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.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
