Recently my 14 year old lawn tractor mower experienced a catastrophic episode due to the lack of oil. My bad. I looked in to a replacement riding mower but the prices have more than doubled since I purchased mine. So I started my quest for a new or used engine replacement. These used engines were almost as expensive as the mower when I bought it new. I found small engine warehouse on eBay. They were very knowledgeable and guided me to a new engine. Shipping was fast n free. Mower is up n running. Hoping to get many more years of service from it. For sure I’ll be keeping an eye on the oil level Omddave
