Cry as home for lawn-mower suffers damage (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

shed tears

'cry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'home for lawn-mower suffers damage' is the wordplay.
'home for lawn-mower' becomes 'shed' (where a lawn-mower may be stored).
'suffers damage' becomes 'tears' (to tear is to become damaged).
'shed'+'tears'='SHED TEARS'

'as' is the link.

(Another definition for shed tears that I've seen is " Headrests to make one cry".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
