Smoking Riding Mower
jrv,
Your method of changing blades should not damage the engine but may have
caused some oil to leak into the wrong places. Clean the oil out of the air
filter, and run the engine for 1/2 hr. If it's still smoking then you know
why it was given away. If you're handy a new engine is not hard to put in
but rebuilding the old engine is hard.
