Everyone is an idiot now. If you’re not an idiot over the next 40 years, you stand to make a fortune.

I have seen @MJ DeMarco mention picking up the phone and being on time is now a value skew in some industries. It’s ridiculous that it’s so true.

I’m looking for a simple lawn mower part. It has the name of the company that machined it, and the part number. Taking it off, I was like “lucky me” this should be super simple to track down.

I was wrong.

I called the store I bought the lawn mower from. I called three small engine repair companies. I searched Google. I called the actual lawn mower manufacturer and I called the company that machined the part for the lawn mower manufacturer.

I literally want to give someone my money for something I know each of them has had at some point.

No luck. Remember I have the part number and the name of the company that made it stamped right on it. Best I have found are chinchy part websites with back order options.

I’ve spent too much time on this. I’m just going to buy a new lawn mower unless @Johnny boy has solid parts guy for me to call. :rofl:
