It’s part of business. Let’s roll with it young blood.

[@ericsloan858]

I've had hardly any breakdowns or set backs this year. I've paid off 40k debt this year. But I know my time is coming in the valley again. But I'm going to be prepared

[@jermaineglover4043]

You have to check your oil 2 to 3 times a day

[@procutslawn]

I’ve had some tuff issues this year as well. Keep going keep pushing

[@Wrightlookpressurewashingcompa]

Respect my guy 💯💯 had to replace the motor on my pressure washer last year thru a rod as well unfortunately. Went and brought one the next day and had it installed that day! How bad do you want it? You got to want it as bad as you breathe !!!!! This hasn’t been my best year either! Focus on getting to the mountain top ! Respect the truth speaking ! 💯💳💯

My air compressor and water pump went out back to back then find out I have an attachment from 2015 so I had to put my lawyers on that $2k gone 1k for the other stuff 2.5k plus for my f250 to get fixed so I'm in my f150 for the time being. But I'm still good about to hit my 15k savings with 2k in emergency fund have over 1k in fine silver. I'm on track to greatness. I'll be there In 1 to two years not to mention my stock Portfolio and ira

So i buy and sell equipment, as a mechanic and former srv mgr i only buy a kawasaki if i got someone who wants it. I had a deal on a 72in exmark rear discharge deck got there and it had a kawasaki with 950hrs... nope i left it i knew it was only a matter of time. Now me id call kawasaki and see what they wanna do, was their lack of oil that caused the connecting rod to break or did the most likely issue happen, a drop valve. Stop playing with me. 800 hrs nah

[@gibsonslawnservice7261]

Had changed the oil out last week. When the engine blew it had 2 quarts. I noticed a few months prior it was burning a lot of oil The day it blew it was missing every 30 seconds Then all of a sudden it was thick white smoke coming out of the exhaust and then POW

[@newseasonslandscape]

Yeah it dropped a valve, that engine should have a 3yr warranty. But I know the dealerships won't go to bat for customers. It's easier to tell them they need a new engine.

[@newseasonslandscape]

Also should be running 20w50. No less

[@gibsonslawnservice7261]

Yep was running 20w50 Warranty was up

[@PremiumFuelOnly]

What do you think about the Kohler Command Pro?

[@shaneparnell2128]

How often do you service your equipment. 800 hrs ain't no hrs on a motor. We service ours every 50 hrs that's oil change ,filter ,grease everything and air filters. We use Kawasaki oil with zinc. Only time I've ever seen a Kawasaki motor blow up that early is because lack of service.

[@gibsonslawnservice7261]

Changed oil every 70 hours Changed air filter every 28 days Changed blades every 4 days Oil checked daily added a little here and there Greased every 4 days with blade change I noticed around 700 hour mark it was drinking a lot of oil( still checking oil every morning) It had me thinking at times it was a oil leak 3 days before it blew it was missing here and there I thought it was bad gas. Around the 16th property almost finished white smoke was flowing heavy and thick And that was it

[@shaneparnell2128]

@@gibsonslawnservice7261 ain't that crazy. I've noticed these new Kawasaki engines ain't as durable they used to be. I got 2 new mowers with Kawasaki and they both have valve cover leaks. I got another mower with a efi Kohler 1000hrs and it runs like new still.
