No. The spring was right, but the pads and the disc were too small. The center hole on the disc needs to be 15mm and the part number you suggested was way too small. I called and talked to a guy at Jack's small engines today and he gave me the model number for the transmission and the part...
Does anyone know the part number for the brake disc for this mower? I was trying to replace the brake pad on mine and I broke the disc in the process. I was able to get the disc off without damaging it any further, but I can't seem to find the part number online. I also need a return spring...
Ok. I'm gonna check that tomorrow before I crank it up again. I did have to clean crud from under the pulleys, but I didn't think to clean the v in the pulleys. Maybe I'll luck out and there's a pebble or piece of wood jammed in there. Thanks.
I just replaced that idler return spring. It helped a little with the vibration. Still looks a little shaky to me, but the new blades, new belt, and new spring all seemed to decrease the vibration. Not sure what else to do at this point. I have another mower with a briggs engine and I...
There was a burnt spot in the belt like you said. I put on a new belt and it seems tighter but still vibrating. I found a broken spring . It's the little spring that attaches to the idler. I looked at a diagram and it says it's the spring return idler. The idler shakes back and forth when...
Im gonna get some of that valve compund next time it breaks. Right now it seems like its holding tight.
It only vibrates with the blades engaged. It would vibrate all the time if it was the flywheel wouldn't it? That's why I was thinking it's the deck causing the problem now.
I neglected to mention I hit a log before the popping started. Sheared the flywheel key, then replaced it and assumed that was not a problem anymore. Tried several more things and gave up. Here I am two years later and decided to check that flywheel key again. Yup. Sheared again. Didn't...
This is poulan pro riding mower with a Briggs engine. Model # 282H07-0196-E1. Brand new Briggs carb. New spark plug. New starter. Battery is reading over 12 volts on my meter. Won't crank unless I jump it off. Once it's running, it stays running and cuts grass, but constant popping...
