    WHAT BRAND OF OIL FOR THE HYDRO-GEARS IN AN "IS 700Z"

    Well, I tried to dress it up as best I could for an online forum. Because saying things like "Halfwit sixth grade dropouts with a drawer in their toolbox dedicated to various low-end narcotics" would have been a little impolite, and probably too spot on for most people's tastes. But hey, I never...

    Scams when buying a used mower: BEWARE!

    I hit a lot of them when looking for a used pickup some years ago. Many of these clowns are sitting in places like China, Romania, etc. I don't even get angry anymore. I look at it as an opportunity to create comedy by driving a criminal clear up the wall and back. Like when they ask for the...

    Need hotter spark plug.

    You could try one of these. I use one in a 10 year old Echo trimmer and stopped having to take a break after starting it. I don't use it much anymore so I can't tell ya how long it will last, but I do know swapping it in during a tune-up produced a marked improvement where it runs better than it...

    IS700Z - Iridium plugs FYI

    I have to say, I'm in awe that this is a 6 page thread. To recap, I noticed a problem, and replaced a single (well, 2) part that solved the problem. That problem has not returned, and with my my maintenance habits likely never will. What the hell are we talkin' about here? lol. I'm reading...

    IS700Z - Iridium plugs FYI

    Hmm, If you seriously think I'm going to take plugs out of my machine for a photo op it's gonna be a long wait, lol. Like next season. Because at this point I'm still not having any problems. All I've done since the plug swap is drain the cat-piss Briggs tries to pass off as oil and put in...

    IS700Z - Iridium plugs FYI

    Well let me ask you a question. What happens when you adjust the air/fuel mixture limiting the fuel going into the cylinder to accommodate a colder plug? I'll answer to save time. You decrease horsepower. You know how everyone says the 27hp Briggs engine really isn't 27? Well it sure isn't if...

    IS700Z - Iridium plugs FYI

    I didn't get that information from Scotty. I searched for a video on the subject because I was tired of responding. The Champion thing is fairly common knowledge, as is the difference between standard, platinum, and iridium plugs. I can't even believe I'm engaged in this nonsense to tell you the...

    FYI IS700Z oil filter cap wrench

    Here, this is what you're probably talking about... All they're saying here is they're not going to give you a new engine if your new Fram filter had a mouse living in it and it kills the engine due to stopping the flow of oil. The same goes for pretty much any manufacturer. Why would Briggs...

    FYI IS700Z oil filter cap wrench

    Can you show me where it says that in the warranty and/or Operator's manual?

    IS700Z - Iridium plugs FYI

    Ok, enough with this silliness. I watch this guy every so often because he's a bit of a character and I enjoy his videos. He has a great video that covers this topic fairly well, and it's done with pure facts. If you really want to understand why one would upgrade plugs instead of starving the...

    WHAT BRAND OF OIL FOR THE HYDRO-GEARS IN AN "IS 700Z"

    So I have yet to encounter a shop in my area that I would do business with. I guess it's the way I came up with respect to working on cars. I was taught by folks that one might call extremists from a very early age. I was putting cars on lifts at 8 years old, lol, which now that I think about it...

    WHAT BRAND OF OIL FOR THE HYDRO-GEARS IN AN "IS 700Z"

    I prefer Amsoil products whenever possible. So being that I need to pick up some oil for the trans, I sent an email off to Hydro-Gear asking about any support or warranty implications if I use this. https://www.amsoil.com/p/20w-50-synthetic-hydrostatic-transmission-fluid-ahf/ When I get a...

    IS700Z - Iridium plugs FYI

    Hmm, where should I start. I showed up here looking for information on how to globally disable safety switches on a Cub Cadet so I can verify that's the problem before wasting my time tracking down the specific issue. THAT was my first post. My post with respect to Champion plugs was a...
