G'day Folks,

LRT, your story reminded me that as a kid I did the very same thing more than once to dad's near new (back then) Tractor 8. Giving it serious what for in the long grass and it just wound down. Was bricking it the first time it happened but I just let it cool down and away it went. I don't think I ever told him about it

25 years later I took the engine out.! Good 'Ol B&S.
Cheers,
