Oh wow I wrapped part of the lawn mower around a light post

[LaurenG]

Now the mower is stuck and it looks like the only way to get unstuck is to move it sideways but it weighs a lot and I can't budge it. I was trying so hard to get it done as a surprise to my husband. I think he'll be really surprised. Maybe I should just run away! :hide:

[datasuspect]

1. you want me to come over and take off the back wheel?

that would do the trick

[LaurenG]

3. Yes and then help me move it - it weighs a million pounds

:-(

[datasuspect]

5. deflate the tire

and shimmy it back and forth - it might pop out.

2. If it went in that way, it should go out that way.

It looks like if you push it slightly forward then spin it immediately to the right that it will unhook.

Not that I know, certainly, but from what those photos show there may be an escape route. Good luck! :hi:

[LaurenG]

7. Thanks for the good luck!

I tore the lawn up spinning its wheels.

4. Looks like a zero turn radius mower Try this:

Turn the front wheels all the way to the right and put it in the lowest (slowest) gear and see if you can ease it to the right. I see how you got into the predicament (I think).
Anything you can drive into you can usually drive out of.

[LaurenG]

9. Ok I'll go try it

thanks!

[trof]

11. Having said that, Miz t. got the pickup hung on the mailbox once.

I was on a trip.
A town cop stopped and tried to get it off, but just made it worse.
They wound up taking the mailbox off the tree to free the truck.
His parting words were "You husband's gonna KILL you!"
She said "NO HE WON'T!"

She was right.
We had a good laugh about it.

6. Hahahahahahaha!!!

That's something I would do. :yourock:

He will be surprised and realize that it's the thought that counts. :hug:

[LaurenG]

10. Damn mower driver : (

I just got over being afraid of it too!

[Omphaloskepsis]

8. Let the air out of the back tire..

That might get you enough space to drive it out. You got it in, you can get it out.

And, thanks for the belly laugh.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. Drunken mowing can be dangerous!

I almost flipped our cub cadet tractor in CT while towing a trailer after 8 or 9 beers.

In Britain a lawn mower looks like this:

18. billyskank I will post a picture of "my" lawn mower

This is my husbands mower and we have almost 2 acres and it still takes 2 hours on that beast.

[SOteric]

14. Tsk. Dudette. Have you been mowing under the influence?

[Elidor]

16. That took talent

Rare talent. I'm sorry, but :rofl:

[LaurenG]

17. Thanks for everyone's helpful suggestions to OhioBlues.

This is the Mister here, speaking. I am proud to say she did a damn good job on the lawn and the mower is free.



:toast:

[trof]

19. OK, I gotta know. Was it my suggestion that worked?

CredIt where credit is due?
:-)

[LaurenG]

20. How funny YES it was

I was going to PM you to tell you thank you. It was a bit difficult though as the gadget that sets the speed was up against the light post and I couldn't get it into "slow".

I actually got it "untangled" all by myself, with your help of course! Yay!

[billyskank]

21. Yay!

:yourock:


:loveya:

[trof]

[LaurenG]

27. It is definitely one for the books,

[merh]

24. Just take the pole out of the hole

and then drive the mower out of the way and then put it back. :shrug:












































Of course, I have no idea how you accomplished that, but I must say, you did one hell of a job! :rofl:
