My neighbor doesn't need a mower! His yard is weeds. It automatically dies in the fall. (I get free seed from him every spring... CRAB GRASS!!!)
By the way..... I believe that's "Okey Dokey" .... at least where I come from! https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/264800.html
OK Bill, since ya caught ME, in a "senior-moment" , turn-about is fair play ! In your thread header, you have ... Briggs 17.5 HP, OHC Engine Locks UP! I didn't know Briggs made a 17.5 HP OHC engine, BUT, .. They do make a 17.5 OHV .....
Hey..... I really hate to do this.... BUT ..... from your own attached photos ..... Image #2
Follow the magic BLUE arrow ..... me thinks it says 17.5 HP OHV!
NO SERIOUS PROBLEM !! at our age, " Everything " is forgiven, ... excepting the Wife's Birthday and your Wedding Anniversary !!
