Default Not your typical carnage pictures

I had the day off work and decided to mow the lawn, two passes across the yard and BANG! I threw a rod! I guess its time for a new mower, LOL.

It came out of a Briggs & Stratton 4.5hp engine and It had the same oil in it for the past two years. I cant imagine what could have caused this

No, the 2 or 3 ounces of oil in it looked clean I just checked it last fall.
On a side note I have been limping this thing around for years just waiting for it to go so I had an excuse to get a riding mower.

Mine did the same thing a few weeks ago, too. That's what you get when you let a woman use your lawnmower.

Didn't bother opening it, but I'm guessing something similar happened there. Lasted over 8 years. Never changed oil... :o
