What is the similarity between a human and a pile of dogshiit?




Android H1


I'll tell you the answer when I chose best answer.


Answer
Dog Shit
No lengthy, philosophical examination of dog shit would be complete without first pondering more existential questions like why dogs shit, and how. The answers may surprise and delight you. There are many interlocking components to the dog shit process. Food eaten by a dog (cupcakes, floppy disks, corn dogs, Vicodin) must first be processed into simpler, smaller elements suitable for delivery via the bloodstream to muscle and fatty tissue in the canine's body.

The digestive system of your dog begins at the lips and finishes under the tail, at a puckering donut-shaped curiosity scientists have nicknamed the anus. When you see a dog (or cat) who appears to be licking his or her own balls, it's more likely the animal is suffering from anal gland disease. Both the external anal sphincter and anal sac can become impacted or infected as the result of contaminants left behind by the anus, leading to feelings of pain and pressure best relieved by several hours of enthusiastic licking. The domesticated dog's alternative to licking is the act of scooting or scootching -- sliding one's anus across a coarse or thickly carpeted floor to soothe "itchy" feelings near the tail and hindquarters. Another reason for licking and scooting might be worms, a subject beyond the range of this modest tutorial. For those interested in further study, putting dog shit under a microscope can yield a full afternoon of excitement and wonder. Monocystis sporocysts are wiggly, protozoan parasites visible in the feces of dogs who have eaten infected earthworms.


Cells in a dog's body naturally generate waste by-products which must be eliminated through the kidneys, the lungs, the skin and digestive system. These organs are part of a larger excretory system. Of course, not everything a dog eats can be digested properly, or even used to store energy. The unwanted digestive material left behind on city sidewalks and community dog parks is called feces in America, and faeces to those residing in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Wales, or Scotland.

In Sydney, Australia, one can find over 100 tons of fresh dog shit dumped on the ground each day. Rich in phosphorous, Australian dog shit washes down hills after torrential rains, killing plant life.


There used to be an old joke: How do you tell an American in Paris? He's the one picking the shit up after his dog. Americans stopped picking up dog shit a long time ago, preferring instead to pantomime picking up dog shit when witnesses at the dog park are present but still too far away to see if there's really anything in your hand. It's been universally acknowledged that France has the worst metropolitan dog shit problem. Each day, Parisian sidewalks, alleys and gutters are choked to excess with ten tons of golden brown, oven-baked baguettes left behind by the city's 200,000 dogs. It's been estimated that in a single year, six hundred people break a limb after slipping on French dog shit -- and in recent years, failure-to-pick-up fines have grown to five hundred dollars per loaf.


And yes, in France there really is a Dog Shit Patrol: a subclass of the Parisian police force which manifests itself in a brigade of sixty-or-so green lawnmower motorcycles. These patrol vehicles search and scan for errant piles, circumnavigating city streets deemed most popular by tourists and politicians. Meanwhile, obese dogs are rapidly catching up to overweight French kids, with their sagging stomachs and bulging sides capable of depositing increasingly larger and more voluminous pockets of dog shit.

Every few months, dog shit gets tracked in by the news. Investigators discover "rooms filled with dog feces" in homes where neglected, emaciated children await rescue. Hundreds of animals are liberated from "cages lined with filthy dog droppings," in the homes of animal hoarders. Inevitably, whenever police storm into a person's home and encounter piles of garbage, the chances of discovering "piles of dog shit" are exponentially increased.

If you're an animal hoarder who resides in a rural apartment complex with a strict no-dogs-allowed policy, you can still get several hundred fake dogs. In its first week on the U.S. market, the Nintendo corporation sold a quarter-million units of Nintendogs: small, handheld devices which simulate the high-polygon dog ownership experience while tastefully eliminating the need for mylar poo bags.

If the idea of feeding, walking, and playing with fake dogs doesn't tickle your fancy, maybe you'd prefer a house full of fake dog shit, which comes in a variety of shapes. Machine-molded plastic dollops and rubberized poostuffs are key staples of novelty shops around the world. This "gag" gift makes it possible for apartment dwellers (or the financially disadvantaged) to circumvent traditional health code regulations and simulate the everyday presence of

Years ago I tweaked my back snowboarding like 17 years ago i was ok thought I broke my back but I WAS ok. Now today I was pushing a lawn mower up a hill and my foot slipped causing me to lunge forward in an awkward position it hurt a bit no pop just a weird feeling. Now the top of my legs or quads are numbish I feel out of balance I may have broken my back just today without even realizing it?


