    Griff's right on Watkins road (I think that is the name) off of Cleveland School Road right before Lee's roofing. They specialize in small engine repair and lawn mowers and weed eaters

    Ken,
    not sure if relating my mechanical capability, or lack thereof, is an insult to morons...or whether i would take you up on the challenge of being able to rendering the darned thing "more broker" than it is...
    Safe Weekend...

    thanks folks...looks like Griff's is the place.

    well thank you very much...of course, you have to know that I was having difficuity with a drive belt on the mower...and now the adjustment thing to ensure a level cut doesn't want to seem to adjust, so I can level out the cut...
    thanks for the suggestion re: the retractor thing....sprayed some PB lube into the housing, after taking off the mounting, let it sit for a bit, reconnected...TADA! And, coincidentally, there went my excuse for not having the weed eating and edging done.
