Engine bad, need to repower

The 3rd one I'll get photo of tag tomorrow. It was raining a lot a few ago. So everything is going to grow more, seems like a uphill battle.

This is the blade I've started buying, replacing OEM blade.

Sorry, didn't get photo of other mower deck tag, it was pouring rain again.

Thanks, I am in Ohio and thought you were local to me. So I’m no help. Sorry

No problem, I appreciate the thought. We'll keep trying to move forward one step at a time.

Here is another I have that I mowed over the water meter iron lid that was up after the city read the meter. The original engine was shot so a rototiller engine was bolted in place, for which I mowed the meter lid with. This engine is now shot, city said "how do you know we forgot to close the lid?"

The wise old timers would walk the yard prior to mowing. Looking for chains, barbed wire, water meter covers and the like.

I didn't expect it to be up, been mowing it for 3.5 years and with the extra rain the grass was a lot higher. But that doesn't help mowing the rest of the acres. Maybe switch to those blades that pivot when they hit something they can't cut? Anyone try them? I still need 2 or 3 engines either way.

Hope you have a hoss engine. Engine will drink a lot more fuel with those blades. It will bog down much easier in tall grass.

Little walking isn't going to kill you. Check your water meter cover while you are at it LOL.

Here's the 3rd mower. Engine getting tired and not strong enough for the thick stuff. Ordered new air filter and carb for it, but 4.5 HP isn't enough.
