Huh, had no idea it was so common.

 

I don't know if it's common. But it happens.

 

Huh , I find it easy to load and unload sheet goods on the rack but either way , I always put the long stuff up top

 

I had even checked the oil as usual before starting it that day too.

 

It doesn't necessarily have to have been that day, though. Even if it happened 6 months ago, it can egg the hole just enough for it to start slamming back and forth at TDC and BDC, which will eventually fatigue the rod. I did it with a snowblower a few years ago. Ran it low on oil and it started ticking. Checked the oil level religiously every time after that, but after another few months of use I was clearing snow and it went from a tick to a knock to a kerbang in about 5 minutes.

 

ive been searching Craigslist for weeks trying to find a useable one that I don't have to pay full price for... bah! nothing worth a damn so far!

 

I wanted a commercial one so buying used wouldn't be a good option for the long run.

 

I had just bought the Snapper used last summer so I didn't have a clue to the history of it. Chocking it up to lesson learned again and going to buy a new zero turn this time.

 

Zero turns are fun.

 

Which Echo did you spring for?

They seems like it. This will be my first one. I found out last summer I actually like cutting the grass again when it doesn't take forever to do it with a self propelled. I went from dragging ass to cut it every two weeks to every week with a rider.

 

Echo is commercial? Stihl all the way!

 

I turned my entire front yard into gardens specifically so I wouldn't have to mow as much, lol.
But, since I don't have much yard, I use one of these:

 

I'm a Stihl guy too, but Echo also makes a good product.

$175 each.

 

The Echo L&G stuff that I've used has been quieter and smoother than the Stihls.

Milsurp for the win. The military pays GY $500 per tire, runs them for a few months, then sells them for pennies on the dollar.
