Hi AVB,
Glad to hear you are still here, very worrying what is going on over in the States.
As for getting the case welded up the big problem with that is that it is still just a Briggs and not worth spending much money on it. Would certainly cost more to get it welded than it would ever be worth
Been worried about things too. I have cut my weekly trips on Sundays to near zero and only out for groceries once every couple weeks during the work week to avoid the crowds. Prices are trying to go through the roof for meats. No way I going to pay $7 a pound for hamburger (ground beef) when just before thing thing hit it was just under $3 a pound.
Everything seem to have been going well until they started relaxing the rules.
How does a hole like that happen? a big rock or something from underneath? I'm assuming its from underneath not inside... Would like to have seen the disk in that case!
Oh, these engines are being thrown away by the dozen these days, just keep an eye out for another one
Since I never seem an engine in that area I have no inking what caused it. And these engines are considered throw a ways as it cost more to fix them then replacing the whole mower.