Answer
No, most likely you slipped a disc or you already had a spinal hernia and the fall has made it protrude a little more, compressing your nerves and giving you that numb feeling.
You will not be able to move if you had broken your back.
I strongly suggest a visit to your doctor or even a&e just to rule out any serious trauma.
Good luck.

What is the cheapest (and easiest) way to kill wild raspberry bushes, as well as small maple trees?




Bumblesnor


Steep hill with wild raspberry bushes,weeds and small maple trees that started growing from the seeds of a nearby adult tree. Lawn mower cuts off when trying to mow it down, and a weed whacker is a joke. What is the cheapest thing to dump on this hill so that all life (including grass) ceases to exist?


Answer
Glyphosate (Roundup) or BrushBGon will kill everything they touch. If it's feasible, get the area bush-hogged beforehand and immediately treat. This will make cleanup easier, but it's not necessary. Very stubborn brush may take a second treatment.

are electric lawn mower better than gas?

best lawn mower electric or gas on 19 Gas Lawn Mower | Sears.com | Nineteen Gas Lawn Mower
best lawn mower electric or gas image



MATADOR


I am thinking about buying a lawn mower, electric or gas, does anyone has any experience on the different benefits you can get from either one?, would also like to know what are good brands.
By the way , I do have a small front and back yard.



Answer
Another option is a manual mower. I've been using one for a few years on a small .25 acre lot. It takes me about 45 minutes to do my lawn. The only drawbacks are it doesn't cut tall or wet grass very well. If you cut weekly - or sometimes more - it does quite well.

You don't have to worry about gas or batteries or cords. Just pull it out and start mowing. Best of all, it's quiet.

Does an electric cordless lawn mower work as well as a gas powered one?




Anna


I am needing a new lawn mower and with the price of gas, I was wondering if the electric ones are any good. I can't imagine having a cord attached, so I would want a rechargable one.


Answer
In the right circumstances a cordless will work fine. No, they're not as powerful as gas, and if you have a really large area to cut, one charge won't do it. You can buy extra batteries though they're not cheap. I have a 24v cordless and am very happy with it. It's light and easy to push. It's quiet enough that I can cut the lawn without making the neighbours close their windows. I cut about 100' x100' on one charge unless the grass is wet or too long. It cuts over small branches in the lawn with no trouble. I'd be using a lot of extension cord to reach all the areas with a corded one, and I hate the noise of gas ones, futzing around with fuel, and yanking on the cord.

What all things should I see for before buying a dog?

best lawn mower india on Husqvarna Chainsaw Parts For Sale
best lawn mower india image



shubham s


I am buying a choclate labrador from apet shop(reputed one) ....he is saying will take me to the breeder and he is aka or whatever it is registered...will give me my puppy with breed certificate and papers and first vaccination...
Plz tell me what all things I should do before buying it and what all things should I see for...and also I am gonna house train him only(advises needed)
And what is the best lab food available in india..



Answer
A play pen or a puppy pen are really handy as they keep your puppy safe and out of trouble but they still get to be near you.
Of course you will need a collar,
lead (light weight),
lots of toys (only give him access to a couple at a time so he doesnt get bored of them.)
Crate (optional) good for house training and to sleep in. make sure you get one big enough for the grown do and section it off for now.
food and water bowls
Kennel or bed


when buying him you want to see that he is healthy, check his eyes and ears for any problems, feel him all over checking for any lumps or bumps and fleas while seeing if he is happy for his body to be handled.
If he is with other litter mates, see how he acts with them. Is he always the first to eat and start play time etc? then you might have a dominant dog on your hands and have your work cut out for you. Dont assume that if the puppy is sleeping that it will be a calm dog.

For house training, if you have a crate, after a long period of time confined, take him straight out to the desired toilet area and say "go pee!" if your puppy does pee, make sure you give him LOTS of praise. Never punish your dog for peeing inside or rub his face in it for this will only make the problem worse while loosing your dogs trust.
After feeding, sleeping or drinking, always make sure you take your puppy to the toilet area and make sure you go frequently as they can not hold on for long periods (this time will increase as they grow)

You will want to socialize your puppy as soon as you have finished all the puppy vaccs (ask your vet for when this will be) at such a young age, it is a crutial time for them to meet new dogs and people. You want to introduce them to as MANY sights sounds dogs and people as you can a day, try 100 a week. Sights sounds and objects could mean reflections, vacuum cleaners, brooms, lawn mowers, and moving things like cars bikes and skate boards. You want them to meet a variety of people such as young kids to the elderly. You want them to play with all kinds of dogs big and small and you want to take them to as many places as you can so they can be comfortable in the world areound them. Also it can be really helpful if you introduce them to other animals like cats rabbits and maybe even horses or cows.

