    Is my problem the park Plug Gap? Mower manual says .040, engine manual says .030.

    I have a fixer upper YTH2348 Husqvarna mower (Model 960430035 00 - Serial 120806B002718). It is powered by a Briggs and Stratton Intek 23 HP engine (Model 445577 - Type 0755 E1 - Code 061117YG). It sat at a friend's house for a couple of years with a rusted out deck, oil leak, and flat tires...

    Mini Boom Mower attachment for rider

    Anybody ever tried attaching or building a boom mower to a rider? I have been thinking of a practical way to get a boom mower on one of my old riders. It would come in so handy for ditches and pond banks! A trail mower would never do what this thing could do. The weight distribution and...

    Great location for a squirrel nest

    At our second home, I finished up mowing back in early November and parked my Husqvarna in the garage and put my old ATV tarp over it. We have lots of pecan trees at many homes in south Georgia, including ours. The afternoon sun shining into the open end of the garage and the tarp made a very...

    Driving mower at night

    I do it a lot. I mow early mornings now and then so that my day can be free. I added a headlight to my Snapper last year. I bought a wide angle beam instead of a projector, and it works well. I added a single fog light to the rear so that I could see when backing up. I wired and fused directly...

    LED Light Bar

    It's not hard to add a hookup direct from the 12VDC battery by adding an inline fuse and rocker switch. Just be sure to turn off when engine is off! Leaving lights on really zaps a lawnmower battery. I confess that I have learned that the hard way.:rolleyes:

    Husqvarna 2346xls front wheel alignment issue

    Hmm, sounds familiar, only my YTH21K46 that I purchased this past May came from the dealer like that, I am pretty sure. More comments follow pic. Note how the right wheel is turned out, though the steering wheel was turned straight. The left front wheel is straight, but running like this veered...

    No brakes and will not stop

    :eek: A rope and brick for emergency brake would work pretty well, as I've threatened to try. First I tried a set of Fred Flintstone brakes and was disappointed.

    Husqvarna Manual overstates the amount of oil needed when changing

    The Operators Manual recommended amount of oil overfilled my YTH21K46 at oil change. I did my 25 hour oil change today. The sticker under the hood and the Husq manual read that the capacity with an oil change is 64 ounces. I changed oil and filter and poured in two quarts of oil. Well, now I am...

    Help me find a better lawn sweeper!

    I've been using a sweeper a little this year for the first time. It's a little challenging to get the brushes set right so that they'll pickup grass without bogging in and locking up. Raise them a little and they miss a lot of grass. Then you also have to worry with emptying, emptying again...
