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

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 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...

I received my coil today. Once installed the mower fired right up . I am holding the safety cable with vice grips. I will mow some heavy grass with it to see how it does before I spend more money on it

Between insurance money and selling a couple of attachments from the stolen tractor I had a budget of $19k . Cub Cadet has some good discounts for non profits . Plus no taxes I ended up spending just a little over $14,000 They make smaller versions P.S. I don't get to mow because I have so...

Tried that no luck thanks for the tip though I have one ordered due Wednesday

We have slopes of 20 degrees or a little more in the front . It is rated to cut on 25 degree slopes . I mowed everything steep myself first . I mowed across our steepest areas . I wouldn't ask someone to do something I can't . It handles everything we have with ease . Ours is 35 H.P. and 72 in...
