The "monkey bar" reference is great!  Even as an old man, that reference just takes you right back to elementary school……a place that Dag never graduated from. :beer:

Re: 1440 w/ cracked B&S model 29 V-twin

If it helps and you want to, send me the case and I will see if it's weldable. I welded a green transmission case that was cast and that welded pretty well.

Re: 1440 w/ cracked B&S model 29 V-twin

Can we see a pic of the inside?
Cast aluminum is a crap shoot to weld but I have done it sucessfully. Welding over those ribs would be a PITA but if the inside is smooth with some prep it can likely be welded.

Re: Plotting my own demise.

I took care of mine a few years ago. Direct cremation with no viewing or any trimmings. Only family that would show would be my wife and her brother and maybe his kids (who basically ignore me now unless they need something) so why bother with the show. I wanted them to dispose of the ashes as well...

Re: 42" CI Deck

Started mowing my current yard in 1991 with a 42” cast end deck and am still using the same deck moved from tractor to tractor.
I pick up leaves with it too by adding an original EZ Rake bonnet, hoses and now Predator powered vac. It’s a cobbled mess but it works.

The obvious answer is to find a gear drive with no engine.