You will also want to do some basic obedience like learning sit, lay down, wait, no, stay etc and this can be taught as soo as you get it. look up videos on how to teach these if you dont know.

Good luck :)

How can you practice acting at home?




Akeem


I can't afford a acting class right now, so are there any exercises I can practice at home?


Answer
I'm in acting class, I'll be able to help you!
What we do, is when we get scripts, (you can get one at your school or public library or what I like to do is look up movie scripts online!) start out reading each line slow to fast, opposite, and loud to whisper, opposite. Another great way my teacher told me is a good actor starts out with actions. So the beggining of the year we only wrote Pantomimes ( hope I spelled that right) which is scripts with stage directions or Monolugue. It tells you what the setting is, when the actor cries/smiles/jumps/etc. and what the actor does such as mowing the lawn and then struggingly fixes the suddenenly broken lawn mower. Once you can do that, you are ready to act with actuall scripts. the part where the actor talks is called Dialogue.
Excercises we do is sitting or standing in a circle and calling out movie quotes one person at a time, but you only get a few seconds to say something before you get kicked out and the circle goes smaller.

The next Excersice we do (U might need a friend for this one, or write a list on a peice of paper) is our teacher yells out random things like AIRPLANE! ZOMBIES! RUN! SKIP! WAITER! ROYAL BALL! SWASHBUCKLING PIRATES! etc. and we act like we are the character he says.

Another one we do is; A person is chosen to say any letter. (the object of the game is to figure out what word the previos person is trying to spell and you try to continue that word with the letter you choose) the next person says a reasonable letter to continue the word until the word is complete. (note: the word almost always changes than the intended word)

My favorite excersize is when a person names a category such as countries. every1 starts in a circle with one hand up. the 1st person brings thier arm down and points to another person and says "India!" that person then says any other country besides "India" and you play a few times until you got it down. Now you add another category and play that a few times. after that you do both at the same time. ( there must be different starters for each category in order to do this) you just keep adding and see how far you can go.

sorry i don't have any one person games.

aaaaaaaaaaand ACTION!

My LT180 John Deere riding lawn mower has a Kawasaki engine in it and currently has a Kawasaki oil filter 49065-7010. I can't find this at any store (ie. Home Depot, Lowes, Sears). Is there a retailer I can find it at? Has this filter been replaced with a different model? Can I use a different filter? Thanks!


Answer
The WIX brand filter number is 51394.
I service lots of equipment and trucks. wix is the "preferred aftermarket " brand for me. they have a great web site, you Just put in the filter number you have an it will give you the wix number. Wix is sold at almost all parts stores, auto supply houses,ect. They usually stock more wix than any other brand. Wix will also have the air and fuel filters ect. super easy if you have almost any brand or OEM filter number. I use wixfilters dot com a lot.

Josh


Hi, I'm researching for a friend of mine who is looking for an MTD lawn mower. It HAS to have an automatic transmission (she's stubborn that way). Can anyone tell me if MTD even makes automatic transmissions? If not, can you recommend a brand of lawn mower I should look into for an automatic transmission. This woman is so stubborn, she will not take it unless it has a gas and brake pedal on the right side. She will not be happy otherwise.


Answer
MTD does make mowers with automatic transmissions, but I don't know if they are sold under the MTD name. I know Lowe's, Home Depot, and Tractor Supply sell MTD products, and I'm sure there are other stores as well.

MTD also makes mowers under alot of other names, including Troybilt sold at Lowes, lots of store brands. Usually you can look under the seat or hood and it will show the manufacturer. So if she is set on an MTD you can braoden your search.

Hope this helps,

Something that adjusts to my walking pace and has a bag (side or rear) Also can someone explain what the difference a side or rear bag would male.
My lot is a flat lot about 0.3 acres. My budget is around 400-600 dollars



Answer
Troy-Bilt $379.00
7.75 Torque 21" Self-Propelled Gas Mower
Item #: 303531 Model: TB340 XP

This is a very good mower where the self-propelled speed is determined by how fast you walk. Its a commercial mower at a home owner's price.

