Episode Synopsis:
Tim Taylor (Tim Allen) and his youngest son Mark (Taran Noah Smith) are at work adding "more power" to Tim's riding lawnmower. While Tim is out of the room, Mark accidentally breaks his father's prized torque wrench. Knowing how protective Tim is of his tools, Mark hides it in the drier.

When Mark confesses this to his brothers Brad (Zachary Ty Bryan) and Randy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), the boys regretfully inform him that this means his parents will soon exchange him for a new son. Mark hides up a tree in the backyard, but Tim eventually finds him with some help from Wilson (Earl Hindman). Mark confesses, and with some heartfelt grunting, Tim accepts. Later, Tim finally tests out the supercharged lawnmower - which promptly goes out of control and runs him over.
