congrats, i hope its in working order, you can never have too many toys
When I buy them they are never in working order . More like I feel good if I don't have to pull then on the trailer . This one has hydraulic problems that sound like air leaking in the suction side . First a new filter and see if that fixes the cavitation or air problem . This one will be for a family member who started a landscape business this spring .

good idea on the shaving cream . Most of the time I change the filter 3 or 4 times along with a oil change to get the chain cases cleaned out . So far the 500 with the water cooled Briggs is working out great . About 80 hrs on it so far .

Now you are talking. Training the next generation and playing with the grandkids is the best tip I have read today :) John

Well things aren't always roses . The engine clutch is loose on the crank and the set screws are broken off just below the socket . working on grinding them out with Dremal man are they hard carbide couldn't do it . Any one know how hard the crank is . The clutch is still avalible but not cheap $475 I think .
