I have not considered pickup and delivery but might be I can get the prices I read here, I finished one today John Deere D140, I charged the fellow 700.00 l parts and labor transmission belt and Idlers, Idlers on the deck and that belt, sharpen the blades and changed the bearing in one spindle...

if you can get some measurements and a pic of one, besides the repair shop i have a machine shop i can make you one, consider, Joe

There problem started way back, I had a mower shop opened in 1980, soon after that they decided to put cheaper base gaskets on the 11HP and it would blow out at the camshaft area, well between Briggs and the local distributor they decided to lie and tell us dealers that they customer run it with...

what size deck is it

Its not aviable, sure won't get it at the box store, what does it look like, Joe

with all that information you gave its might be a little hard to give you a suggestion, like it was cutting great then all of the sudden started cutting uneven, right side low, left side low, just one spindle, I hit a root, rock, fell off the drive way, how about what happen before it started...

bertsmobile1, StarTech, you both got it right, I had a shop many years ago, remember when Dynamart Lawnmower company made a deal that they would only sell to Sears, well the next year Murry won the bid with sears Dynamart went out of business, and the low class buyer that buys at the chain...

Well look at it as a the owner would see it, he don't pay them to take things apart and sell them for personal gain, they should be doing his work if there is money to be made it should be the owner, the employee is getting paid, I have a 16' trailer full of mowers that is going to the scrap...

I read the answers guess it is the same everywhere and those dumb asses keep breading, do a lot of repairs at home, fellow came with a Diesel riding mower, real nice, I said let's save you some money, don't lie to me and tell me what it did the last time you used it, he was pissed a Kubota, I...

I would be surprised if you find one, the scrap yards are not like they were years ago, they would let you look around, don't care what you wanted it would show up I started going to one and he got to where he would set the mowers aside, sometimes they were just out of gas, flat tire, I sold...

deal with those idlers and on the spindle shafts you can change the bearing don't have to remove them from the deck the bolts will probably break off in the housing, if you don't deal with that you will be out another belt and then have idler and spindle problems, if you can hear that noise at...

do you have the right belts, remove them, spin each Idler to see if they growl and the same with the spindle bearings, start simple if you say that the motor runs good if not sure that would be the time to test the engine to see how it runs.

get to your PTO switch, start the mower then pull the pig tail off the PTO switch, see if that kills stops the clutch, I have removed a lot of them and even replaced several, that is my first to hear of that, let us know, Joe

I had a Lawn sales and service shop years ago, the Toro 11-32 Rear Engine Rider was the biggest seller, that was a fine quality mower, there was an I Idler from the engine to the mower deck, when you would lift up on that flat strap and put it in the upper notch it was in the grass cutting...

I that an older mower, I will have two of them they had a lever just below the steering wheel that you pulled up to engage the blade so yours had an electric clutch.

is it new model say in the last two years.

put a blade on it and a flywheel key, tighten the flywheel not tight I mean tight, you have enough in the key way for it to work, that would cost less than a new mower, like slomo said do a walk around, I remember that as a kid the old folks make you walk the yard first, that is when they called...

you can do it, don't give up or give in.

Something was hit, blade should be bent or a good size nick unless it was a tree root, that leave not show of contact on the blade, I would say bent crankshaft, I made a unit to fix them in the engine that was 50 years ago and got the pattern from an old lawnmower shade mechanic, really he...

just finished one, remove the deck, steering rods for the fan gear (the one with all the teeth, remove the nut then pull the column, why are you changing it assuming the small gear is out could be the busing, one at the bottom and one at the top if I remember correctly, when you put it back in...

did you put one of those Chinese carburetor, they are crap, loosen the fuel cap, you might not think that it is pressured up but you would not hear it if it was, if you have the originally Carb. put a kit.

sounds ok, now cut the grass, if you ever have to take the coil off again, sand the two bosses that stick up from the block, it grounds on the surface area not the threads.

you can get the carb. at a mower shop but you can save money with that Chinese crap that don't work, they have not figured out how to make a high speed jet, I seen on the video that you choke it slightly so problem solved, did you try it under a load to see if it will level out, when you done...
