Last year I bought a used riding mower. Pretty good motor, about 14 hp.
I was riding it around one day, and it started to slow down. Checked oil.
Very low, below Dipstick. Refilling it still goes slow. The crankshaft
Seems about the same rotating force by hand. I rotated it many times during
the summer, since the starter gears were bad. Had o find the right spot. Is
it screwed up? I did find one valve rocker loose. Never blew smoke. I
assumed the oil was full when I got it. I'm not convinced the oil broke it.
I guess I'll have to give it to someone.

I only paid $300 for the mower, but that was a special price from a friend.
I still have another mower.
