Yesterday I was able to finish diagnosing the 357 and it had an air leak at the intake boot that I’m pretty sure was cause by another ham fisted family member getting it stuck and pulling it out instead of using a wedge or another saw. So as I thought dad had nothing to do with it. He only made two cuts before it happened. The cylinder is salvageable so it’ll be good to go with a piston.

On the way home from work I had a caliper that locked up on me so I had my son do most of the work changing it out.

I will never take shed or garage spaces for granted ever again.

Get well soon all the stomach buggers. 🤕

Yeah.
But it's Michigan.
It could be 4 gerbils running on a XL dildo with a sprocket screwed to the end.

Nice score.

Yep, 25hp (FH721V1) in a X500. Been good so far. Basic upkeep incl. a valve adj. and several carb drains/bowl cleanings. Oh changed transaxle fluid a couple of times.

There is a online digital Kawa 140pg service manual that covers a bunch of engine models, (FH451V,FH500V,FH531V,FH601V,FH641V,FH680V,FH721V)
and JD Operator manuals here
Nice. Thanks for the info. Mine is just 18HP but it should serve my purposes. I’ve recently negotiated a contract to take over the lawn maintenance for three local hotels near the beach.

I felt that way for about a week.

Been up all night racing for the bathroom.
Never got the schitts, thank God. Guts are still queasy so won't be the usual meals today, most likely. Ok sitting down, not so much up and moving around...

Good morning everyone,

I've been working out, my second best result I think.

Right now I'm going to make some coffee before I take a 30 minute nap.
Naps and reading my book is about all I could do yesterday.

If your engine models is in that list, I could pm you a copy of the manual if you had the interest!
