I bet like most consumers, you bought the cheapest one you deemed acceptable by feel, and then bemoaned the price to quality ratio is what you deemed ought to be.
$1,400 dollars isn't fucking cheap. And I bought it brand new. And used it very little.
I don't give a fuck if someone thinks that is "cheap" for a mower. That is not cheap.
$1,400 should get you 5 to 10 years of use, with tons of abuse.
One tiny pin, not a baseball bat, not a crowbar, but a fucking sliver of metal.
An earring stud that sits in your ear and does nothing makes sense. But that pin on my mower was responsible for keeping the tension between the gear shift handle and the cable to the gear box. That that should not wear out over 4 uses in a 2 year period.
And in most mechanical things, shit sometimes breaks. It happens.
You also probably would have had better luck with someone who has a business servicing mowers...not some guy that changes parts and oil at Lowes.
Bravo on flaming Trump because your mower broke. Are you sure it wasn't the whole GOP or the NRA?
I'm your huckleberry.
