The riding mower died yesterday.  Sue was driving it and reported to me that 
it had quit.  The starter wouldn't turn it over.  The battery is brand new. 
I couldn't turn it by hand either.  I quizzed her in more detail which 
revealed that it had started to vibrate and then stopped.  The engine didn't 
coast down to a stop, it stopped dead.  That seems to be its condition.  I 
assume something broke inside the engine.  Probably a piston.  Given an over 
winter I could likely tare it down, order the parts from Brigs and Stratton 
and fix it.  But with the growing season still going strong I don't think I 
could do it in time to suit Sue.  Having a mower shop do it would likely 
cost as much as a new mower.  We went today and bought a John Deere.  The 
engine in it looks like a Brigs.

Regards.
