Got my trusty 30113S out to cut some grass and all of a sudden it didn't want to pull very good. Looked up under it and the botom oil seal on the Briggs had let go! And they don't just sell the seal anymore, you have to buy a bushing and seal kit. Guess after 30+ years the seal did it's job. I...

Do any of you guys remember getting those or still have copies? It was published from the 1970's through mid 2000's.
