I did get it started, but about killed me. Took out it deep grass, and the darn thing would run but not cut any grass. Push it back in the garage, to check the blade and discovered that he forgot to put the blade back on.

Vertical shaft lawn mowers need a blade to start easy, unless they have a cast iron flywheel.

Just thought I would pass along a true story. Did you forget yours?

Somehow, I know this is a true story by the serious way that you told it. I did want to mention, this was a nice way to end a long day. Yep, it could happen! Thanks for sharing and putting a nice spin on the end of the day with lots of laughter from your unfortunate incident.
