I do not think I am allowed to have motorized landscape maintenance machinery.
When we last left the snowblower, the pin holding the one tire on had fallen out. I went and got a new pin to put tire back on. See here's the thing. Tire would not go back on. I had to remove a tube that was around the one part of the axil to make the tire fit back on and the pin go in.
Today I get home and there is enough snow for need of clearing. Start up snowblower. Starts fine. But it in gear and squeeze the go lever. It no go forward. It no go backward.
Turn off big machine, take tire back off, try put metal tube back on. Tire still not fit. Take tube back off, put tire back on and use physics (as in lean down and push) for machine to go forward and clear driveway enough to get car in.
I finish up and run out of gas.
when I get back this weekend from 12th night, I'll get gas then call Ron the mechanically inclined neighbor who tried to save my lawnmower despite my supreme efforts to kill it to see if he can figure out what's up with the beast.
