Surefire L1 vs. John Deere **Wow**

[nauss]

I lost my Surefire L1 in the yard last night. Got up to this story.

I call it "Surefire L1 vs John Deere"

Running with the dogs in the yard just having a good time. I notice that my Surefire L1 is missing that evening. I figured that it came off while working in the yard earlier in the day. I clip it in my pocket and this has happened numerous times. Twice I have almost mowed over it under similar circumstances but my uncle got it today before I got up.
It seems that "Mr. Up at Dawn" over hear, deciding to mow, strikes again.

I'll have to go to the local dealer and see if the head will work still.
It shoved the glass about 1/4 inch back into the head but didn't break or crack. Not even a stratch.

Might be a good "Surefire TrueStory" if I can get a battery in it and/or get the head to light.










Its alive!! Frankenlight lives!

Re: Surefire L1 vs. John Deere

Did he hit it, back up, and hit it again? That is harsh!!!

I hope thats not one of the new JD mowers with the counter rotating blades, because if it is you are buing a new belt for it as well!! $50 belt, $50 pluss to put it on!!

Re: Surefire L1 vs. John Deere

WOW, I think that's the most 'jacked up' surefire I've ever seen. I would expect a mower to do a number on a light, but daaaannnnggg. As tough as they make lights, I guess aluminum is still just aluminum. Nice story, sorry about your L1. Or is this a good thing (new L1? wink, wink)

The mower works fine.

He felt really bad about it. I looked for over two hours last night at around 1:30am. Cold, wet ground and no L1. I went out today and he hit it about 20 feet from where I looked 5 times that night. Just meant to be.

Hey, if anybody feels bad enough, send your old flashlights to:

Lance Davis
7804 Tazewell Pike
Corryton, TN 37721


If you request, I'll make sure and have my uncle mow over them too.
Hey, might be a good section for this forum. "John Deere vs. XXXXX"
You send em and I'll mow em.

hey bro, grew up right around you(clapps chapel rd). great pics. love that it still works.

Kind of reminds me of the youtube series "will it blend"..... if I wasn't at work I would find the linky.


In this case though, its "will it mow!!"

I can't believe that it is in one piece

 

[MarNav1]

Surefire has got to want that light! Tell em you'll trade for a new one. If that doesn't
speak quality at least in this case, I don't know what will!

Im surprised...oo:
I've never seen anything this bad, I mean jeez, with the blade cutting into the body and all, did the battery vent?

 

[DM51]

Amazing! Surefire will pay you $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for it...

 

[Ctechlite]

You know what this really means right? You need to get and use a lanyard attached to your person somewhere so it does not fall in the grass again!
