I can relate. I once saw a head off a small block chevy that my friends tried to remove. They took out the two rows of long head bolts, but didn't realize there was a third row of short bolts out on the thin edge (covered with grease). They thought it was just stuck, so put pry bars in the ports and pried and hammered till they broke off the edge of the head. Amazing.

When you moving to Kansas Bob?

I have a Swisher mower I ran over the blade engagement cable, a clothes dryer that's squeaking and little Suzuki 4-wheeler I can't get started.

I need a Lil hep. :wink:

Bob- Is that one of your machines. If so, how long ago was it built. BTW- You didn't answer the question, what broke the blower.

Forgot to grease the blower for a couple years. Gears froze up and slammed the lobes into the casing.
