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. Max. K 4 O D S.
