i havent gotten the rest of the rod out yet. but its no longer connected to the crankshaft. this is what happens when the wife and kids use it and dont check the oil. no to worry i have more mowers than this.

Duct tape is a mans best friend. I'll bet it would work. Also women and children don't know how to check oil, its a written law somewhere I've read. :lol:

that reminds me of something. I knew a guy with a pretty nice swb bumpside with a 351w and he ran it without oil and locked it up. Turns out he was checking out the tranny fluid. lol

The best way to fix that is to remove the gas cap, take a deep breath, and drive a new lawnmower underneath it.
