Being a "secure site" only matters if you're putting credit card info into the website. This is just looking at coupons and not needed to be secure. But either way the first url is a dead url so for this place it's a moot point. Or a moo point, depending on if you're Italian.

The only Bidencuck/Trumptard talk in this thread should be how their buddies are oiling us with used motor oil. Mods should smack you long-ranting guys in the face in person, spank your mother in front of you, and delete your posts.

I just dump it in a bare spot of the yard. Been doing it for 25 years and second year it always brings in a full grass bloom. First year it's a brown spot :ROFLMAO:

Thanks Lugbolt. It took 2 weeks but I finally got it in from Kubota. It was fresh made too and not routed at all. You could cut a steak with the corners on that thing! At any rate, it's back in and running like a dream. Thanks again!

Well I got it figured out boys. Bad ground spade on the solenoid. Corrosion didn't look bad at all but volt meter said I was getting 4.8v with the key on "start", which I should have caught earlier, but better late than never. The old gray matter ain't as fast as it used to be. New ground spade...

Hmph, never heard of sucha thing! I'll put a jumpbox on it tomorrow and see if that takes it up to working again. The wiring is pretty straightforward, 10 gauge from battery to solenoid, then from solenoid to starter. I'll report back tomorrow on the jump. It's separate. Battery positive to...

Have any of you ever turned the key and heard the familiar "click" of the solenoid but the starter doesn't engage? If I jump the solenoid it works and starts and runs no problem, but the key doesn't start the starter. My first thought was to replace the solenoid, but after a new solenoid it...

Thanks lugbolt. Do you have a source on the bearing holder too? As you said, it's trashed. I opened that puppy up and it was all metal shavings and 1/4" grooves. Looked like a chewed tootsie roll.

Thanks Mark. I have not found entire spindles, but I did find the bearings and the other parts I needed. Here's a list of part numbers for anyone else looking: The belt for the deck is K5559-36710 Front Tires are 11x4.00-5 R/W Rib 4 Ply Tire Deck anti-scalp wheels are K5371-42110 Bearing for the...

Thanks Mark! Does JD and Kubota use the same spindles?

I was greasing the shaft on my weedeater and this thing popped out of the handle somewhere. I can't find a diagram online anywhere. Does anyone know where it goes?

Edited: Got the deck off, easy peasy. The spindle bearings though, they don't seem to be available online. Does anyone have a source for them? This is the 42" model with the kawasaki.

Yeah, but mowing the back forty with a pusher will make an old man out of you pretty quick.

That would have been neat, but I've been using a push mower. 21" lawnboy. Talk about overworked, I could write a book titled "from here to eternity" after a day pushing that thing in the sun

Haha! I haven't done that since the first month I got it. I couldn't believe how thirsty this thing was and expected to get two mows out of a tank. Think again, Orson! That little plunger was sticky so my guess is that varnish was the problem. Sitting too long while i tried to figure out what...
