Thanks, I've researched and i saw there was a front harness and one for the PTO i believe it was. I could get it running but I would like to have all the safety switches working also.

I bought JD 190C project mower. The wiring is pretty butchered up and I was wondering if the wiring harnesses one can purchase are good quality. I could probably sort mine out but if these harnesses are good quality that would save time.

These are pretty much my thoughts too. I've ordered several carbs off of Amazon and I've gotten good service from all of them. The only thing that upsets me is when a part is listed as OEM and you receive it in a plastic bag. I recently ordered a gas filter for my generator from Amazon, ad...

Looking at a Craftsman DLT2000 with a rusted out 42" deck. Anyone know what problems I might run into if I switch it to a 48" deck?

This is the correct answer. Use the vice grips like he said and it is pretty easy. Just don't pinch your tube.

I had to take the transmission apart on my Poulan Pro last summer, it is the same as the Husqvarna. Some water had gotten inside mine and the shifter had frozen up, so a gasket was the only part I needed. A little tip, every video I watched they took both wheels and tines off. I fought with...

Was that a battery powered saw? I need a pole saw to trim some tree's, been looking at the Harbor Freight ones.

A buddy of mine that was in the trucking business had his own storage tank. Well, the distributor brought him a load of fuel, but it was gas. A CAT engine locked up in his truck. If you're familiar with the price of Caterpillar parts, you can imagine how much it cost to replace his engine.

My personal experience has been fine with the Chinese carbs. I've bought two for 2 cycle engines and those I also got the tool to adjust the air screws with. One for a 6 hp Subaru engine for a go kart and one for my riding mower. They all ran fine out of the box. Only one I returned was my...

In my Stihl chainsaw and weedeatet, non-ethanol definitely runs better. Engines just rev up much quicker and more crisp sounding. I used to do a lot of drag racing and I ran av gas in them. The guy at the airport told me it was at least a 100 octane, this was back in the 80's. Well, if I was...

I've got a 5500w Troybuilt generator with a Briggs engine. It would surge from the time I bought it new until a couple years ago and decided I would look at the governor. Mine had a spring with different holes to hook it in. I switched holes and it smoothed right out. As far as cleaning...

Oh I agree the aftermarket carbs wouldn't be something that a repair shop that stands behind their work would want to use. But I do my own repairs, so I know what I'm getting.

Bert, as many snakes as you guys have, I didn't figure mice would be a problem.

Order you a cheap chinese carb off Amazon or Ebay. Get the number off your carb and also compare the pictures closely, make sure the air cleaner mount and linkage are the same.

I don't deal with the number of engines some of you guys do, but I've bought four Chinese carbs for personal use over the years and they have all worked great. They even sent me the tool to adjust the two cycle carb.
