This morning I discovered my rotary mower was at the bottom of a newly formed river. We got nearly 7 inches of rain in a couple hours and have flash flooding at levels not seen by anyone in the last 50-100 years. As luck would have it, I was using my rake last and the mower was off my tractor overnight for the first time in two years.
Anything to be overly worried about? I have not been able to inspect it yet, what should I expect to find?
This is what I saw at 9am. The ripple in the surface about 3/4 of the way to the left edge, in front of the small stand of tall weeds inbetween the trees, is about where the mower sits.
This is how it looked 3 hours later.
It is on "dry" land now, but I am not sure how much, if any, water penetrated the gearbox.
