I'm looking forward to the pressure release repair. I picked up a used machine for cheap from someone who was moving, supposedly with a bad starter, put a new starter on, lasted about half the season, and got weak again... Very very similar characteristics so what you experience trying to start it. The only difference I think is that it's the 21 hp version of that same engine, and all the same pennys pinched at the factory.

I’ll be starting that repair today. I decided to go within OEM camshaft which was like 80 bucks. they sell aftermarket camshafts for 30 bucks, but I wouldn’t trust it for how important this little tractor is to me. The compression release is apparently a very common failure on these engines.
