[AT] New Lawn Tractor

[Greg Hass]

A few years ago a local independent hardware owner took in a trade on a 
new mower (he sold Simplicity mowers). The trade in was only one year 
old (don't know the make) and did not run. He traded it because he was 
farming and in a hurry and got mad that a one season old mower won't 
run. Obviously, he got very little on the trade as the hardware owner 
had no idea what it would cost to repair it. After a month or so the 
hardware owner told his sons, who worked with him , that they should 
look at the mower and either get it running or scrape it and get it out 
of the way. The long and short of it was that being almost out of gas 
the farmers wife drove it over to the fuel barrels and filled the mower 
with diesel fuel. After draining and flushing the fuel system the 
hardware owner made a good profit on the trade-in.
