90 in. worked great.........thanks for the reply.....

I need a drive belt for an old toro...... jack"s recommends 5/8 x 901/2...tracter supply has 5/8 x 90........can i go short a half in????......or can someone recommend another seller........Jack is OUT OF STOCK.......and I have not bought from anywhere else....... thanks for any ideas......

sheared input shaft woodruff key....not flywheel key,,,,,

Ok thanks a lot........the old drive belt was stretched out so that it was rubbing on itself at the tension pulley........the new belt could have put alot more torque to the tranny that was too much for the old key that was about to give up.......??............I'll get it back together when i...

title explains it.......Is this a common problem??..........I replaced the long drive belt [I could have had some slippage with the old belt] I wonder if that kept the pin from shearing??..........I ran the new belt and the deck for ten minutes on the lawn and the wooddruff key gave up....I...

thanks for the reply...looking at the parts blownup is a good thing......but it leaves a lot to the imagination...I think I have all the parts and I am close to figuring it out........i aslo found a manual on an ariens website......I'll go at it again in the morning....

I bought an ariends mower 935009..........003026.......38" deck........I guess they were made from 79 to 89??.....this machine is in very nice condition for its age the deck still has paint showing on the UNDER side....... I got the briggs running right away and changed the oil and cleaned the...

I tore this one down to the circuit board.......no battery.in it.....I got 12 v to two wires but I couldn't get a flicker anywhere......I think it's dead....It had a nice long life........ thanks for your time,,,

I noticed that the hour meter was not working, so i thought I'de start by checking the plugin........i got a 12v reading on one wire and concluded that if i had power to it, that i should get some kind of reading ......the screen is just blank........Is it wiring or just a dead gage??......I'm...

I hope that you checked the oil carefully before you ran it......if that carburetor solenoid was stuck in the down position .......you could have oil and gas mixed........if you have ran it a while chances are that it is ok.........It happened to me, but I was lucky enough that I got so much gas...

I agree, but the manufacture also encloses the engine........I have just a skeleton tube frame on the sides and front I have only the hood hinged on the top of the engine cover......soooo when i get it running I will check the heat, with and without the tin.......I'll post the results, when I...

The fly wheel will be covered with the briggs hood. I'm talking about the tin side plates.........may I'll do a heat test before I start on the opposite side.....thanks for the comment,,,,,,

Do i need to replace the tin on the sides of this v twin?? I'm installing twin stacks and this tin is a pain to deal with....I have open sides with an open frame built for the hood......I would think the open sides would be enough to keep the heat down???.....but you guys are the experts...

.this morning I had to move it because i needed to do a little welding on a spring bracket on my snow blade.....I ended up starting it three or four times before I parked it again........I checked votage at the battery before I shut it down and the regulator wa putting out 14 volts.......so i...

I haven't been under the fly wheel yet, I'll give it a look and a cleanup.......I think this machine spent some time in a colorado town that is used to at least a couple feet of snow all winter, probably uncovered.........thanks a lot for all the info.........
