Hi guys,
My first post here, but have read lawnboy posts for years. I have a problem if I should rebuild my 10552 or not. I bought it from scrap last spring and ran it all summer with a rattling sound. Turns out that rattling sound was the connecting rod and bearings. In short my cylinder wall now has a single score from one of the flying needle bearings.
Short blocks from lawnboy are about $380 and to find a donor and actually overhaul it will cost about $300 it looks like. I dont want to do this again soon, so I don't want to just swap motors with a running machine. I have two other LB mowers, this is just the nicest one. . . (aluminum deck electric start). Is the duraforce worth all this time and money or will a new briggs model be less of a head ache?
What would happen if I assembled the motor with the one scratch in the cylinder?
