Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Lol I forgot about the double wall. My expansion section isnt...

But also, it plus the heat shield have been in place for something like 4 years and have had zero bad things happen so far. So I guess it works lol

 

You just can’t stop tinkering…

 

It seems we all share the lack of ability to keep our hands off of things.

 

You weren’t supposed to bring up that point!

 

Ok, so I’m just out mowing my lawn a few minutes ago and it starts making a kinda wobbly, rattle sound which I thought was a bit odd, but I went on, trying to get the damned job done… at the end of a row, I turn around. Wheel falls off!
So I’m thinking, no big deal, find the f’ing bolt and put it back on.
Nooooo…. F’ing plastic wheel, broke off around the hub! Shit.

So I’m in a major brain freeze kind a quandary here.

I need help from the group bigly!

Here’s my options:

a) Order a replacement wheel from Amazon for $25 and fix the damned thing.

b) Go to Farm & Fleet (my favorite toy store) and buy a new mower.

Here’s what caught my eye:

HELP!

 

Follow the advice here-buy a new mower... I missed a really good deal on a Kubota zero turn today Might be lucky tomorrow!

 

Buy a new wheel.


Earlier this summer I had the hub break off the front wheel of the Husky rider.

 

You can buy replacement wheels at Farm and Fleet probably. I know FleetFarm has them.

 

@Pixeltim

With the money you save getting a new wheel you can spend on your truck/camper.

 

Ok, now that answer makes perfect sense!

Normally my broken male brain would go for the way cool shiny new toy, but when you frame it properly…

 

I checked, they don’t have ones for Toro SP4 lawn mowers.
However, Amazon came to the rescue!

 

Nice! I just saw a bunch of universal ones when I was looking. I thought maybe you could just make something work

 

It’s a geared one for the self propelled part of it.

 

I say new wheel...and make your neighbors continue to choke on the dead dino fumes.

 

I like your style!

 

You know, if you go electric and cause the grid to go down, you'll be the azzhole!

 

I usually like to “maintain” things to the point of breakage lol. Keeps me busy I guess

 

Hey, I have a Honda generator!

 

Probably gas too! Either Madison people are bad teachers or someone's a slow learner...

 

Both?
