One last thing to try before buying a starter. Rap the starter lightly with a rubber mallet or the wooden handle of a hammer just enough to jar it . For the record anytime I wash a mower I do it with the engine running

Well I received my brake cable today . It is installed and working. It is now on my usable mower list . It is starting to run good new gas and just using it seems to help

They were going to pay someone to haul them off before one of the maintenance managers stepped in It allows me to organize and spread out my tools that I use often . I can get the rest of my tools that I don't use much in a single box so they aren't in several boxes and buckets . I used the...

Work is updating their code blue crash carts . Maintenance was offered the old ones. I got 2 for our church to replace tool boxes destroyed when they broke into our barn and one for myself. These are 6 drawer 30 in boxes on good wheels . I was able to consolidate 5 boxes and a 5 gallon bucket...

I buy 12 gallon of 91 octane ethanol free gas around Nov. Add seafoam to it to have on hand for the generator. Just in case we have an ice storm any unused gas is run in my equipment in the spring. I usually don't buy gas until mid June . I have never had a problem, I have been doing this for...

Considering I have about a half acre I think I have it covered . Oh and I forgot the Cub Cadet wheeled string trimmer. In my defense the Gravely professional 12, nicest one I have seen in person was a gift it came with a snow blade. You can't turn down a free Gravely . The troybuilt bronco...

Haven't decided yet :rolleyes: I need to run it some more to see how much I want to spend on it. . But that may be a temporary fix.

Same here on the bike shop I dropped off a set of wheels to true .they can't get New bikes ,but they killing it on repairs. You can hardly walk through his shop because of bikes in for repair. I was in a couple Cub Cadet dealerships a couple months ago now that you mention it I saw nothing...

I was cleaning up my lawnboy project mower. It looks like you need to take the motor off to change the belt. Am I missing something here

I am usually looking at local online classified For one in decent shape and for a decent price. I have not been looking lately because this covid stuff has cut the numbers of patients in the hospital so much they have cut our hours 20% so my fun money is tight right now. I have someone who...

I had a 1990 or 91 Craftsman GT 6000 same mower but the Kohler twin was a horizontal shaft. I sold it to my brother in law about a year after I moved here . My reasoning was 1. To big for this yard and my storage room. 2. I had just bought a new Grillo G85D walk behind tractor with a tiller...

I have thought about removing the self propelled mechanism. It will never see uses that need self propelled drive while I have it. I mow with a Gravely professional 12 Walk behind tractor and a 40 in. kidney deck. Or a troybuilt bronco rider or a Grillo G85D walk behind tractor with a Zanon 28...

I honestly wish it wasn't self propelled . But when are picking up out if the Garbage you can't be picky ? I ordered a brake cable today . I sometimes take stuff to use at the church so I want it somewhat original

It is broke and I believe there is a mount for the handle missing. I cut the plate for the mulching baffle off for my intented use I don't want it to mulch

First unless it is a 2 cycle why bother with a lawn boy. A 4 cycle lawnboy is just another mower . I have had as many as 18 running lawn boys at one time years ago. Until last week it has been a long time since I had one. Last week I rescued a Dura-force from the trash . I put a copy l on it...
