I swept the backyard with a 12" magnetic sweeper, which took a lot of time, and confirmed that I didn’t find it. The last time I finished cutting the yard, it was already dark, so I didn’t look for it, and I feel it’s also his responsibility (the mechanic) to help me search. I can’t remember if I walked through my backyard to look for it since it’s been a while, but I know when I trimmed the yard with the trimmer (maybe over a month later because the grass was high), I should had seen it, yet I never did. The weather was extremely hot at that time, and I used an Ego trimmer with a 5-amp battery lasting almost 30 minutes because the weeds were so thick and tall. It used a lot of battery power to get the job done. I usually cut only once in late evening, but I cut twice a couple of times, so it took me a week to finish. the whole yard. When I was done, the weeds in the first area were already getting tall again, and I realized the trimmer head was worn out—you could see the string inside so I ordered a new trimming head online—and it's about time for my second surgery coming up,
My theory is that I’ve had problems with thieves at my house for over 20 years, and the police won’t believe me. They’re (THE THIEVES) not just smart, but they are genius-level, able to bypass my alarm system. I have tons of cameras from different brands, motion sensors, door sensors, even trail cameras and hidden cameras, yet I’ve never caught them on tape. They’re knowledgeable in many fields and can pick high-security locks. They don’t just steal; they also sabotage my items. They come to my house pretty often when I’m not home or even at night while I sleep. I know it sounds unbelievable, but if anyone can help me catch the thieves by any trick or means, I have a good reward (and more if I can sue the city/Police) because I want to put them in jail where they belong and prove my story is real, hoping I can sue the police for damages since they don’t do their job. They (the thieve) must have taken this blade because they knew I needed it. When the mechanic removed the decking and left it overnight (to buy the belt to replace it the next day), I covered the mower with a big-size grill cover as I always do when I finish cutting my yard to protect it from the elements & the thieves.
I should get my mower back next week with new blade set, bolt & washer. I will also check the other thread if it needs to be rethreaded. I believe I can install new deck belt, replace the blades & put it back, It might be a little challenge for me since the deck is heavier than me. But I did replace the fuel pump & the fuel tank on my 94 Chevy by myself from watching YouTube because the mobile mechanic would not do it without a lift.
Let me go out of another topic to ask for your help:
My 94 Chevy wouldn’t start—no noise, no crank, no dashboard lights. The day before, the windshield wiper motor seemed to stop working during the rain when I got home, I let it run because I would be out again shorting & the motor work. It’s not the battery. From what I’ve read, I think it’s an electrical issue. Last night, when I crawled under the front of the truck, I was shocked to see a lot of oil covering the bottom of the components. Today I disconnected the OCU wiring and battery for over 30 minutes, then reconnected them. When I put the key in the ignition, there was noise and the dash lights came on, but as soon as I tried to start it, I saw one spark under the hood and it died again—back to no noise. Could the oil be causing this problem? Should I replace the starter, the OCU (which is expensive), or something else? I don’t think it’s the starter relay since I swapped it in before in the past with no change and put the old one back.
