

Time to buy a new one, leave that one on the corner somewhere for someone to pick up.

 

Get one of these and never worry about gas or oil again.

Works great.

 

If his FIL (what a goofy acronym) is clueless (sorry FIL) enough to put gas into the oil filler, he is bound to be limbless after using that thing!
