Engine model: 445677-0476-E1
Bought this mower today for $60. It was backfiring through the carb something awful. Exhaust push rod was gone on one of the cylinders. Just to see if it would run I got one from a parts engine. Mower fired up. Running on both cylinders. Engine seems to run ok but coughs a small amount on low throttle. Drives ok except it needs new drive pulley's and belt. The deck works.
Of course I will have to remove the engine retrieve the push rod.
Is there a big chance of the push rod being swallowed again?
I know the mower looks like crap but it does seem to function really good. I don't know if I should invest into it though.
