Was trying to cut hay yesterday, PTO powered mower on 2pt/3pt hitch. Was tough going because of damp thick grass and undergrowth. Had throttle set higher than usual.
Engine suddenly stopped, and I couldn"t get it to turn over with starter. Dragged it home, and removed governor and pan. Everything looks OK underneath, and thru the governor opening.
