Boiling Oil ?

O.K. it was over 92 here today and I had been mowing for about 2 hours. Before parking in the barn I decided to do the oil change. After getting over the shock of the plastic "gizmo" drain plug, I was shocked a second time because the oil came out boiling and bubbling into the drain pan. What in the...

Glad you got it all back together.

Re: Loaders are cool ( most of the time )

That is a major bummer... I've thought that adding duals on my 100 that has the Mott may improve stability on a slope that I mow several times a year. Since I have lots of little stumps and root holes on that hillside the Mott is better than a regular deck, but the 100 seems just a little "narrow n ...

Welcome aboard. Looks like you got a great start in the 147. Isn't it amazing how often with a little fuel cleaning and such that they still fire up and run after years of neglect.
