How can I fix a hole in my lawn mower deck?

It's a push mower, and I can't afford to buy a new lawn mower.

The hole is small, but the deck can no longer support the weight of the mower because the hole is in a corner.

Answer
clean the area down to bare metal and use a LOT of JB Weld. (its a strong epoxy made for pretty much exactly this) I'd use duct tape under the hole to hold it in place while it sets but don't press it tight to the metal right around the hole, let it sag a bit so the epoxy has a lot of metal to hold on to.

keep in mind you can find really cheap working mowers in most areas. I've been using a $30 mower for 2 years and the one before that was $50 or so.

Why does our furnace blower sound like a lawn mower running?

Zackary H

We have a Luxaire Furnace that is only about 5 years old. It was working perfectly fine until a couple of days ago when we noticed the furnace was keeping the house a couple of degrees below what it was set to. Not thinking much of this considering the season change, we ignored it until last night. All of a sudden, when the blower kicked on, it sounded like a lawn mower was running in our basement. I pulled the panel and the blower looks like it is brand new, but it is for sure where the sound is coming from. As it shuts off, the sound slows down until it stops.. much like a small gas motor. Considering it is warming up and we do not need the furnace running right away, I would like to try to tackle this problem myself. So where should I start? Does it sound like the blower needs replaced for some reason? It is a Swirlwind High Performance Blower. Thanks!
