~ Did You Think?...~

...did you think this was my Honda HT3813 lawn tractor?

...did you think this is the one I bought almost two years ago for three hundred dollars, and then drove for about one hour before it hemoraged and died whilst mowing my back forty?

...did you think this was the one that has sat out under the italian pines by the levee since that time, waiting for The Love?

...did you think that my new friend Joe offered to diagnose, and then offer to repair, my Honda HT3813, thereby giving it The Love?

...did you think that I spent $201.63 for a new water pump and timing belt?

...did you think we had to pull the motor OUT to replace these parts?

...did you think that Joe and I did all this and that then, after giving my Honda HT3813 The Love, that she runs like a charm and that I have been out mowing like a banshee?...If so...

...you would be among the correct thinkers...

Cool they need love baby don't we all. Hubby gets a new/used one for FREE from a guy here at work that repairs mowers and tractors for a side job. He was given one, repaired it and is giving GIVING it to C'. We are going to pull a roller and try and get rid of the oh so bumpy grass we have.

You got out of that cheap. Without "The Love" from your friend and you, the "Labor Cost" would have really pissed you off!

Be nice to it. Change or clean the air filter, change the fuel filter every single year. Got that?
Every single year! Cheap love often, is the kind of love, riding mowers like best.
I'm not forgeting the oil, it's just that I don't believe in changing that too often on a fricken lawnmower. I've changed mine once in 5 years.
