Another fan opted for the Factory Fresh option for their heirloom motor. Runs as good as it looks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HJZj0-mBeA

5hp Briggs
Sweet looking engine! Sounds very healthy! Nice job Rocco! My 5hp runs real good in its original glory. One day I may go threw the hole machine. The mower is in such good shape and I love using it. Might be a good retirement project.

where can I get one? I'm trying to build the same mower I had in the 70s
5hp Briggs.
That model is out of production 20 years now. I can build you one though.

I would be happy to find a complete core to rebuild too. My mower has the 4hp now
5Hp briggs
Do you have cores or parts?
5HP briggs
I can get new core. I have some parts. I can build you a motor out of mostly new parts or all new parts. Any used parts will be made new again.

Is there a way to instant message?
Chat system
I'm not sure we'll keep the chat system going or not, but I have enabled it for now since you mentioned "instant message". It should appear at the lower right of the screen. At the least we can try it out. If you would rather send a user a "private" message, click on their username, then click on the contact tab which provides a way to send a message to another user which will be forwarded to their email.
update 2pm, 17th: it appears that the chat system is not working as well as intended. I did get a message from Rocco but my messages to him only popped up after a long while. I will disable it soon and maybe replace with some different code.
Chat system
I dont see a contact tab anywhere..i see the chat box
Contact tab
Users can change the setting in their profile to disable the contact tab if they don't want people to be able to send them email through the site in this way. I see that Rocco has it disabled (not sure if this was intentional or not). I got your reply in my email btw.

Let me know what you have
Chat
I work all weekend, That being said I'll log in all day tomm (Sat.) and see if I get into trouble here. If I'm working I can chat all day. I wont usually log in at home.
Mission Statement
We all have different opinions reguarding lawnmowers. Im not a brand specific guy when it comes to lawnmowers. I like my two mowers equal one being a Sensation and the other being a Bobcat. I appoligize if I ticked any one off. I red the mission statement and removed any Bobcat material from the website. From this point forward I will speak only Sensation as per mission statement. Ted
Mission statement
It's supposed to be funny...No worries, nobody here gets ticked off. This is a fun site.. If you read in forums and craigslist a lot of people refer to Sensations as bobcats. You're cool, and your bobcats are welcome too! Just hide them behind a Sensation! :)
