MF,
the Powertorque is a completely different animal and there is a good reason why you will never see a PT with a bent crank. Firstly it is a shorter crank out of the bottom of the motor and then it is really beefed up by it having the solid boss fitted on the taper and this tapered boss is hard up against the underside of the fan wheel which is up against the underside of the lower seal/bearing so there is no longish section of shaft down to the blade carrier which Briggs and Chondas have.
AVB,
It isn't about learning about them it is the fact they are still only a $50 at best mower after you have spent many hours working on them and then you have the ongoing problems with them because from new they are rubbish and no better than the junk from Aldi. All comes down to why waste you time on rubbish, plenty of rubbish on TV you can waste your time on and be no worse off.
