    TB30 Twin Bagger

    I decided to put the front counterweight on. Not an easy installation for one person but I'll post a few tips to make it easier. The included instructions stink. Some of these you can find on YouTube but I've added one more. When you install the rear mounting bracket, drill out the rear cover...

    Engine TB30 R Back fires every few minutes.

    Mine was doing the same thing. I was lucky because when I took the carburetor off to clean it I noticed the welch plug was turned sideways and ready to fall out, If the plug hadn't been there I probably wouldn't have noticed it missing. Put it back in with a flat punch then covered it with epoxy.

    TB30 Twin Bagger

    I bought the twin bagger for my TB30 rear engine mower. I only intend to use it to clean up leaves in the fall. Is it really necessary to put the counter weight on the front? I wouldn't think dry mulched up leaves would weigh as much as grass clippings. My concern is about adding 21 lbs to the...

    18 HP B&S Charging System

    I replaced my in line diode with a regulator for a 5-9a charging system. Part # 491546. You can find them as cheap as $13 in aftermarket. I had installed a digital voltmeter on my mower and saw that the voltage would climb as high as 17V which I feel would be enough to eventually boil the...

    TB110 push mower, grass buildup

    Decided to bite the bullet and get a mower that mulches, bags and has a side discharge. I didn't realize when I bought it that the TB110 was only a mulch mower. The owners manual even says if the grass has grown over 4" or if it's wet to use the bagger. Decided on one with a Honda motor and 3 in...

    TB110 push mower, grass buildup

    I was wrong about a Gator Blade not being available. It's my rider that they don't make one for. I have a Gator Blade on this push mower. Would the standard blade make any difference?

    TB110 push mower, grass buildup

    Yes it is a mulching mower. I only use it to cut where my riding mower won’t reach. I’m thinking about getting one with a side shoot and using it before finishing with the rider. That way the rider can mulch the clippings. My rider is a rear engine 30” with a mulch plug and doesn’t have that problem

    TB110 push mower, grass buildup

    Taller than normal and last rain was 36 hours ago. My point was that I never had a mower knock as bad as this one when the grass builds up. The first time it happened I thought it was throwing a rod or the blade was coming off.

    TB110 push mower, grass buildup

    I have a TB110 that's only 2 years old. Only complaint is that when mowing tall damp grass, the grass builds up under the deck to the point that it sounds like the engine is coming apart. Blade is not loose. If I shut the mower off a lot of the grass will fall out and it"ll be ok for awhile. I...

    Electric start flywheel

    I have a snowblower with a Techumseh LH195SP 67517D engine. I want to convert it to electric start. Getting the starter is no problem but I need the part # for the flywheel with ring gear so I can find a used one. I know the starter kit is discontinued. Just need to find a flywheel

    21R707 muffler

    I have a Toro TB30R rear engine mower with a B/S 21R707. The part # for the muffler is 592322. Is there a quiet muffler replacement? If not, would a deflecter quiet it down a little? The muffler is fine, it just seems a bit loud to me. Thanks

    3 amp charging system.

    Well I had to try it. Regulator cost me $11.54 and it works fine. Voltage is now at a steady 14.1V. I'm sure there will be responses that this was a waste of time. I've been an automotive electrician for 40+ years and I just couldn't get used to seeing a charging system running that high. I...

    TB30R (26J) Front Wheel Bushing

    Yep, you were right. Thanks again. Don't know where i got the first measurements.

    TB30R (26J) Front Wheel Bushing

    I'm going to pull a wheel off and double check. Of the 2 part #s you gave me one is a 5/8" ID and the other is 3/4" ID. I'm pretty sure my axle doesn't have a step. I ran into this before on another Troy Built rear engine mower.
