Yes. Had them filled.

Started vibrating like crazy. Then pouring oil out of the top seal. Lost the motor appears to be a broken pin at the piston. 1725hrs. New motor loading.... Borrowed a 72" that was for sale and its a lawn yacht. Big block motor. Too much for me.

After pricing out new mowers and then wondering what to do with a non useable chassis, I went with the cost effective option.

New motor, same ole exhaust but plus 2hp and Donelson air filter!. Lost the top bearing on the old one according to the mechanic.

Looks like she'll be around for a bit longer!

Close but with these overnight cool temps and dew, its been like spring in certain spots. Had to triple cut a few sections since I was a few days behind.
