I had the neighbors lx 277 drop the bolt,the part of the inside pulley part didn't fall out,tho it's cockeyed and won't go back up and inside to reattach the bolt.You can wiggle an mess with it all you want.Whats the solution?

My old semi fleet mechanic friend use to tell me impact wrenches are for taking fasteners apart.He would always hand start the fastener, any abnormal hand feel,visual inspection,thread file or thread chaser,not tap.Then ratchet to tight.I didn't have his experience so I used my torque wrench...

The right grade clean quality bolts with no boogered threads in either part ,tightened to the proper torque will solve your problem.I would look for a thread maintainer,not a tap,their is a major difference.The tap is for cutting new threads in a hole.The thread maintainer,moves and massages the...

Thanks for quick reply guys . I'm not putting my Grandaughter in any kind of harm.She is a very mature 15 year old Women with her temps for driving a car.Since she is so light,that's the stutter we're getting.Driving a simple lawn mowing hones her skills.Confidence in different situations on...

On my tractor my Grand Daughter doesn't weigh enough to keep the safety switch from shutting off the tractor.I haven't checked it out but I'm looking to disconnect and probably make a jumper to keep the circuit intact.Is that correct,for those that have done it???

It's too late for you,but a good idea for any future mower purchases is to learn the machine.What I mean is,come to this site,read about all the info on the machine you are thinking on buying.When you go to the dealer you have knowledge to ask questions,observe parts in stock.Ask the tech if you...

When you say,the right tools,can you explain in more detail.Thanks,it's always best to stay ahead of the game.Way back in 1970,we had an Ariens 26 inch cut rider.You could tip it up on it's square back to change the blades and clean the deck.The handle bars,steering wheel flipped over so you...

I just went in to my local Kubota dealer to enquire about the repair manual,after unfortunately reading about your experience.They didn't have one for me to look thru,said 3 weeks and 115 dollars,ouch! I passed and I am going to another town,farther away where I originally bought my tractor.Im...

I was hoping for great results and many good tips on tools used and techniques. I really like my machine and didn't expect this out of a fairly expensive machine

My question is how are you getting the tractor up high enough to safely work under it?

Good luck,keep us informed