Rear bag verse side bag: Well first off its hard to find a side bagger these days, they're just not popular and here's why. Rear baggers were designed so that if you have several obstacles in your yard, (trees ETC...) you can maneuver around them from either side without changing directions, the down side is side bags are a little larger (not much). That's about it.

What is a good reliable weed trimmer?




SLM


I need a weed trimmer and I don't know what kind to buy. I need to weed eat my fence line and I have five acres. I already have a riding lawn mower, push mower and weed hog. I have used electric weed trimmers and they haven't worked so well. Where can I get a good gas weed trimmer?


Answer
Don't use an electric one. If you are above 5.10, you need to get one with a straight shaft and not one that is curved.

Best brands are Stihl, Echo, Huscavarna, and I have had good luck with a toro also. See if you can find one with a Honda Engine on it.

You want to get a high quality trimmer that allows you to replace the line very easily. With 5 acres you are going to have to let the line out 7 or 8 times. Also get a heavy duty one that uses a thicker line so you won't have to keep replacing it. Best Luck!

best lawn mower height image



shakenbake


Our self propel toro recycler 20138 20016 lawn mower is running very well except the self propel stopped working, so I went through the diagnostic process and concluded that the wire properly ingages the self propel and the belt properly turns the self propel pulley, but both the gear turned by the pulley and the gear on the axle are worn down. So I have taken the axle off of the lawn mower to try to get the gear off (I removed all of the clips, washers, wheels, height adjusters, etc. too) but I can't get the gear on the axle off due to a pin holding it on. I've been hammering at this thing for hours and it wont come out, is there some special way I can remove this pin, or is it part of the axle and can't be removed or what? I'm hoping to not have to buy a new axle but rather just the two new gears because I'm trying to save money doing this but if need be ill buy the bew axle I guess, and I may need help removing the other gear attached to the pulley, or I may not, I just haven't gotten to it yet because of this pain in the neck axle gear.

Q. Are you using a mulching lawn mower, or are you still bagging the cuttings?


Answer
I was always told by the old men at the hardware store in my city that all good tools would last nearly a lifetime if they were cleaned properly after each use. So, always did that....and my children were glad to get all my gardening and other tools when I sold my house....they had all been top quality tools when I bought them, and I cleaned and oiled them after each use.

So, I think you should clean & service your lawn mower at the end of the season.

I liked bagging the cuttings. Would edge the lawn first...then blow all the edgings into the lawn. Then I would run the mower over the lawn....and have very little to "blow" later....as the mower picked up all the edging debris that had been blown into the lawn. I liked having the grass clippings to take to a large compost area in my back yard....where I was like an old witch brewing up my "special compost".

I think leaving the clippings in the lawn leads to poor aeration of the soil....creates a thatched barrier prone to mold as it decomposes. Just my opinion.

How do I choose a lawn mower?




no1gal


I have a slightly big backyard and the grass hasn't been cut since winter began, anywho, what type of lawn mower should I get? push/electric/gas? bag or no bag?... how hard is it to use a push lawm mower?
Thanks!



Answer
Get a gas powered rotary mower. You will have to decide if you want self propelled or not. Mulching mowers tend to clog frequently unless you mow frequently. If the grass is going to get any length between mowings you will not be happy with a mulching mower. Bags need to be emptied several times on a lawn of any size. Some mowers can go from rear bagging to mulching to side discharge just by changing some attachments. The new engines from Briggs and Stratton are as dependable as anything else, even Honda. One important thing to consider is how comfortable is the handle. Also check how easy it is to adjust the height. One final point, Don't buy a mower from Walmart or Home Depot. Go to a dealer with a parts and service department.

I have an electric lawn mower, are there battery packs available for such a lawn mower?




Candace


I have an electric lawn mower. I love that its 'green', but to run the mower, I have to plug it in to a huge extension cord. I have a small yard, but I wish I could find a rechargeable battery pack or something for it. Are there rechargeable batteries that I could plug my mower into?


