Looks like a V to me?

I stand corrected...did not see the video.
Anyway, all internal parts are the same as an F. CC's and performance are identical to an F.

I thought the V had more torque than the Fs, and of course more shaky.

Yeah, the V Series are pretty serious torque monsters compared to the F Series. But they are also not as smooth/refined as an F either. My old 1993 model 10201 V Series was a serious beast that could just about take down small saplings. But I also had to replace all the shroud screws with larger ones because the engine kept vibrating them loose.

How can this be? All specs are identical. The Lawn-Boy spec sheets show no differences at all.
Bore and stroke match. Crankshaft, piston, and connecting rods are identical to F part numbers. CR is the same.
Any differences are strictly visual...such as finnage. Model V is square. Model F is round.
No difference between my machines what-so-ever. Both bog down equally under the same conditions.
I have a gokart powered by an F and one powered by a V. The V mill is a disappointment. Definitely a NOT so serious torque monster.

Then the smooth running 8237 F Series that I mowed with years ago was low on compression. Because when I had my V Series 8-10 years ago, that mower chewed through stuff without a sweat that would bog down the other one.
