No, I am not talking about the sludge/tar oil we are accustomed to finding in the old flat heads sumps

I have been hearing rumors Briggs and Stratton imminent bankruptcy since saturday - and it has just been released

On one hand, they look like they have got what was coming to them - snapping up mower manufacturers and running names into the ground along pumping out hundreds of thousands of OHV shockers

On the other, it is sad that after over 100 years of history, they are losing out to the Chinese.

Lots of poor business decisions

Apparently, they are in the process of trying to flog off the australian rights to echo/shindaiwa after only a few months of getting the warehousing right.


Will mow with a L-head Briggs tomorrow as a sign of respect
