Briggs and Stratton Crankshaft binding after installing new bearings and rod

I am rebuilding a Toro CCR3650 Briggs and Stratton 6.5 horsepower motor, the piston, rod, and connecting rod bearings were damaged by the motor running at a very high speed. I have installed the connecting rod bearings using white grease and attached it to the crankshaft. When I rotate the piston, it now appears to be binding in one location. I don't know where it is binding, as it should rotate smoothly. The crankshaft appears to be in good condition. I have not used any emery cloth to lightly sand it down. Does anyone have any thoughts? The crankshaft may have now a flat spot on it after the engine got damaged. I am considering on either purchasing a new short block, or just replacing the crankshaft. Thank you for your help!

$10 1986 Snapper

Picked this up a couple days ago. Would not start and was missing belts, cleaned the carb and belts are on order. Starts on first pull, just wish the grass would grow and the rain would stop for a while.

2012 Turf Tiger MODEL: STT61V-791DFI dies while mowing

I have a Turf Tiger with a problem that is driving my family nuts. The mower is 2012 Turf Tiger MODEL: STT61V-791DFI SERIAL: G5100046 HOURS: 906, it is water cooled, fuel injected Kawasaki 29HP with a 61 Velocity Deck.

I have searched online for a while and have not found anything much to help. For the last 3 months the Turf Tiger just up and bogs down while mowing and then dies. If you shut of the mowing deck quickly, it will keep on running. It happens sometimes after 1-2 minutes and sometimes after an hour or two.

I changed the plugs, fuel filter 3 times, after finding so much dirt I drained the gas tank and cleaned it pretty good. I added some fuel treatment and premium gas to fill the tank.

I would really like to mow my yard & leaves before storing it for the winter.
Thanks to anyone with ideas.

Troy-Bilt 47321 Chippewa style chipper/shredder

Hi All,
I am running a Craftsman (MTD) 8hp chipper/shredder, probably 20+yrs old. It runs fine but I'm looking to upgrade. Can anyone tell me about the Troy-Bilt 47321 Chippewa style 10hp chipper/shredder, including when it was made and how it compares with the Craftsman I have, and how it compares with a Bearcat 8hp chipper/shredder. The Troy-Bilt 47321 is available with an asking price of $450 and claims to be 3 yrs old.....:confused2:

I have used a Bearcat 8hp and like the clutch mechanism, missing from the Craftsman but present on the Troy-Bilt. I haven't been able to locate much about the 47321, just a parts list... no manual or comments to be found. I'm guessing its an early nineties vintage.

Thanks for any comments/info.
