One of those days...

Today I went to mow the yard and my Broadmoor was doing alright for once until the right blade made a creek and stopped. Moved on to a fixer upper and the plastic bendix gear snapped off. Moving on to other possibilities I concluded stealing the starter off the parts tractor to make it work. Bleh, just to mow a 1/8th acre:O I have been buying/reconditioning to sell cheap tractors as a side biz lately with moderate success. One thing I have noticed is problems seem to come in clusters oddly enough. For a while it has been MTD steering shaft gears(getting that part number memorizedsm00) Now it is 12hp Briggs Connecting-rods. Anyone done one of those rebuilds? I am waiting on the parts to arrive for a pair of them and trying to research beforehand. One still has valve action and the other one does not. Both turn freely. One appears to have had oil but the PO had an extremely sloped yard so I think he over-tilted the oil. The other was distinctly lack of oil on the dipstick by an owner(still owner) who confessed he didn't do maintenance. Oddly it is that one that has the valve action. Any tips or thoughts?

        Over a year ago, you answered a question I had about the tool bar for my FDT. In your reply dated Dec 31, 2019  you said the spacer, part #16, goes in the bar to allow for up and down depth adjustment. does this mean the bolt has to be tightened at whatever depth desired or does the bolt slide up and down, allowing the lower hitch to free float?
         If it is tightened so the lower hitch and the bar are rigid, then is the depth to be controlled by the shoes? Or by the lift handle?
        Is there any kind of user directions for the tool bar? The Outdoor Power Manual basically shows how to assemble the bar but not how to use it
