I had an old Snapper SP back in the day with a tank susceptible to melting from engine heat. Seam would distort & split. I went through 3 tanks, first one the dealer replaced under warranty although my warranty had expired long before he still took care of that. When I replaced my third tank...

Nitrile O-rings are another great choice, also Chem resistant including fuel/oil and withstand higher temps the Byutyl. Fwiw: Old dead thread but this may help someone? The Dip stick tube O-ring on my neighbors old 80's Vanguard twin started leaking bad because I removed the top tube bolt...

If one orders garden tractor tires from Walmarts website they'll mount them free. I always look on their site to see what's available first when they're needed. I got my Wheel Horse tractor's front tri-rib tires/tubes I bought there mounted free but not tried to get tubes alone fwiw?

By far the best sealer I found is right here. Slime says 2yrs, this states 10yrs. I put slime in my original 1976 Wheel Horse AG tires a couple seasons & I kept having to air them up anyway. I read up on tire sealers & found this "Flat Out". It's been a few yrs since I aired them up after...

Can't just swap the hub off a B6000 I guess? That would make chit too easy huh..lol Fwiw- You can do a normal parts search on Ebay, then click "save search" at top of page so any future rims that are listed will be emailed to you asap. Craigs site does this too but I think it just says "Have...

If I run 10w30,10w40 *(syn or dino) in any of my Kohler K/Magnum engines they always burn oil. Straight 30 they never do burn it. Kohler actually states in their Operator manuals these engines will burn oil when a 10w is used but says it can be used if desired. Ive ran straight 30 in mine over...

Several yrs ago I needed a new Briggs engine for one of my Snapper SP's (rear disc drive not MTD specials). I owned 4 then, two 3&1 and two Ninjas. I noticed on Briggs site they had no push mower steel sleeve engines listed so I called them. They stated they just stopped making them the prior...

Old post but I fully agree!! I'll double down on the seat switch being a Posi. Ive re-installed several on used Garden tractors I bought over the yrs before operating them. Always the first to get modified but pull a big mower off a close freind/relative just one time, it sort of makes one see...

Welcome to the forum! This is what I call an "Educated Idiot" and we have "MANY" walking around. Fyi- Old Mopar man myself but sold my last one over health 3yrs ago, an original lady owned 69 Superbee. My daily driver well over a decade. One of the original 5000 N96 Ram Air/side scoop models...

Spindle on my wifes 2006 YS4500 with 42" deck has never been off till today. I checked torque on both sides before I started because I cant locate the pulley nut spec anywhere online? Both sides took about 110lb before the nut finally broke loose. They're on pretty tight Id say. I found so...

Do I have a steel measuring stick? Nope not anymore! I downsized a few yrs ago & sold/gave away/hauled off the biggest portion of 55+yrs of cra# gathering. My 3 car garage, 1 pole barn, 2 outdoor buildings (1 car garages) & 1500sq ft basement worth of this, that and the other mostly all...

I used to have a belt tool 20yrs ago but it was in one of my tool boxes that was stolen from my van. I wish I had it measured, I saw 96", 104" & 103" stated for this MTD belt length when looking it up? That old belt may have just stretched enough to fall off but 2 seasons is awful fast for as...

Very old post but for future MTD mower owners be sure you look up the correct year not only the model number. MTD makes parts changes way too often because they simply dont test their poor designs very long before they're units get released. Also information isnt passed along right either. Just...

Full Syn withstands heat much better than any dino oil ever will and last much longer. My brother (retired) worked for Babcock Wilcox designing jet/rocket engines and steam turbines for nuke plants since the 1960's. He tells us all to run nothing but full syn in any engine due to syns...

Just had a package make it clear across the US to the next town over just 30 minutes away from me then took off & landed two states over. Tracking stopped there. 3 days later it magically shows up on my porch..lol
