Blew up my 1200 tonight...bummer!
Got home and decided to move things around in my garage. I wanted to move my 73 GS and put my 41 JD H by my tool boxes so I could remove the brakes. I had to put the battery in the 1200 to move it.I checked the oil and started the tractor and drove it outside to run and let the battery charge a little.It was idling and sitting right outside of the garage when all of the sudden it made a bang and sounded like it remained running for a good 12-15 seconds then shut off. I pulled the plug and turned it over and had no compression. I am betting the big end of the rod went. It currently has a 14 hp motor in it. I guess I'll have to remove the motor and see if just the rod went or what happened...
