people ive got bad news sarge got hurt in a big mud battle i dont think he will run again ) anywho heres what happend i went to a freinds house who has a "pond" and :/ well he floats his atv across all the time so i stuck the snorkel back on sarge and i was almost out of the pond when it was like the mower went up in flames there was so much smoke the engine block had cracked at the govenor arm so he now leaks oil everytime it is started so he is in need of a heart transplant if i can find a opposed twin or vtwin ima get it but if anyone knows where i can get a good running engine please let me know but sarge had to be pulled home buy a honda rancher 420 i think that that was the worse thing about it so yea if you know where i can get a good running mower engine PLEASE let me know i live in haddock georgia im closer to macon georgia ive looked all over craigslist but most engines are really far from macon

thanks a lot btw I live on 5th road in haddock and before I got to bed here is a small up date I cleaned up the side of the engine to see how bad it was and well it looks like it cracked all the way the the bottom cover I drained what was left of the oil and I did a small jb weld fix so I can make a video Monday of it runing I may even make a small driveway run that's if the jb weld held up

Mine is painted army green. I had a similar Briggs OHV engine and it never ran right. I've since put an Apposed twin in the mower. I'd say, Go with some kind of flathead.
