The ONLY legal recourse you have is to take the guy to small claims court. Beat him up, steal one of his mowers... YOU will end up being the bad guy and YOU will end up in jail. He will still have your $100.
It just grinds my gears when people make bad purchases and aren't "man" enough to live with them. There's no reasonable expectation that that mower was sold anything but AS-IS. It's a $100 mower. Someone pushed it to the side of the road, this guy picked it up and got it running for as little as he possibly could. It's one step above scrap metal.

The icing on the cake was not picking up the mower when it was fixed. You get in my face and demand your money back on a mower that was sold as-is, I fix it for FREE just to get you off my back, and then you don't come and pick it up? If you were in his shoes, how much would you put up with? Human nature, it's tough to not want to "get even."
