HAHA Thats a good way to need new blades..

If that was my old Gravely mower you would be replacing the water line..

I hit my front stairs with it once and it took a chunk of brick off..

It had a 30" blade that was thicker than todays blades.. Old timer that was build real well

I was afraid I bent the shaft, but it seems OK no vibrations or anything...

I guess that is the important thing..

Cheaper to replace a blade than the whole mower..

IPAD2 (I believe) with the camera..

Got it for nothing.. It is one that my SIL got at the casino as a gift.. She is not technical so it is a waste in her hands..

She still has trouble with email..

I thought about that too, but wasn't sure about the shaft being bent, so I only got one, I can always order another one online, but I was halfway done, and the lawn couldn't have made it another day, it was already way too deep and wet.
