[Shop-talk] Lawn mower replacement

[old dirtbeard]

Hi Bob,

Have you thought about rebuilding the engine? Personally, that would be my
first choice, check on the availability of parts, probably might need to
have the cylinders bored, etc., but it could be a very enjoyable experience.

Also, you could check ebay for a used engine.

best,

doug
