I just completed the crankshaft seal replacement....and guess what.....in my haste to fire it up, I managed to knock all the fins off the hydro fan. I didn't hear a thing...while it was running I looked down and said to myself "it's spinning so fast you can't even see the blades turning !"
After I shut it off and looked down, guess what....I couldn't see the blades at all. I had the rear fender off and the "release lever" had swung over and made contact with the blades and sheared em clean off. They're on backorder till the end of this month....so I'd like to get one because my grass won't wait. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
