Hi folks,
I am looking for a hand with my Craftsman lawn tractor. I was mowing and it just died. I heard a sound that was a bit like a spring, but that was it. I didn't notice any smoke or anything like that. I checked the oil - wasn't bone dry, but it was below low, so I thought I seized it. Filled up the oil, tried to crank it once and it tried but wouldn't turn over. I then removed the spark plug, sprayed some Penetrating oil in where I had removed the plug. I tried spinning it by hand with the plug out and i can get 1 revolution and it stops. I go back the other way and stop after 1 revolution again (I assume at the same spot). Is it supposed to work this way or have I bleeped my engine up? I was afraid to try again with the key in case I would cause more damage. I did post a video of what is happening.
