Ok so I am overhauling a lawn mower engine and replacing the gaskets, trying to remove the blade adapter. It will NOT come off. I used a little hand torch and I wasn't able to get the adapter cherry red but I used a crank puller various times, used penetrating oil, I even used kerosene on the thing to set it a fire, I banged the hell out of it with a hammer, and it just wont come off. There is no loose rust on it, but the thing is over 10 years old. Any ideas or thoughts?? I tried different things throughout the past 2 weeks and its not working.

Answer
If it screws on try removing it in a clockwise direction. It that doesn't work then I would say two weeks of trying is long enough. Take it to a lawn mower repair service.

What are the consequences if I overfill with oil on a lawn mower engine?

I decided to get rid of some oil and i decided to change my lawn mower oil. I had some left and went ahead and poured the whole bottle in there. The oil level is just a bit higher than the "High" market. My engine is burning a little oil. How much can this damage my engine?

Answer
Being a little over full shouldn't cause damage.It may result in an increase in oil splash withing the crankcase which may allow some oil to enter the crankcase breathing tube.This oil will be drawn into the carby and may result in some smoke blowing or possibly some spark plug fowling.The engine my seem a little less powerful due to increased drag on the crankshaft caused by a higher than standard oil level.
