Are People Getting Dumber?

Fellow at work was given a brand new tiller. Complaint from the fellow that bought it was... it just hopped around on the ground. Would not dig.(Note: Why not take it back) A friend of mine took it home and turned the diggers around correctly and it worked great. He made me promise no to tell once he found the problem. That was 20/25 years ago and the guy that gave it to my friend has since passed away. I guess i can tell it now.

i get several mowers a year that are like brand new, but cut lousy. hopefully the guy assembeling them at Lowes never figures out how to put the blades on the right way cause I make out good on those ones

Have the same experience on the tiller deal. Been using the free tiller for 3 years now. Another neighbor gave me a walk behind weed mower he bought at an auction. He said it pulled, and pulled, and pulled, and pulled, etc... and it still would not start. He said if you want to rebuild the engine (8 hp b&s) you can have it. When I went to his house to get it I tried not to laugh... IT HAD NO COIL.
