Husqvarna HU700F FWD mower that I recently sold. He was not happy that the mower was not handling the steep incline. I checked and saw the wheels were spinning on the thick grass and seemed to have a mind of their own and wanted to wander but got no where (like ice.) I agreed to replace the...

I'm rehabbing a Troy-Bilt 360 with a B&S 875EX engine. I have more time than money invested in mostly repairing the stupid push handle that propels the mower. Now after getting it running nice, I find that the the rear wheels randomly lock up when pulling the mower backwards after engaging the...

Hello, would anyone have a pic of properly installed springs on the rear discharge door/chute for this Honda HRX217TDA? Thanks I think the springs are OK but it looks like each one is over $50 so I don't want to mess it up. Thank you.

Hello, would anyone have or know where I could find a transmission control cable part #195989 for a Craftsman 917.377061 RWD mower? I’ve exhausted all the usual sites Amazon, EBay, Jack’s, Sears etc. and it is no longer available. I understand it may have been replaced by Husqvarna part#...

Thank you for your reply and link to the service manual. I found this to be very informative. Page 8-9 and figure 270 & 271 shows how to check the this particular coil with a multi meter and the correct readings. Again, thank you.

Your words inspired me, pulled it off a 3rd time and cleaned again. Running nice now. Thank you.

I'm trying to cure the surging problem...2 cleanings with no results...better but still surging. Thanks for you quick response & being civil.

Would someone be able to point me in the direction for a replacement carb for a Yardman/MTD Yardman12A-A13J-029-339796 ( serial#1k301k32107 )push mower? I can't seem to find one. It is the basic black plastic type. Thank you.

I have a Toro 3072 mower with what I believe is a Toro engine model lc1p65fc engine. Presently it will start first pull and run perfectly. It will not restart when warm. It will sometimes stutter, cough and maybe start and run ok. I've run out of things to check. Is the attached photo of the...

On a Honda GVC 190 w/auto choke, that starts on a half pull, surges/hunts for 15 seconds then runs mint. Runs and starts perfectly when warm but upon cool down, it's the same thing over & over always about 15 seconds. Am I correct in guessing that this is probably more of a choke issue than a...

WOULD ANYONE HAPPEN TO HAVE A STARTER FOR A HONDA HRX217VLA/GVC190? PART # 31200-Z0L-821 OR JOHNSON ELECTRIC 1999-10P0003. EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE BACK ORDERED. I'm being told by several different vendors there is a national back order. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Thank you very much. Just curious, I like to tinker with mowers I pick up at yard sales and make them nice again. Is this a common setup for RWD? I have not see this yet in any push/propelled mowers. Again, thank you very much.

So, the there is no additional pressure being put on the belt as in other mowers but there is an internal clutch for engagement. That makes sense to me. Does the cable attached to the arm causes the engagement? It only moves maybe a 1/2 inch or so. Thank you Rivets.

Hello, I'm seeking advice on a DR Power Equipment RWD Mower w/Briggs & Stratton Engine. I recently purchased this at a yard sale. It is a nice mower with cast aluminum deck. I've got it running nice. My question is the RWD does not feel right. Upon further examination, I just do not understand...

What would be the most common cause of repeated hydro lock on this motor? Husqvarna AWD drive mower w/Briggs & Stratton 6.75 HP motor Locks up every few hours. Thanks
