yep Oil is life:
Got to the oil changed and closer inspect of the blade and underneath

oil changing station

The blade looks like its the Original - rusty


Had to remove the Belt guard to get to the oil plug



Next - I will get that blade off and clean it up a bit

Pulled the blade off this weekend - Took a braking bar to move it
I am pretty sure this is the original blade, never changed and rusted in place.
this thing wasn't used that often - it looks slightly worn

light sanded , grinder and wire brushed it - Black spray painted and back on it went.

You know you can tip the mower on its side to change the oil, right? The procedure is on page 12 of the owner's manual. https://lawn-garden.needmanual.com/...wn-mower-operators-manual.html?page_number=12

I think you 2 guy's would get along GREAT !!

I agree. Unfortunately Lake Ronkonkoma is many miles from me, otherwise I'd give him an old 20066 for parts.

Oh, I just noticed you were changing the blade with it upright as well. Just tip it on it's side with the air filter facing up, it makes blade changing so much easier! This goes for most other mowers as well. As long as the air filter is facing up, you can tip it without a problem.
