Ever take a shortcut and, while doing it, have your brain say "this is not smart." ? Here's mine.

While cleaning smaller parts on my refurb, I held the lower shield in my hand to power wash it. Right after I ignored myself, everything bucked in my hands and this was the result.

When your brain tells you to stop something, probably a good idea to listen.

Noooo... it was a nasty mess. Tore a nerve and an artery. I was not in danger of bleeding to death but it looked like someone shot a slasher movie there. Loose stitched because they worried that grease and grime might be missed in the cleanup so it needs to ooze for a while.

The washer. Injected in the center and blew out both sides. Probably could have been much worse, but I may not get full feeling back in my pinky since the nerve was torn.

Holy crap!

Yeah..... I scroll really fast past the pic now. I'm not "queezy"... I mean, like I can butcher animals and stuff with no problems. Just don't like blood and guts when it comes to people. Don't know what the difference is, but I have trouble.

Cut my finger with a grinder to the bone a couple years ago. Grinding in an odd position with gloves on but no shield on the grinder. Grinder caught, and jumped into my hand. Other than the feeling of being hit, it didn't think anything of it. A few min later, noticed the rip in my glove. Set the grinder down, took a deep breath and pulled off the glove. Almost fainted when I saw it. Friction heat from the grinder seared it so no blood. Went to the doc, and he wanted to stitch it. I asked him if it would heal without, he said yes, but you'll have a scar. Like I care about a scar on my finger. I have several. So I didn't let him stitch it, just clean it out, but I laid down while they did. LOL.

Skin graft technology is really coming a long way fast!

I'm glad you didn't get hurt any worse than you were!

Glad you didn't get hurt worse. Man that is ugly. Thanks for posting good warning for anyone using a pressure washer.

I'm moving this to the general section hope it get's to more members.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