Answer
You cannot convert a 110v mower to, in most cases, an eighteen volt battery pack type without an entirely different motor and spending much more money than the mower is worth. Gotta question for you. What is so green about electricity? That electricity has to be generated somehow. Diesel and coal burning plants, or water power with enormous dams that obstruct waterways and kill wildlife, timber cleared and graded right of ways for power lines, giant oil and pcb filled transformer and substations that were all built with heavy hydrocarbon emitting equipment and still maintained with more of the same equipment. All of the materials for this fine grid of green had to be logged, mined or drilled for. Even solar and wind power stations didn't just bloom there.
Sorry, you are an innocent victim of my diatribe, but in spite of what the power companies like to spout, and once electricity is generated and delivered it doesn't cause anymore pollutants, at least as we know now, it still isn't "green".

Answer
I can't speak for lawnmowers specifically, but generally the best time to buy a product with a seasonal usage is right after the season has ended and no one needs one. That's usually when retailers will cut prices to get rid of that year's stock. So while mowing season ended a month or two ago (depending on where you live) there's probably some good deals still to be had right now.

I am starting a local lawn mowing business 20-30 yards and am wondering what kind/type of mower will i need to get. I am 16 and am looking to by a truck too. For the lawn mower price range up to $1200. For the truck up to $8000. Also if i were to charge per sq. ft. what is a good unit price?



Answer
If you are planning on starting a lawn business, I assume you plan on making this a long term venture? If this is so, purchasing "cheap" equipment is a No No! If your gonna commit time and effort into doing a good job for your clients, you need to have at least a mid-priced, commercial grade mower, one that will last more than the 2 months you will get by purchasing a cheaper one. 20 - 30 yards a week is alot of wear and tear on the engine, power drive, cables, and pull string as well as the blade shaft. One week of this wear and tear mowing is as much as the normal homeowner would put on a mower in a "years" time. To keep from having to fix this cheaper mower when it breaks down you need a good one. If the mower isn't cutting, you aren't making any money, and not to mention having to deal with a few irate clients complaining that their lawns are looking scraggly and unmowed because you couldn't mow it that week. You need to at least spend $375.00 - $500.00 smackers on a semi-commercial mower. There are many brands that carry heavier built mowers and these include, Honda, Toro, and Snapper. These 3 are my only choices. Check out each brand and make sure you get one with at least 3.5 horsepower with 4.0 - 5.0 being even better yet. Make sure that you get one with a "rear" wheel power drive. The front wheel drives really suck and are hard to keep straight when putting "stripes" and "designs" on the turf. Mowing the tree wells (circle around base of trees) is more difficult as well. Always bag the clippings when mowing. The customer is paying for a clean, manicured yard and that is just what you should provide. Get a quality lawn edger as well. A sharp edge on the walkways and driveway gives that added clean cut appearance after you have left the property. And make sure to blow or sweep off the concrete walks, driveway, and patios of the spent clippings that have been thrown out from under the deck before leaving (this needs to be done lastly). And when you get the mower be sure that it is a 4 cycle engine (straight gas, no mix) it makes for faster and easier work not having to mix oil and gas all the time. Hope this has been helpful and good luck on your new venture. You will get a great sense of accomplishment from this type of work, not to mention a whole bunch of knowledge about turf, trees & shrubs, diseases, and insects. The best part is the $money$ that can be made if you get good at it...

...Added Info: You don't want to charge by the sq.ft. for your services. It's better to charge by each individual property. Naturally, the bigger the square footage of turf, the more you will charge (time is money). The local economy and the type of neighborhoods you will be working in will have alot to do with your price range. Naturally, higher class homes will bring in more cashflow. A standard price would be $100.00 a month for edging, mowing, and blowing off of the property. Tell the customer that you will spend 1 hr a week doing the work, 4 times a month, which comes out to to 4 hrs total work time. Which means that you are working at a $25.00 an hour rate, which is pretty good money for a 16 yr old. This of course, is for an average size yard with around 2,000 sq. ft. of turf. If its less or more you can adjust the price accordingly (up or down).

How to make $500 into $600 or more in months?




iciegirl


I have around $500 with me and would like to increase it more to maybe $100 in 1 or 2 months time. What should I do? I'm currently unemployed to take care of family.


Answer
Mowing lawns is a good option, you could buy an old lawn mower for under 100 dollars. Mow about 4 lawns per day at around 25 dollars. You make 100 dollars per day, and if you work three days a week. You are making 300 dollars per week, part time. Therefore you make 1,200 in a months time.

You could wash cars, you could charge 20 dollars to wash a car. You should be able to do about 4 cars in two hours. Charge around 20 dollars and you make around 80 dollars per day. If you want to make more money you could detail cars, you make around 125 dollars on average for detailing cars. But it require more work to do, if you choose this route. The best product to get is optimum no rinse and go on the forum called autopia and autogeek.

