Awesome - thanks so much - will report back with results. I'm a motorhead, but this is my first with a Briggs... Should be fun, and hell, the oil needs changin anyway! :laughing: Thanks again for the advice!
Quick question before I make the haul over to my girl's rental property, as I want to make sure I have everything I need. This mower is self-propelled. Is the belt drive pulley simply held down by the blade bolt, or is it pressed on? Will I need to bring my pulley puller? Don't want to get all the way over there and not be able to remove the sump cover, but don't want to bring it if not necessary... Thanks!
