Belt broke. Not a big deal, it was due. So I ordered the replacement and got my dad to help since taking the deck of is an annoying PITA.

We replaced it, took 20 minutes or so. Go to test it and dad says my blade must be dull as heck. He takes a look and…

      Ooh, lookit Mr. Fancy Mower over here! Haha.
