My aunt hit a rock with her push mower. She asked to see if it could be fixed.
Diagnosis: bent rod. Not worth fixing. I put the thing at the end of the
driveway with a sign "FREE". My wife said many neighbors would stop & look then
walk away after she told them I had decided it was unrepairable. "Well, if HE
can't fix it, I know I can't."
Finally some kid took it for the wheels.
