LOL, No, I do not lay on the ground, wriggle underneath it and use a mirror and flashlight to look underneath this mower every time I use it. Just as I do not check EVERY bolt and fastener on my backhoe or my Ford tractor or my car or my truck. And anyone who says they do is lying.

Anyway, didn't mean to fire up everyone, just thought I'd pass along a tip.
