Virgil_c I live a little far from the big lawn mower market (USA), where everything that is imported is very expensive or difficult to find. Things that are simple and even cheap for Americans, are complicated and expensive for Brazilians, leaving us with the creativity for various solutions...

Well ... I bought another automotive filter with the same thread as the previous one (M20), only a little bigger. This decision was not to further spoil what was started by the previous owner. I also opened the old filter to analyze more filings and get to know it from the inside. I washed...

In fact, there is little information about VST, where the manufacturer recommends a complete replacement, if the problem is not solved by the few tests indicated in the manual. The exact reason for this is unknown, but I can quote some such as the decision not to manufacture anymore, difficulty...

My friend, the oil specified by the manufacturer will always be the best oil, as he has tested and approved the use.

As a user, I would be afraid to use a lawn mower in such a situation ... and I would not buy one with a fiberglass deck without a good iron mesh inside. I say this because, for a brief period, I used a similar cutter and ran over stumps and stones that would most likely break a fiber deck or...

My level of knowledge in this equipment is very low, so some questions may seem naive, but I believe they are valid since most users are in fact ignorant and I believe that this forum exists to clarify doubts about defects, operation, exchange experiences as you and many others do so gently. Of...

Analyzing the oil ... Due to the lack of knowledge of a standard procedure (which can even be centrifuging and not magnetic), I adopted a very simple one that can be seen and understood by the photos and video below, remembering only that the oil was not at the working temperature and that the...

When you work on what you like, the result is always good, because the commitment is maximum, as well as the result.

Really, spending my time on the things I like is fun ... boring is not having the materials on hand and taking a while to get them, doing is another fun. Just as there was no magnetic plug in my car, after putting it on I was amazed at what was circulating and I imagine the harm it does ...

A small modification ... Nitrile rubber is expensive and would still have to be adapted ... but there is an almost inexhaustible and free source on the floor of car workshops. It is an O-ring of the fuel injector nozzles. Then... I tried to make an aluminum washer, it didn't look good ...

Not at all ... you just need a good carbohydrate fuel.

I am the owner of a lawn mower that can be driven for about 3 or 4 months, which in reality has not yet cut a lint of grass, because the machine I bought used was either very badly treated or I am very demanding. The fact is that I have seen a lot of material on the subject due to the needs of...

Nobody talked about PO?

You know something is good, but can it improve? So it is...

I totally agree ... but when the option is too far away or too expensive, there are other possible and fully acceptable options ... not for everything, of course!

Be careful with Murphy's law ...

Hey, guys... The washers arrived ahead of schedule ... Although the lock washer is not a very hard steel, it should last a long time and I now have several. Due to the thicknesses it was not possible to place the 3 (1 lock and 2 spacing, according to the drawing), the lock must spend first...

Evolution 2... Turned and ready parts. Connected parts. Note: soft washer is missing and exchange EVA rubber for another nitrile.

Evolution ... Turned and ready parts, lacking a nitrile rubber, a soft washer and a small chain to hold the lid. Preparation of the exagonal part. Internal turning with the same size as the connection pipe Detail of the internal channels for better sealing. Turning the sealing pin to the...
