First, I would recommend you contact Boiling Springs Small Engine Repair on Highway 9. They are a husqvarna dealer and may be willing to help, but I doubt it. Second, find out where Husqvarna US headquarters is located and file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau that covers that...

Don’t let your wife on it. You may never get it back.

These “never drain your oil” mowers/engines are nuts. I would never buy one. I’m one of those who over maintains my equipment. An example is my backup portable generator.. I change oil in it once a year - regardless. I occasionally start it, bring it up to temperature and test the output...

Several years ago, I bought an oil vacuum extractor. A plastic tank that has an internal manual pump that creates a vacuum. With the included hoses/tubing you’re able to remove all of the old oil without any mess. I’ve been fortunate enough it also works really well on my truck and car. Costs...

I did install a two stage air filter but had never thought of removing the housing to access the cooling fins. Thank you very much for an extremely helpful piece of information.

I have the 75747 with my ride I guess going on my third year. My property isn’t level and was a bit disappointed with the traction so I upsized my tires and wheels. I purchased mine with the bagging system and immediately added an hour meter. I’ve also fabricated a chute blocker to keep...

Yes I did complete the installation and am extremely pleased with the results. Can’t say that I have identified any negatives from the changes I’ve made. It has provided a noticeable improvement in the overall traction. Especially when wet.

Hey, just asking honest questions and have conversations trying to gather legitimate and accurate information on how better maintain and utilize my lawn equipment.

Your comment seemed valid to me but a couple of questions still lingered. If they’re so damaging, Why would they include a washout port and why no caution statement in the owners manual. So I started looking around and found a video put out by Toro which states that you should washout the deck...

Toro offers an enhancement kit for my 42” fabricated deck which I considered. I’m confident that it will improve collection of clippings. My concern, and the reason that I didn’t purchase the kit, was it will create areas where clippings will collect and lay on the baffles (like small...

I think that I’d try it with the bags removed rather than the top chute. It will likely direct the debris straight down and back. I think removing the top chute would put a lot of debris on and potentially in your engine. Either way airborne dust is going to be really high. Suggest a dust mask.

I’m going to mulch my leaves using my chute blocker then run over the areas again with my bagger installed. The overall volume of the leaves should be significantly less. At least that’s what I’ve read on some YouTube posts.

I have the same unit. Luckily, mine came with the strap which I rarely use. It’s a pain to stretch down far enough to pull over the end of the steel hold down rod. I don’t think I have that much leakage of clippings to make a difference. The strap needs to be longer for reasonable use.

Found it. Thanks for the link. Looks like the whole setup would be around $250. I’m sure it works better than mine but I’ve got less than $50 invested. I have a bagger for mine as well but prefer to alternate bagging/not. Get some of the clippings recycled back into the lawn especially now...

Ok, now I understand. Good luck on getting this sorted out. Tough to beat free..
