Congrats ! :)

On an inexpensive push mower , I always try to compare the cost of repair to the cost of a new mower , on sale .

I worked maintenance years ago , at a local hospital . The grounds department would get several , purchased on sale , push mowers at the start of the spring . About 1/2 way through the mowing season , they would receive some more purchased on sale push mowers .

They said it was cheaper in the long run , than doing / paying people , to do major repairs .

Now , when I work on my mowers , I always think , how much are the parts going to cost me , on a used / several years old mower ? Not figuring in my time .

The more expensive the mower is , may change the cost analysis .

Best wishes , :)

God bless

You're very welcome, WilburKlick! Glad to be of assistance.

When you removed the rings from the piston, did you pay attention to which ring came out of which groove and which way they were facing? The oil ring is not a problem, but many times compression rings have a bevel or a step on the ID of the ring. New rings come with an instruction sheet telling which way they go.
