I have one of the JD Sabre mowers made about 8 years ago. It has a Briggs engine on it and it used oil from day one. It got really bad last year and would smoke heavily if you had it on a slant when mowing a ditch. I like the mower, it is hydro, easy to run and comfortable, has a beer holder built into it. So I had my shade tree mechanic look at it this winter. Turns out it had blown the head gasket because of a "dimple" defect on top of the block. He had a machinist friend build that spot back up, $30.00 for a gasket set and we are back in business. It is no longer using oil or smoling. Pull the engine apart - you may be able to save it, or if you cannot, you might pick up a replacement engine for less than $500.00

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
