The chassis is great with heavy gauge steel and a 33" deck.
Bad news. I think the motor is stuck. I can't turn it by hand. Watching some yt vids they are VERY SIMPLE to tear down and repair if no major damage. I hadn't planned on it. But, should be fun to turn wrenches on and see if I can get it going.
For those playing along.
Briggs and Stratton 14.5 OHV with electric start.
Some forum peeps say if rebuilt these will outlast the big box mowers 4x. |
Sounds like the engine's been replaced--that's not the original. It came from the factory with an 11 hp L-head cast iron bore engine.
Solid machine.
