    I need to Macgyver my dehumidifier

    Existing hose is likely clogged. Mine clogs 1 a year or so. Dust buildup as water drains. Check it out.

    Strange symtoms on 17hp

    FWIW, I'll give you an example that goes to what Slomo suggested. I had a customer with a Craftsman tractor with the gas tank just under the front shroud. The space between the fuel cap and the dashboard was relatively tight and as a result collected grass clippings and more importantly dead...

    2019 Troy Built mower - 09P602 engine model - Plastic Carb - Will not Start

    I think it's interesting they redesigned the idle jet positioning. Anybody know if they increased the main jet size on the new design? What I see the most is the main jet gets partially or fully clogged and it happens often. I used to use a micro-drill to clean the existing jet size but due to...

    d105 won't move

    Lego.. The transmission is made by General Transmission and it's a model RT400. A service manual as well as troubleshooting info is available on their site. There are several YT vids out there too. There's good news. If the tranny is moving in forward or reverse at all, it is not an internal...

    The D105 uses the plastic CVT tranny.

    Con rod explosion :O

    Pay particular attention to the rod journal on the crankshaft. Look for aluminum deposition(buildup) on it from the excessive heat during the first failure. That can be removed pretty easily with muriatic acid. You can Google that for more details. I can tell you from experience that if you...

    Stihl Hedge trimmer ignition

    This probably goes without saying but because I have my share of 'old-man' moments, did you have the 'master control lever' pushed down off the STOP position(which is the ignition kill position) while performing your test(s)? FWIW.... Good Luck!

    D105 won't move

    Star, I tried the link to the RT400 manual and it doesn't come up. What I was able to do was right click on the link and then select 'Copy link address' and paste it into a new Google Chrome tab and hit return. Then it came up. FWIW.... Thanks!

    D110 bagger options

    Are you ruling out just purchasing the one meant for the D110? Even if it's an older D110, it seems like investing $350 for the bagger and $0 for the tractor, you are still waaaaaay ahead of the game. I understand if the Lt155/Lt160 is free or a low price but given the Lt155 was made from...

    D100 (maintenance and repairs)

    Bio, please PM me your email address and I can give you an electronic copy of the JD Technical Manual for your D100. This TM covers your tractor and not my D105 so I don't need it. It's almost 50Mb so will have to go through GoogleDrive. If you are interested...

    D100 (maintenance and repairs)

    Ok, this will be my last post to this thread. I've laid out the specifics and I'm sorry Star but you are wrong also. Making it so you have to drop the deck to grease is well, foolish and mostly a waste of time if all you want to do is hit them with a shot of grease. For God's sake, JD put...

    D100 (maintenance and repairs)

    MParr, you are wrong in this instance for the spindle closest to the chute. Look at the pic on p 29 I referenced. That right hand cover completely blocks access to the rear. Where you see the "C" coming in from the right is exactly where the fitting needs to be pointed. There are openings...

    D100 (maintenance and repairs)

    I need to correct one of my previous comments. Something seemed fishy to me staring at the pic so I double checked the exact position on my D105. What better to do at 2:30 am LOL! The spindle farthest from the chute needs rotated 90 deg clockwise as viewed from the top. Both then are easily...

    D100 (maintenance and repairs)

    I've attached the relevant pages here(from the Operator's Manual). Take note in the picture at the top left of page 29 where they point to the grease fittings on the spindles (items labeled 'C'). The one on the spindle closest to the chute should point sideways toward the chute and is accessed...

    D100 (maintenance and repairs)

    Put this in the FWIW category! I have 2 versions of the JD Technical Manual for the D100-D170 machines. [The difference is age. The older one does not have my D105 in it because it wasn't out yet. The newer one does] I reviewed the sections in each regarding spindle R&R and there is no...
