My kindest appreciation for being allowed to Post in this Forum. A bit about myself: I am 70 yrs old, worked in and around the mining industry for 43 yrs, V.P. of a small mining engineering co. for 27 yrs, disabled in 2011, 1 son, 2nd marriage and my favorite past time is watching my 3 grand kids participate in sports. I recently decided i wanted to try my luck at repairing some of my old weedeaters, mowers and chainsaws to occupy my time. This is not working out too well. Ha, Ha. I was wondering where to ask for suggestions on a Troy-Bilt rear engine riding mower that i was recently given. I will list my problem if this forum comments on Troy-Bilt equipment. I hope someone can help keep this adventure alive. Jerry