Next start an office cleaning or window cleaning business, you can get all of the equipment for under 100 dollars.

Brilliant beautiful gardeners, owners would be cool, riding lawn tractors other than JD for maint of 3 acres?

SC, 8 acres total, 3 mowed weekly. Best advice on model that can handle weekly mowing of 3+ acres, flat, sandy. Present Deere can't take the strain, poor dear.

Thank you.



Answer
Forget about buying a lawn tractor. Buy yourself a small diesel powered tractor with a belly mower (Kabota 2300, 7800) would be good sizes. You will pay more to start, but it will last considerably longer. You can also buy implements like tillers, blades, backhoe, etc for the tractor.

How much electrical power can I get out of a riding lawn mower?

John


If I got in a pinch during a power outage and connected a 12 volt to 110 volt power convertor to the battery of my lawn tractor (via a cigarette lighter connection that I can install), how much power would be available? I have a typical $900 Lowes lawn mower with a 15.5 HP Briggs engine. And I don't have the power convertor yet, so I can buy any size.


Answer
Well that's a good source of power ..but its not very much... the charge rate is about 5amps...maybe a little more right after cranking so lets just say its 7amps...and has a 10amp fuse in there somewhere..7 amps at 12 volts is 84watts ..Now the little battery in the lawn mower is good for about 120amps for about 60 seconds...then it melts...or it can put out 12amps for 600 seconds or 6 amps for about 20 minutes...so if you can run what you need off the battery plus the charging rates your in business..However if your really wanting to use the lawnmower to its absolute best..you might find the drive belt and make an adapter so you could run a 12vdc alternator which charges a deep cycle battery that in turn is connected to an inverter and get a good 1200 watts at 120volts for quite awhile..They really were made to cut grass though..if I could just get my kids on it...Oh well!..From the E

Removing a lawn mower blade adapter help?

best lawn mower engine oil on LAWN MOWER TRADER � Lawn Mowers
best lawn mower engine oil image



Cory


Ok so I am overhauling a lawn mower engine and replacing the gaskets, trying to remove the blade adapter. It will NOT come off. I used a little hand torch and I wasn't able to get the adapter cherry red but I used a crank puller various times, used penetrating oil, I even used kerosene on the thing to set it a fire, I banged the hell out of it with a hammer, and it just wont come off. There is no loose rust on it, but the thing is over 10 years old. Any ideas or thoughts?? I tried different things throughout the past 2 weeks and its not working.


Answer
If it screws on try removing it in a clockwise direction. It that doesn't work then I would say two weeks of trying is long enough. Take it to a lawn mower repair service.

What are the consequences if I overfill with oil on a lawn mower engine?




Sabastien


I decided to get rid of some oil and i decided to change my lawn mower oil. I had some left and went ahead and poured the whole bottle in there. The oil level is just a bit higher than the "High" market. My engine is burning a little oil. How much can this damage my engine?


Answer
Being a little over full shouldn't cause damage.It may result in an increase in oil splash withing the crankcase which may allow some oil to enter the crankcase breathing tube.This oil will be drawn into the carby and may result in some smoke blowing or possibly some spark plug fowling.The engine my seem a little less powerful due to increased drag on the crankshaft caused by a higher than standard oil level.

Lawn mower makes a loud clanking sound when its running?




Harp Bassi


I hit a rock while I was cutting the grass, now the lawn mower when its running is making a loud clanking sound. The blade is not hitting the deck underneath. It seems like it is from engine. When I pull the rope I hear a clank. Any ideas


Answer
I have a similiar problem - not sure if it is exactly the same. You may be in a better situation. There is a rod underneath that connects to the blade. It is likely that this rod has been knocked out of place (warped). It leads to the clanking sound and vibration. That is depending upon how big the rock was and how much damage it was able to do. Check to see if it vibrates a lot when you start it. If it does as well then the rod might be bent out of place.

I checked with my warranty people and they reffered me to a local shop. At the local lawnmower repair shop he stated that this repair would not be in the warranty since it is considered neglect and not normal wear and tear. (I got similiar information from the Home Depot Manager - he was not sure if that was the case but he did cover it with me). The guy at the repair shop stated that it was not worth fixing. That I might as well go and buy another mower.

My blade is not hitting - I did put a new blade on since the old blade was warped. Which of course increased the vibration making it much worse - really showing me the problem.
