I decided I would to a good deed and mow my mother-in-law's property. So I got my Bose headphones,…read moregassed up the mower, and got to work. All was going great and I was jamming out on my tunes. While mowing, I did not see a stump under some high grass and ran right into it. Initially I thought the mower was fine, and kept to it. The mower ended up making some angry noises, the blades stop spinning. Crap. I pulled my mower into my garage to see what I had done. Upon further inspection, the belt was off of the pulleys and all tangled up. After untangling the belt, and diving deeper into it, I noticed the spindle pulley was out of balance. Thinking it was an easy pulley replacement, I took off the pulley to find more bad news. The pulley had been wallowed out and the sheath of the ball bearings on the top of the spindle was gone. So, an easy spindle replacement will fix everything. Four easy bolts on the top, remove the old blade, and this will be a breeze. Right? First bolt, snap. Darn it (I yelled a much worse word, but I'll keep it PG rated here). Ok, let's try another bolt. Snap, again. Another curse word yelled. After watching some YouTube videos on bolt extractions, I purchased some tools and was overly confident I was going to extract the bolts. Long story short, I ended up smoking some drill bit and extractors, making my problem exponentially worse. Time to wave the white flag and consult a professional. Praying this good deed was not going to break the bank. With the help of ChatGPT, I googled my problems, and it suggested Ken's Equipment repair and spoke highly of it. I gave them a ring, and Ken himself picked up the phone. I explained to him that I broke some bolts, and could not get my spindle off. So, in short, telling him I was a moron. He told me that he indeed could help, but I was looking at 5-6 weeks. Well crap. I asked him for some tips, and the ones he gave me I had already tried. He told me if he could see my mower, maybe he could give me some pointers. So, I loaded the mower up and took a little trip. I pulled into the shop and was greeted promptly by a gentleman who was helping another customer. I told him my problem, so he grabbed an air hose and was ready to help me out quickly. While searching for his air gun, Ken exited the shop and told the gentleman he would help me. Ken remembered my voice from the phone call, so he went right to my mower and checked it out. He got his air gun, busted the remaining three nuts off, and the old spindle fell right out. Turns out the bolts I was trying to extract had no threaded grip on the mower deck at all. I felt like an idiot. Luckily Ken did not laugh at me. I would have! He asked for my new spindle, so I gave it to him. He removed my old mower blade from the broken spindle with ease, and put it on the new spindle. He bolted my new spindle and blade on with the new bolts, and had me fixed very quickly. It was almost the equivalent of a NASCAR pit stop. He told me to tighten the bolts a little tighter when I got home, and how to install the new pulley. Honoring Ken's time, and overly appreciative, I asked Ken how much I owed. He said the repair was $5. So, I ran to house, grabbed a $20, and returned to gladly pay him the full $20. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with Ken, and the whole experience. He is now my small engine repair guy, and I will never go anywhere else now. I really enjoy learning about small engine repairs, so it is men like Ken that make me wish retirement at my current career would hurry up so I can just tinker with lawn mowers all day. Highly recommend Ken's Equipment Repair. I will be back. I hope Ken reads this review. Enjoy.

Four years ago, I purchased a lawn tractor from one of the two big box stores. I was told it had a…read moreone year bumper to bumper warranty. What they didn't tell me was that when I needed service, I would be on the phone for a very long time pressing 1 then 2 then 5 only to end up with an inarticulate, uninformed call center associate in the Philippines. A neighbor told me about Ken. I purchased a new lawn tractor from Ken this year and could not be happier. My experience with Ken has been fantastic. He knows everything about the equipment he sells and answers the phone personally by the second ring. The personal level of service he provides is honest and fast. I won't go anywhere else.

I moved out to Seguin 4 years ago and at that time bought a Mahindra 3016 package deal from bills…read moretractor. Within 4 years with light use the tractor needed the entire fuel system replaced and through the 4 years had a plethora of other issues. When I would call the parts and service people didn't know their tractors and it showed. I tell you this because after being quoted $5,000 dollars to replace the fuel system and a warranty of a whopping 30 days I decided it was time to part ways with the Mahindra. I called all three of the tractor dealers in Seguin and was very pleased with the service at Ewald. After hours and hours of research I decided to give Kubota our business. Austin Gay made the process extremely easy and enjoyable. Any time I have questions he has gotten the information I need as quickly as possible. I bought the tractor in May of 2017 and minus hitting a stump and bending a shredder blade yesterday I've had absolutely zero issues with the Kubota l4701 we bought. I cannot speak highly enough about Austin and the people I've come into contact with at Ewald. Because of the service I received during my tractor purchase I decided to also purchase a new weed eater there. I had my mind made up on a Sthil weed eater when I arrived, however Austin said I should buy the Echo SRM280t. Again he steered me in the right direction. That weed eater is a monster. It has had no problem cutting through my thick weeds and even some small mesquite. I highly recommend the echo. Today I called to get the information of the shredder blade I bent. The salesman got my the price and specs on it within a few minutes. What impressed me the most about that was when I showed up the gentleman had taken notes and written the part number down. Mind you I didn't tell him I would be coming to pick it up. Excellent customer service!!! Stuff like makes the buying process so much nicer and easier than some of the other places around here. If you're in the market for new equipment please give Ewald a call. All my future business will be conducted with them!!

They answered my questions, explained everything to me, so I went ahead and took my equipment. The location is easy to find, clean, and organized. The mechanic was courteous, professional, and very friendly. They repaired my equipment in a very timely manner and prices were reasonable. I really appreciated how they explained how to care for and maintain my equipment. I loved how they responded to my text messages, and phone calls so quickly. I highly recommend Old Timer Repair to anyone who is looking for someone reliable to service their outdoor lawn equipment. What is really cool about Old timer is that you can also purchase lawnmowers and other various small engine equipment. Cash is accepted and debit/credit.
