Otherwise thank you for the info.

Mower is in good shape, have all kinds off attachments as well. Obviously the old man original owner loved it. I think it's perfect for my yard, half the property is woods, other half grass. It's also a mix of flat, hills, and....rocks. a zero turn wouldn't really save me a lot of time
I read your post. And I don't mind pissing on your parade.

You don't need, nor will 93 octane gain you anything. George hit the nail on the head. This isn't a high performance engine. It's a flathead lawnmower engine. Run 89 and be happy. If you don't like that answer, sorry.
