Yep you did, but it's all good. :smile:

I hate how them dang buttons are so close to each other on the mobile version.

I almost did it again just now.

This is how it looks on mine. But if I just hit on the text it self anywhere on the page. This does not come up. Brings me to where I can type without the risk of hitting the dang report

When the engine was shut down it sounded like an excessive amount of compression, any chance of snow or ice in exhaust.

Welcome to LawnWorld :welcome:

After running it for a while, it was still making that noise. I would imagine if there was snow/ice, it would have melted after the engine ran full tilt for 20 minutes.

Check the engine to frame bolts make sure they are tight. Only takes a couple mins and everyone should check them once a year anyways.

I will check that when I get a chance. It's been sitting since Jan 6. Yes, it does have sta-bil in the gas.

This is what my tractor normally sounds like. It was 29 degrees Fahrenheit in the video:

Sounds like a blown head gasket to me ? Maybe check the compression.

No one has mentioned engine operating temps. An oil temp gauge into the sump would show if the little engine is even warm in such nasty cold. Here we've had a mild winter with only one week of 15F. When I operate my Intek in 40F it takes 30 minutes for the oil to reach 190F, around the minimum to drive out moisture. This operation here is not hard like snow blowing AND I have an oil cooler which is not doubt taking longer to warm, The conservative set will say "blah blah blah." There goes the gauge freak again. Nevertheless I will post again the Lowes pn for a sump drain plug predrilled for a 1/8 NPT oil gauge sensor if anone is interested. . This solves the need to drill and tap your own if you put in a gauge.

By the bye...Does anyone install winter baffling of any kind to help the little buggers get to temp?
