I did a total rewire and the little guy pop'd right off. COOL.
Decided to check the condition of the blade.
Didn't realize it came with the new JD Grass Wacker blade. The cutting edge still had the factory grinding marks but the lift wings were a little chewed up!
After flipping the blade it is a good little cutting machine, and no, I don't think it would run a 38" deck.
Anybody have an idea how to plug this hole in the pedestal?
Too small and not deep enough for a CD player. I got no idea what the PO had in his mind.
