I use Raptor coating. There are a number of similar products out there. It’s the stuff the spray Ute tubs with. Fairly straight forward to use and apply. I just thin it out to max recommended.

With all my machines except my zero turn, I use the minimal amount of rpm that will get the job done. Most of the time my push mower is at 1/2-3/4 throttle. If it will cut at 1/2 throttle why ring the neck out of it? SAme with my whipper snipper. If I can cut at 5000rpm I will. Other times I...

Im a commercial operator and during our wet season could chew a belt in less than an hour if I wasn’t careful. During peak of Covid they were charging $130aud a belt. I then started selling my own. From my experience and feedback it’s usually operator error or wear and tear. Let’s just assume...

There are many free apps available. I use apple. On iPhone and iPad I use “Resize”. Very easy. Open app, select photo and save to required mb count. Can crop and do a few other things as well. Android would have similar options. Saving photos such as pdf and converting will effect you image...

I’m doing the preseason maintenance now. Deck is stripped. Going to paint it. Also modify the tension idler. I’m putting in a bearing instead of the bolt and bush which just gets pulled through the deck. I think the unit I have put in may be a little on the light side but will see. Few cracks to...

I’ll probably order direct from Warner once the dollar improves.

I think he was just making a point.

Thanks Startech. Looks like I’m replacing the whole lot. What a waste. Not practical to machine one up. I contacted Warner and they said they cant supply it seperate.

Are you sure about that? I thought it was a press fit onto the shaft. The riveted sections were part of the clutch assembly. The pulley is not part of the clutch and is only connected via the shaft. That diagram is misleading. Have a look at an actual assembly like the Warner clutch. Nothing...

The problem is I would rather pay $50 to replace a pulley than $700 for a complete assembly. Just seems a waster of money to replace something that isn’t broken. Kind of like buying a new engine because the harmonic balancer is shot. So if anyone knows where I could source a pulley would be...

I don’t want to replace the whole clutch assembly if it’s just the pulley that needs replacing. Seems such a waste. Surely one can be sourced from somewhere. Parts at the moment are very hard to come by. I’m still waiting for blower parts I ordered in January 🙄

Surely the pulley alone can be replaced.

Greetings, The pulley on my clutch assembly (605777k) is worn and I would like to replace it. The item is sold as a complete assembly and the quote I got was $780aud. There are no issues with the clutch just the pulley. Has anyone replaced this pulley and point me in the right...

Mystery solved. I swapped the coil and it started first pull. So frustrating. The spark was jumping over 10mm on the tester. Obviously something going on. I wasted alot of time on that machine but im so stubborn I didnt want it to beat me. The only thing I had left to swap out was the pull cord...

Compression is good!
