Wow, can you come on any stronger? I didn't mishear anything. I posted the quote from the email with the part number from Oregon. I don't need your advice. I'll wait for someone with a bit of tact to answer...

I'm looking for replacement blades for my Radius E. Exmark's site is not telling me exactly what to get and I'm not really into paying Exmark their crazy prices so I reached out to Oregon asking what would be the correct blades. They came back and said : Exmarks parts book shows 5 different...

I am once again looking at log splitters in the 25-ton range. The few I'm looking at come with the engines mentioned in the title. I'm sure the exact engine models would help, but I don't have that info. Are Briggs engines still okay??? I've read some things over the few years that make me...

I've got an almost 30 year old Toro 20449 (GTS2 - SN:7901137) that doesn't seem to have the power it once did. I can't find an engine identifier anywhere, but it's a 5 hp Briggs. I bought it new and have only put and hour on so per year on it as I only use it to mow one hill. Even though the...

Hey all. I changed the hydro oil on my Radius-E at 70 hrs. using a Hydro-Gear kit yesterday. I didn't use the pump or fitting and filled through the reservoir. After all was finished and purged, the oil level in the reservoir was at the Full/Cold line. I didn't drive it at all. Today, I...

I know it's not much of a question, but... I need a gas cap for my Radius E. I see the real thing goes for around $33. Is there a reason to spend that much on a cap? Or could I just get a $12.99 one? Thanks all.

Roll, unless I'm misunderstanding what your trying to do, there's no need to drill anything. Just use a razor knife and cut along the dotted line outlining where the port goes. The hole in the metal for the port is already there - it's just covered by the plastic. At least that's how it is on...

Well, funnin' over the internet is different than funnin' in person. It's hard to tell what where people are coming from. By telling me to 'tough'n' up, I'd say you're a mid-level jerk. Keep trying. Maybe you'll get better.

Why get snarky? I'm interested in something new because what I'm using is 26 years old and I don't feel like getting stuck in my driveway because of failed equipment. Not to mention... because I want to! BTW, my wife's hard to buy for.

Thanks Will. The X500 series is definitely out of my price range. I've got over well over 200' of asphalt driveway with maybe a 25' rise in it. I've been using my 1996 Cub Cadet 2165 with the 40" blower to clear it for 26 years without issue. I have tire chains and suitcase weights. Traction...

I'm half-assedly thinking about a new tractor and I need a snow thrower for it. When looking on the Deere website at X300 & X500 series tractors, they don't list snow blowers. I noticed the same thing on the Cub website. Does anyone know why?

Hey all! I've had a Cub 2165 with the 16hp Vanguard for 25 years. It's mowed my 2 acres and cleared my 225' driveway of snow with the 40" snow blower on it without many problems (I'm in SE Pa.US). The thing has been great. I retired the tractor of it's grass cutting duties last year after I...

That title reminds me of an old joke. Mechanic: It looks like you blew a seal. Eskimo: Naw, that's just frost on my mustache...

That is the complete model number. The actual part number from the manual is: 731-1573. I've found them online, but since I use this thing once every couple of years, I'm not looking for a replacement because they're pricey. I'm just looking for a way to jury-rig it to get some more life out...

Hey all. I've an old White Yard Boss 950 (24A-315C190) that was given to me many years ago. A guy I worked with was retiring and moving to Florida and tried to sell it to me for $400. I said no and 2 months later he told me to just come and take it. Free is about the only thing I'd spend on an...
