Bought one Craftsman push mower for $5, had another one given to me. Doesn't seem to be much wrong with either one.

They were bought out by either Snapper , or Toro.. Don't remember which..
Don't know who bought the mowers. Black and Decker bought the hand tool line.
Yep, any interruption at all, and I will demand compensation. Gotta get 'em just like they get you.
I believe they are PVC. I know my father had a hard time with the hot water one and replaced the knob multiple times & even replaced the cartridge. Pretty sure it's never been the correct cartridge. I took pictures & tried to upload them but it didn't go through (due to my internet being crappy).
Mine was out for over 12 hours the other day & I spent 4 hours on the phone on hold trying to get through to customer service. There was music and every 15 seconds it repeated a message about going online to their website & how the call was important and they would be with me shortly. Just after the 4 hour mark the message changed and said I reached the office after business hours & to call back later. Then it asked me to complete a customer satisfaction survey & hung up on me. I called back to get a message saying there was a network outage in my area. Mind you, when I initially called, it said my expected wait time was 48min. But, since it is satellite, they will not give $ in compensation for an outage. I've tried. Although, I should probably argue more next time. In the past they would give me extra Gb of data but they are no longer the same company now. They are now called Viasat. I saw them advertising an "unlimited" plan-- which is bogus. They don't do "unlimited".
I went to visit a friend today & got to watch the plight of the carpenter ant on the pavement of his car port. It was trying to move a wet grain of rice that was almost the same size as it's body but it couldn't budge it. After 10 min it started to budge but then the yorkiepoo ran up, pushed the ant aside with her nose, and ate the rice. Cue the ant to totally lose it's mind & run in circles-- just totally freaking out. Friend's gf took pity on it and saw another smaller grain of rice. She put it down in front of the ant, and it calmed down. It was able to pick the new piece of rice up and it then took a convoluted path off of the pavement, in to the grass, and under the leaves.
Also took apart cardboard boxes (Mom had an Amazon shopping spree for Prime day), cleaned up some trash, cleaned the counter in the kitchen, & picked up cat litter from the store. Heat index was 111 so I didn't stay out too long.
Edit: Finally got the pics to load.
The pipes are either PVC for cold & CPVC for hot or they could be galvanized. I would have to move furniture & remove a wall panel to look & my friend borrowed my prybar & hasn't returned it.

The carpenter from the TV show I do came down and built the stuff for the wedding. I helped some, well I sanded the doors.
Never seen a setting like that. Really neat Roland, congratulations.
Hmmmm. I used some super glue yesterday and wiped the end of the nozzle off with a rag cut from some old jeans. The little glob on the fabric hardened up almost instantly. It seemed to feel warm. I got my infrared temperature gun out and squeezed a 1/4 inch drop of adhesive on the rag. Within 20 or 30 seconds it went from 74 degrees to 150 degrees.
...I don't get bored easily.

Worked on an old free lawn mower today, got it running. Two more to go.
The spark plug wire is part of the coil. The coil checks out good on an ohmmeter but getting no fire to the plug. Need to find something to clean the corrosion out of the plug boot. Any ideas, Highup? (2nd mower)
Had no spark on my $5 pressure washer score last summer. I read that they need a lot of RPM to make the spark happen. I was not able to spin it fast enough by hand. I read that the coil assemblies rarely fail.
My problem was the carburetor . Holes on the jet, the diameter of a wire brush wire were plugged up. They weren't even visible.
Had to find the correct carb model exploded diagram, then looked closely at the actual photos from a parts website.

Corrosion inside the boot might not be a huge deal as it doesn't take much metal contact to allow the flow of current. Maybe a pencil with a wrap of 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper on it.
That stuff can be dangerous. My friend's grandfather had a small bottle of superglue in his pocket (no idea why) and it leaked out-- gave him 2nd degree burns to his leg. This was just last month.Hmmmm. I used some super glue yesterday and wiped the end of the nozzle off with a rag cut from some old jeans. The little glob on the fabric hardened up almost instantly.

Pull the sparkplug and spray starting fluid inside, put the plug back and pull the rope. If it is getting fire, it will try to start and then you know it is a fuel problem.
