I am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction...
I was out in the yard over the weekend using the mower to cut up some of the leaves that had fallen - I was not using any mulching attachments, just going over the small piles. Well I ran into one that was a little bigger than I probably should have tackled.
Moving forward, I could hear the engine slowing down as it mulched through the leaves.... then, it made sort of a "clunk" noise and just stopped. Tried turning the engine over again but could feel no compression. Rolled it back into the garage and left it overnight. Came out in the morning and all the oil in the engine was sitting on my garage floor.
The fluids have all been changed regularly, motor was rebuilt about 3 months ago, everything worked fine until I ran over a big pile of leaves (which you wouldn't think would be a problem). Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated - not sure what I need to do to get the engine back in working order.
