there is three things that could have part of the stick may be jamed in the mower still, you may have bent the blade, or you may have bent the shaft the blade mounts to

Good thoughts but this is definitely it...

You sheared the shear pin and now the timing is off. The flywheel on top has a little slot in it where it connects to the motor shaft, to line it up for the timing of the engine.

There is a key way, most of the time it is aluminum. This is done on purpose so that if you run over something that stops the engine, it will shear the pin and stop the motor instead of damaging the actual engine.

The pin only costs a couple of dollars, but you need to remove the crank and get a puller to pull the flywheel off to replace the cheap little key way.

Go to a home repair center or a lawn mower repair center and get a package of key ways for your engine for starters. There are only a few types, depending on if your engine is Briggs and Stratton, or Tecumseh.

How do you jump start a riding mower without key?

Hook up jumper cables to a different battery, stick the black cord on the frame of the mower to ground it; touch the red to the starter bolt and hold it there until it starts.


Which has more force a blunt stick or a pointed stick?

If the stick is just sitting there, it doesn't exert any force at all. If you're swinging the stick, the shape of the stick won't matter much; the force will be determined by the speed and mass of the stick. If you are poking with the stick, then the FORCE will be the same whether it is blunt or pointed - but a pointed stick will concentrate the force into a smaller AREA, so the force per area will be a lot higher with a sharp stick than with a blunt one.


What is stick force gradients?

Stick force gradients refer to how much force is required to move the control stick in an aircraft. A shallow stick force gradient means small changes in force result in large changes in aircraft response, making it more sensitive. A steep stick force gradient means larger changes in force are needed for the same response, making it less sensitive. Pilots use stick force gradients to control the aircraft's maneuverability.

Why does a balloon that has static electric charge will stick to a wall?

When a balloon is rubbed against a material like hair, it gains static electric charge. The balloon becomes negatively charged, and the wall becomes positively charged as electrons move away. Opposite charges attract, causing the balloon to stick to the wall due to the electrostatic force between them.


How does magnetic force works?

The magnetic forces from the North and South pole send magnetic forces around the earth, that's why on a magnet you cant stick North and North or South and South, They have the same magnetic force

How much force did the puck exert 0n the hockey stick?

The force that the puck exerts on the hockey stick depends on various factors, such as the speed of the puck, the angle at which it hits the stick, and the mass of the puck. This force can be calculated using the principles of classical mechanics and is typically measured in Newtons.


How do you drain oil from a lawn mower?

depending on what type of mower and who makes the motor it can vary. if it is a standard push mower you can either remove the dip stick/oil fill and dump the oil out there or look at the base of the motor for a plug or under the deck with the blade for a plug. if it is a riding mower there will be a plug at the base of the motor that can be removed to drain it
