I think you did a great job straightening the crankshaft John!! I would replace the seal for that price. Its not a high end mower, but anything that cuts grass is worth $75 or more. Glad to see mom is doing good! 🙏👍🎥🇺🇸
Thanks for the mention brother 🔧👍. Usually when the crankshaft is bent it destroys the seal. The leak will get worse so I would change it. It's always good to see Mom out there helping you 🙏🔧👍
@gravelyman thanks brother and your welcome, I am going to replace it , easier to work on stuff now those cicadas are gone filming was terrible when they were around for 6 weeks here anything mower running they right to it and was swatting them away from me 😄 I ordered a seal for it waiting for it to come in now
Hi John, i would put a new seal in, as you did spend the time straightening the crankshaft that you made a good job of, then you make a few bucks back on your time and the part 👍
@@robertmailhos8159 I wish I did, I bought a few years ago back off of Craigslist along with the handle to pull the old clutch off the recoil for the briggs engines with the ratchet style ball in them

@tinkeringtaylor3053 everyone said to replace it , I will do that, appreciate your feedback there nev sir
I'd replace the seal. Buy a multipack and it'll make each one much cheaper than $7
I will do that . Got them on the way
Well John, I would just put a new seal in it. These little 20 inch guys can bring $100.00 so it's worthwhile.
I will do that,I ordered a steps oil seal, just waiting on to get here to replace
I found a crank shaft straighting tool on Amazon it's not cheap to buy
No they are not
