Removed the fly wheel cover the intake manifold then the carburetor, re-installed new carburetor re-installed manifold then the flywheel cover, squirt some oil in each cylinder installed the new plugs gapped at 0.030 choked carburetor then cranked oh 10 seconds then gave shot of starter fluid and hit the start switch again and within oh 3-5 seconds it started and I let it run for 10 minutes, now my 15kw generator is up and running I have no worries when loss of power comes my way now, lol, once again thank you eReplacement parts

I jumped the gun initially and pulled the engine from the tractor, thinking the connecting rod had broken. I should have checked the valve push rods first. That would have saved me the time of removing the engine from the tractor and replacing the pan gasket and crankshaft oil seal.
It was pretty simple after I determined that my problem was the push rods. I removed the bent rod installed the new one I purchased from eReplacementParts.com. Adjusted the valves(You can find several youtube videos to guide you through this procedure). The engine started right up and I mowed about two hours with it this weekend.
I wish I could tell you why the push rod bent, but I can't. If anyone has an explnation I would love to here it.
