Well, I didn’t split the cases( I did once about 15 yrs ago on another mower), but I pulled the lower out with a pick and slid a new seal down the shaft and gently tapped in with a deep well socket. The top was not messed with.Not ideal, but …. Yeah, I loosened the cable and pushed it towards...

Uh, yeah, I was WAY off base with what I was asking and the picture I showed about the seal. Turns out I was just at the beginning of a medical condition and wasn’t thinking clearly. I’ve since had the engine off and freshened/ cleaned everything up (including the lower seal). I still haven’t...

StarTech, since my seal and snap ring are missing, as per the parts diagram that shows a retaining ring ABOVE all of that, should I assume that may be gone too? Once the new seal goes back in, would it be a very snug fit, top to bottom, then the snap ring? I don’t know how much play to expect...

lol No, that area was FULL of oil caked grass clippings! I had cleaned a lot of it out before taking the pictures. After getting the obvious grass clippings out, it took me a while cleaning out under the lip to get everything cleaned out for the new seal. It must have been like that for a...

Wait looking on the parts diagram, it shows a retaining ring, the seal, then the snap ring. Should a retaining ring go in first? Looking at the mower, I don’t really see a retaining ring… Edit. I missed the part where it said the retaining ring isn’t available!

Thanks. Man, I’m feeling a bit foolish now because I mowed with this about half of the last season! Much appreciated.. So I’ll clean in there as good as possible, then tap in the new seal with a socket or something? I tried to clean as much as I could for the pictures, but there was still...

Sorry for being dense, but getting old and my memory is not as good as it once was. This is on a 10525 Lawnboy…. I took the blade off today to sharpen, and I noticed, around the shaft, there was a ton of oily grass clippings caked in there. I hope the pictures are OK- but is there supposed to be...

Sold it in 1 1/2 days for $265. I get the impression that I could have sold it for more, no doubt, but I pay things forward if I can.I made a little more than I bought it for, and it’s a hard to find item anymore. I dislike reaming people on things if I can avoid it. So someone got a nice engine...

Thanks for the opinions. I’ll list it and see what happens. I’ve been a fan of the 2 stroke motors for years, and always loved tweaking them, going all the way back to my ‘70s motocross bikes.

I don’t know. Ive never bought or sold lawn mower stuff and have no idea how the market is.

No, its still new. it was New Old Stock when I bought it off of eBay in mid 2018. They we’re getting hard to come across back then and I paid $200 for it. It’s Been sitting on the shelf in my basement since. I opened the shipping box to look at it, but that’s all. I don’t even think I took it...

I bought a new old stock short block in 2018 in case either of my Duraforce Lawn Boys shot craps. I sold one of the mowers and probably will sell the other soon, so I don’t need the short block anymore. I see they are not around anymore from the usual places, so I’m guessing they have a bit of...
