No mention of stone bocci balls & sand pit next to the stump...???

Ditto on the make and model #... A 60in deck usually = 3 blades. Maybe the blade on the right is missing, loose, upside down as previous poster stated etc. Pictures and more pictures along with make and model #. Help us help you.

I found a video that explains how to do both including the traction belt. The key for traction belt is to remove from the bottom pully 1st and then pull up from the friction wheel side. Given the friction wheel turns you should be able to pass the old/new belt through the small gap between...

This video shows a full auger rebuild. My issue is not the auger belt replacement as I already was able to install a new one. The issue is not knowing the correct procedure how to remove and replace the smaller traction/drive belt as the clearance is pretty tight. Thanks!

Snapper Model 130.887650 Dual Stage 27" 11.5 TP Snowblower Wanted to replace both driver and auger belts, however could not figure out how to do auger belt as can't quite get clearance to remove drive belt as well as replace new one. The square metal plate on one side and the friction wheel on...

Search this forum for the thread: B&S Valve Adjustment Hiccup (Murphy's law & not a pro) I replaced both head gaskets on a 24HP B&S V-Twin and the gang helped me through it with specs, tips and pointers. You probably want to get gaskets for muffler assembly, carb assembly as well. Torque the...

Thanks Star! Understood that dealer restricted info is hard to access for DIYers. Figured I'd ask anyway for a ballpark range by carb type Walbro and Zama. (y)

Much better to READ what "not to do" than have actually having done it! If you are a DIYer and know it all, then you should expect grief from the pros on this site if you cannot do the 3 L's - learn, listen and list (serial # and model #)

Yes downloaded all the great info on both Walbro and Zama carbs. However the chart info is not there. With no chart (unless you are a pro) a DYIer usually will : 1. Seat H L and turn out T 2. Turn out L in 1/4 turn until she starts and idles at suggested RPM range turning in T 3. Turn out H...

This is great. Can you please post something similar for Walbro carbs? I has all the relevant info including T settings and RPMs. I have both Zama and Walbro carbs and a general chart like this would be great rather than seating H L and then backing out 1/4 turn at a time! I've looked and...

I put Tomcat green mouse blocks on walls tops and floor bottoms inside of shed. Another lesson I leaned the hard way, if you are in cold weather climate and storing for the winter-- on your last use for the season WAIT before putting in the shed. I make sure I leave the rider mower in the...

As a DYIer describing the method of 2-cycle carb tuning is like describing to a kid how to ride a bike with no training wheels. If you keep at it and keep practicing eventually a light goes off! To help me know if I'm getting warm, I use a tach to measure rip-ems, which the pros gauge by ear...

Possibly, however in my case I don't think so (see my longer reply below)

Good points fellas. Correlation does not necessarily equal causation... My neighbor is an old geek engineer like myself who is handy. I think in my case it was a stuck valve that I verified when I removed the bowl. The dark mixture was probably residue just sitting at the bottom of bowl...

What do you guys recommend for pressure washer pump protector? My pump does not have an oil resevoir like some do. The $15 bottle you can get at HD seems like a scam. Thx
