It's a sad day

Stuff happens sometimes, and as the wizers above note, you might be happier with newer equipment. Or if finances are a concern, there is a large market of used tractors out there from those of us who upgraded.

Either way, don't let it get you down too much - get out there, get a replacement & get on with enjoying life again. Most of us enjoy our yard work for therapy - this website is evidence of that! :thumbsup:

Have fun,

There once was an LT150,
Who's owners thought it was quite nifty.
But the block got a crack
From a connecting rod whack.
For maintenance, it's not wise to be thrifty.

They don't like to be overheaten.
From grass, mud, twigs and leaves beaten.
If you get a new block,
the same problems will flock.
When choosing the oil don't be cheatin'...

Hiya,

I had a British motorcycle that suffered the same fate, I told people that I didn't ride it anymore because the magneto shorted out, neglecting to tell them it was because the connecting rod came through it....

But anyway, you now have the perfect excuse to get one of the all time great Deere's, there are two 318's in your area on CL if your location in your profile is correct. A high hour but rebuilt w/ 46" deck for 1200 and a low hour with a 50" deck, tilt and dump PTO driven MCS for 1500. Either of these is a lot more tractor than your lt150 or a new x300/500 series.
