Lost wing knob and nut that holds the handle onto the mower
5 of 25 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Paul from NIXA, MO
  • Very Difficult
  • More than 2 hours
Can't do the repair. You sent me the two wing knobs I ordered, but no nuts. No one sells the nuts. I've driven all over trying to find them. Wasted my money and a lot of time. Zip ties are holding the handle on. I sent an email to customer service asking for the nuts, never heard a word from anyone. Another great example of how no t to run a business.
