Don't Laff to hard it has been holding air all night. It had a piece of wire in it probably hit it with the blade and threw it thru the side of the tire. It was too long to leave in there so I cut the wire off and of course pulled out the wire. Last time I took a lawn mower to the tire shop they said they could not patch them because they are vinyl not rubber and patches and plugs won't stick. Not in the mood to spend money on new tires at this point (Homeowners insurance due June 1 and it has tripled in the last 3 years!) Also did what is supposed to be a simple oil change on the 30 hp Kohler engine. Easiest way for me to get to the drain tube is to pull the starter off so you will see the drain and starter. And yes, I have thought about rerouting the drain but next to impossible to do the way the frame is. Next is the oil filter. Had to use Channel Locks to get the filter off. Sure I have a oil filter wrench the correct size but the filter is so close to the frame you can't get the wrench on it! Some where a Kohler/Dixon Egineer is sitting on the creek bank drinking beer and fishing and laffing their a$$ off because they designed this the week they retired.
Also took the blades off and touched them up. They were in much better shape than I expected. They are at least 3 years old maybe 4 and I do a lot of mowing with my mower.
