3 years ago I had to change the drive belt on my lawn runner, I could not really figure it but after taking most of it apart I did it . I remember saying i dread doing that again
well I had to fix it last year and this week had no choice already . so i went to it .
and guess what - I took battery out with battery holding plate , and darn but my new found experience of taking apart almost any thing that walks and talks - had me looking at it way different. I took a base ball bat and used it as a lever to set pulley in position, then a chunk short steel to hold pulley in position like a wedge . I then slipped on the belt total time 6 min.
No question the dismantling of scrap creates better ability to trouble shoot and I'd like honorable mention to better math skills from the scale in associating weight to $$ - I now know what different metals are,
from sight - weight - color - ability to bend or feel - also seeing what I scrap, actually does before i scrap it, is another whole new mind blowing thing in itself .
In no way has scraping caused me to be brain dead as other jobs can cause .
