Nothing Lasts Forever . . .

Nothing lasts forever or even a reasonable amount of time when it comes to the infamous rough mower. Thought I was going to go 2 weeks in a row without serious mower problems. I was about 30-45 minutes from completing what I had to mow when the boss drove up with his sprayer to tell where he had sprayed. He was about to leave when he notice oil splatters on one of the decks -- what else is new. Opened up the hood and saw engine oil all over the place. It wasn't obvious where it was coming from. After lunch me and Lynn got it back to the shop. There was still oil in the crankcase, but I'm glad the boss saw the splatters. Went about a week and a half without a day ending breakdown. This is the fifth summer they have had it and it has been a near continuous problem since day one. Like I said, 'Nothing lasts forever or even a reasonable amount of time when it come the infamous rough mower.'
