This guy had a Briggs Classic 5.5 HP engine on it. I don't have a great way of keeping track of what's wrong with what as today proved. This guy was missing the carb/tank asssemly, so I robbed a good one. It started right up....and bad rod knock. OK, I vaguely remember this now. I couldn't get the badly rusted bolt for the YardPro's transmission off, so I compromised and put the Kohler engine on the Craftsman deck. End product is a very nice mower, and the deck is much better than the YardWorks deck was.
I also got to work on the KGrow. I got a cable that works on it, and it seems the crank may be bent on it as it vibrates when it runs. Maybe a bent blade, I'll swap it out tomorrow. I really need to tag the condition of things, I lose way too much time to my own foolishness.
I have another 3 self propelled mowers to try fixing in the shed, I hope they all can be salvaged in full functioning capability, they tend to bring home more bacon.
