Did you check the oil before trying to start it? Only reason I ask is that's one of the first things I do with a unknown motor. We've had 2 of the 14.5 OHV singles. They smoked like crazy if you got the rpms too high(ungoverned). Nice cheap tractor. I'd slap the deck on and sell, or mow away!

Could it be as simple as "If I put more in, I can go longer between top-ups"? Maybe he was yet another bonehead consumer that never changed the oil, and somehow noticed one day that it was way low. Maybe out. Then, he got overzealous pouring oil in, overdid it, and couldn't figure out how to get the excess back out.
