Trailer hitch I made for my John Deere LX277 to move a trailer around. I hooked on to my neighbors pickup bed trailer, full of brush, and hauled it to my burn pile. The bottom is just a pin to go in hitch hole Two bolts on braces on the sides The 1/2 bar at top slides out, for removal Cost...

Found the top push rod collapsed/bent Would that be the intake or exhaust valve side? Also, does anyone have a link to a repair book for setting the valves? B & S Vanguard Model 28Q777-0691-E1 Thanks for the help, as always. Shift PS...notice that area of the push rod is necked down and...

I can't get that thread to open...no way, no how.
