    The grass may be greener on the other side of the fence but it still has to be mowed.

    CV461s 16 HP. New aftermarket carb, won't run correctly?

    I don't have close to the knowledge as the other guys who replied to this post but I've had a similar experience with a generator. I've used after market carbs, even the cheapest Chinese built carbs on the market on some of my equipment and they worked fine. I bought 3 after markets carbs for...

    Can you identify what model this chipper is

    I'll give it a try. Thank you. If I remember correctly that's the only part of the chipper that had any sort of numbers that might help I.D. it.

    Can you identify what model this chipper is

    I don't know. I was hoping there was some chipper guru out there who could take a look at the pictures and magically pull the model number out of the index in his brain. I guess it won't be that easy. I see your point Tiger Is there any way I can identify this chipper? It was an excellent...

    I made sure to do one at a time and match them up. I did try to swap them from side to side and they would rub on the mowing belt holder.

    The drag link I'm replacing is pretty bad so I ordered the entire assembly. The box they came in was about 3 feet long 2 feet wide and tall. I thought they shipped the wrong part. When I opened it there was 1 piece of packing paper and the 2 drag links. The parts look great but with shipping...

    I'm glad you mentioned what else to look for. The bushing is bad beyond belief. Everything else looks pretty good. I ended up ordering all my parts from searsdirect. They were not too much more in price than what I found on amazon. I figure it is worth the extra cash to ensure the parts well...

    Great advice. I will replace both sides. I figure no matter if only one side went bad the other may be soon to follow. Now I need to find a write up on aligning them. Thank you

    I actually looked at searspartsdirect but could not figure out what part it was. I must have been way off because I saw no mention of a drag link. One more question for you guys. Should I buy from searspartsdirect and ger the oem parts or should I go on amazon and buy a knock off? I worry about...

    Thank you guys. I wish I would have posted this sooner instead of driving myself crazy until 2:30am. The model number is: 917.289140 I will be buying the correct parts to fix it. The bolt trick is a great tip if I'm in the middle of a job and it breaks again. Thanks again. You guys are awesome.

    Hi. Can anyone help me find the name to this part. I need to order one to get my mower back mowing. It is on the front end of a craftsman yts 3000 riding lawn mower. It is part of the steering and the round piece (I guess it can be called a sleeve?) that wraps around shaft broke and no longer...
