I've never taken apart a twin but I have opened a Quantum. Very little room for the push rod to reside without interfering with something that moves; crankshaft, governor, & camshaft. If the rod is out of harm's way maybe it will be okay but there is always the chance it will move around on a bumpy lawn so I think I would get it out (big job!). Curious what DW6 will say; his skill & knowledge are off the charts.

I had a Kubota lawn tractor with a Kawasaki twin dropped a push rod at 171 hours. I discovered it when it didn't have enough power to run the deck. Tighten up and adjusted lash and now is a good mower. Good catch!

You only have to set the park brake for it to start. What won’t engage is the PTO if the seat safety is not depressed (by sitting on the machine). I still don’t know why the engine bogged down when he wasn’t sitting on the unit when he tried to engage the PTO. Maybe the electrical load on the engine with a charging battery and only one firing cylinder caused the lowered RPMs.

Worked on the same engine on a mower last fall for customer. Bent intake push rod and it swallowed the exhaust push rod. Blown head gaskets, etc. Engine overheating was the cause. Dirtiest cooling fins and block I have ever seen. Got it repaired and it is still running with exhaust push rod in the sump.

When a kid flips the mower on a hill that loose pushrod might get stuck somewhere it shouldn't be. I've already seen a hole in a mower's piston, kid flipped mower let all the oil drain out then continued mowing once he got mower upright.

Would you sell that to a customer with a loose steel pushrod in the crankcase sump? Good thing it’s magnetic & not the aluminum intake rod… Assume that the oil return passage isn’t blocked by the loose rod, or you’d have seen the end & fished it out with a magnet.

With 55-60 PSI that would be about right because of compression release. But that went straight to 60 PSI which is odd. Since the valves weren't working, it would indicate a problem. A good fix. I just wonder if the push rod is in the oil pan, it could create a problem. Maybe.

Stopped video at 12:05. Can tell from the exhaust pulses that there is either a plug or valve issue; I would suspect the later. Looking at some of the comments, I see the valves were the issue.

Hey Mr. DW6, I have a 2 year old Husqvarna 54" mower. It has two problems: (1) It has this habit of running fine then all of a sudden you turn the key to turn it on and nothing, not a click, nothing. Battery is charged, all connections look good. (2) The transmission will not deliver power to both wheels simultaniously. And if you're on a hill going sideways along the hill, it will send power to the wheel on the high side, the wheel that the weight is not on. Does it on both sides and I never get 2 wheel drive. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob

I had the a similar problem with my 48 inch 22HP Husky. After much trying I finally determined it was grass and dirt stopping the "brake on" start interlock lock from working. I looked under the mower as well as I could and spotted the interlock. I removed grass and dirt with my hand and the mower immediately started and continues to start. I spent a lot of time on "other" things before I did this...but a little cleaning of the area where the brake on start interlock is fixed it.......this is easy to check once you locate the interlock under the mower........the mover doing "nothing" is a good sign one of the start interlocks is not working......

Keep it clean will help avoid over heating which can cause head gasket, and valve problems. A good idea to check valve clearance once a year, may not need to be readjusted every year, just good to know.
