    Removing engine on murray riding mower
    I have a Murray riding mower. The engine was vibrating and it took me awhile but found two screws missing. I put two back in but engine still vibrate. Further investigation showed that the holes in the engine plate had reemed out and the screws were not holding the engine steady. My question: I need to put in a new engine plate. How hard is that for someone without any expertise on this matter? Thanks! George

    You don't... I'd recommend oversized washers... small enough holes so the bolt can still go in, but large enough diameter so it overlaps the hole by a good amount... just need one per bolt.
