Mower #2 ....
OK, maybe I need to start another thread...
This morning, there was
another electric mower at the curb - literally at the neighbouring house to the one that chucked out the battery mower last week.
This one's a small "corded" 110v AC machine, 7A rating.
The handle is pretty bent, and has been repaired (not very well) a few times. I knocked on the door to make sure they were actually throwing it out:
"Yup!"
"Does the motor work?"
"Yup -that handle is no good. Squashed it with the car."
So I rolled it over to my place, plugged it in and cut the grass with it
. The handle definitely needs some patching/welding - it's work fatigued in several spots (not too far from breaking) and has been lightly patched up with tin & screws.
And 7A
might be small enough that the inverter at the shack will be able to fire it up so I can cut the grass there with the solar power setup.
Gives me something to use while I'm sorting out the battery situation.
