^Lawnmower's 99% fixed. Had to take the pull-string section off
   an old semi-compatible mower, pop the rivets (which took the
   longest 'til I remembered the trick), bolt the OLD metal section
   holding the pull-string thing to the NEWER mower's case. Then I
   saw why the old rope broke - stuff wrapped around the blade that
   I have to clear - only 10 minutes EXTRA work - but after a few
   hours on the same project, and it's gonna work - no doubt in my
   mind - it was time to throw in the towel and finish some other
   time. Random long weeds don't bother me, and I need a cheering
   team.^
