Just a little rant about how I hate mechanical devices (or they hate me.)

Things just aren't designed to last anymore and many things are over engineered. You need too many tools to work on some modern things, I mean the old Model A needed 1 wrench they gave you and a hammer.

I was working on my lawn tractor, well working on it again. I did get to mow some before the bearings in one of the mower deck blade shafts decided to give up the ghost.  I don't mind working on some things but I just don't have the strength lately after being sick. Old corroded / rusty bolts are just a royal pain. Even using an impact wrench it took time. Now I'm just too tired to run out and check on prices for a replacement. The lawn is almost a foot high in spots, I hate to delay cutting it much longer. This year I will be mowing less area and less often as gas goes out of control. 

Maybe I should just by a cow to eat the grass.
