Drain plug on the hawk 250cc

[Thumper]

Toro? Wow. It makes sense as an explanation...Corporate ownership and profit targets that must meet investors expectations are driving quality down instead of up. Ironic. Briggs and Stratton engineers know how effective oil changes affect their engines longevity.

As far as the Craftsman lawn mower is concerned, the engine is still a one pull start after more than a decade of service... I had to modify the governor (wasn't making anywhere close to 6.5hp), and I keep up with oil changes. Also keep a good air filter in it and change the spark plug semi-annually (I think). So the quality is still there. I just have to deal with the oil change stupidity. Really. This is disappointing.
