I got a postcard in the mail about this class action lawsuit and they will pay you up to 35 bucks for a push mower or 75 bucks for a riding mower or get a extended warranty. THought yall may want to check this out.

SHHHH!!! don't tell everyone!! The more that get involved the less we get!!

 

I got 2 cards. I dont like class actions. So what they exaggerated the HP, they cut just fine. The only winners will be the attornys.

 

Heck!
It's like winning Bingo on a Saturday night!
6 pushers and 2 riders!
Thanx

 

I've had a bunch of riders and pushers... luckily I kept all manuals and receipts for them!

I wonder why they didn't include items like pressure washers, go karts, and the like that use those engines.

 

I got the same card in the mail. It also said you may can get an extended warranty? I don't like class actions either but the extra warranty would be nice!

 

Most likely outcomes here:

1) You didn't even notice the difference in your mower

2) You might get $0.35 when it's all said and done - 10 years from now

3) Some law firm will make millions

4) Victory will be declared - by above mentioned rich lawyers

5) Your "defective" mower will have long since died and gone to mower heaven

6) Nothing will really have been accomplished

7) President Obama will win another Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts on this one

 

Thats what i was thinking about was the extended warranty dont really care about the little bit of cash.

 

This is exactly why stuff cost more than it should! How freaking far off could the HP rating be that it would make a difference to any body? They probably foung something off in the way the HP ratings are measured, but it is probably used as a standard in the industry (didn't cross all the i's and dot the t's or something)
Imo they should use the mowers on the ***tard (bas or re, you pick) lawyers.

 

.....and the cost of goods goes up across the board for those companies.
No thanks.

 

And most people wonder why manufactured items are so high priced. Here's your answer.

 

I was hoping for an engine fault. my parents bought one with a Briggs 18 hp Intech. For some reason it lost compression. My Dad took it apart, and it looks like it swallowed a tiny piece of metal. but there are no screws missing anywhere inside the filter element. He also put a plexiglass cc shield over the cylinder, and it is putting out compression. We haven't figured out what it could have swallowed. But when it happened it was just outside the warranty date.

I printed the papers, who knows maybe he can get a new engine out of the deal.

 

Check the retainers on the valve springs or the springs themselves.
As for me I gonna go and get my snapper dynoed (sounds painful) but I don't think I can continue to mow my yard with only 4 7/8 HP!!!
But maybe somebody could clear this up for me: Is that crank shaft HP or at the blade? Just want to make sure I'm diong it right!!!

 

Actually, if I understand it correctly, some of this was caused by the govt making them slow the blades down because of injuries from things being thrown and blades shearing. They reduced the available HP but kept the high numbers. If you will notice, it includes just about every engine manufacturer out there. Bottom line is, my mowers cut well, that is all I care about.

 

I just took a quick look at it myself. But it could have been a retainer clip.
I guess we could bust the muffler open to see what's in it.
