Engine blown?
Hello, long time first time here. I bought a cub 1810 off craigslist 4 years ago for $325. Some kid had inherited it from his grandfather and didn't know what he had. It came with extra belts, all manuals, and even the receipts. I had a brutal hilly yard at the time and it worked great. The longer I've owned this mower, the more I appreciated the construction, look, engineering and usability.
Recently I moved to a new home with 1.8acres of grass...so I decided to do a complete service job on the old cub. New oil, plugs, filters, hydro fluid change and filter. Found a small leak in the oil filter line, got them replaced. ran some Lucas gas treatment through her.
Long story short on my fourth lap around the yard a heard a shudder and lost some power. Kicked off the mower headed to the garage. I got there and it's running funny and I look down and see oil under the mower, fairly large amount...I pulled the panel but not the black heat shield to look yet. (Afraid) am I in real trouble? Any chance it's not a blown up Kohler?
