Re: This is what happens when you do not change your oil
About a week and a half ago my dad and I were trenching a ditch with our trencher and after about 1/2 hour of it stopping on its own and making lots of noise it literally shot apart, leaving a 2 inch hold in the crank case. At home when we tried starting it we heard loud scraping/metallic noise, checked the oil, completely empty, we think that guy who used it a month before ran it all/most all day without oil then returned it not noticing it being different. We now have to hunt down a new one or replacement engine. Its difficult to find a 9.2 Hp engine with the bolt configuration.
