    These new gas can spouts are a real PITA.

    Husqvarna YTH24V48 barely goes forward

    Fixed, I hope. Star Tech was right about the pulleys. The "V" pulleys seemed ok, but the "Flat" pulley had a big damaged spot about an inch long....looked like a part of that plastic pulley had melted. I replaced all 3 pulleys and the drive and deck belts. It was a bit of a chore, but after...

    Husqvarna YTH24V48 barely goes forward

    Yes, its a TuffTorq K46, and their website has some good info. I also found some video's on UTube that might help. We've got some running around this week....doctor, dentist appt's, etc., so later in the week I think I'll remove the deck and crawl around underneath it and see if there are any...

    Husqvarna YTH24V48 barely goes forward

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will take a closer look at the drive belt pulleys, etc., in coming days, At least the mowing season is pretty much over for this year, and I'll have plenty of time to work on this before Spring arrives. I looked at the cost of replacing the transaxle, and it...

    Husqvarna YTH24V48 barely goes forward

    I bought this mower in 2018, and it has 328 hours on it. I keep it well maintained and about the only trouble I've had was a leaking front tire that I fixed with some "Slime". Today, it barely creeped forward, but if I pushed the pedal to full reverse, it nearly pushed me forward off the seat...

    Husqvarna YTH24V48 barely goes forward

    I went out today to do some mowing and my Yth24v48 would barely move "forward". Reverse moved strong. I found that if I barely pushed the Forward pedal, I could get it to move, but the further I pushed the pedal the less it would move. I used it about 10 days ago and it worked fine. I...

    toro lawn mower

    I had the same trouble with my Toro Personal Pace, last year. After trying several things, I installed a new spark plug, and it hasn't failed since. The old plug looked ok, but apparently when it got hot, it failed.

    USPS/Ebay delivery

    I've been buying and selling on EBAY for over 20 years....well over 800 transactions. I have only had One issue, and EBAY/seller quickly refunded my money.

    Trying to decide between 2 21" mowers.

    I've got a Toro Personal Pace that is at least 10 years old. I change the oil and filter as recommended, and it still works great. I may get a new set of front wheels before Spring, but that's about it after hundreds of hours mowing. OH...and a couple of spark plugs.

    I Hope You Order New Equipment ASAP

    We drove past a nearby John Deere dealership yesterday, and their lot was nearly empty. Usually they have dozens of tractors of all sizes sitting out front, but there were only about 5 or 6 tractors there....all of them the larger models. It appears that the supply chain and manufacturing...

    Need Tips For Leaf Removal With Riding Lawnmower

    I have a mulching "plate" for my Husqvarna riding mower, and I just slip that on, and take a nice ride around the yard. That grinds the leaves up nicely, and ads some "nutrients" to the soil for next years lawn. We live in a dense forest full of Oak, Walnut and Hickory trees, and if leaves had...

    Husqvarna YTH24V48 will not start

    I've got the same mower. A couple of years ago, mine acted the same way. After "fussing" with it for a couple of hours, I discovered that I had inadvertently pulled the "attachment clutch switch"...which engages the deck clutch/drive. I pushed the button back down and it fired right up...

    Stihl BR340 bogs down when warmed up

    Never mind...I figured it out. There is a "air" hose going from the air filter housing to the gas tank....allows some air pressure to build up in the tank. There was some sort of "obstruction" in that hose....not allowing enough fuel pressure to the carb at full throttle. I replaced that...

    Stihl BR340 bogs down when warmed up

    My BR340 backpack blower starts and runs good for a minute or two when cold. However when it warms up, it bogs down badly at full throttle. I replaced the fuel filter, air filter, and spark plug...no change. I removed the muffler spark arrestor...no change. I bought an aftermarket carb kit...

    Toro 20332 Recycler - rear drive issue

    I had similar troubles with my Toro 20332 last year...grinding noises, etc. The wheels and gears all seemed ok, but when I checked the transmission, it was shot...the main bearing was bad, and the pinion gear was worn. I wound up replacing the entire transmission and it has worked great since.
