I got lucky and saw a daffodil today. It's a bit early. Hope it's a sign of good things to come.

Sorry to hear about your health issues. Hope you get well soon.

Sorry to hear about this merger but that seems to be the way things are going (consolidation). My favorite source for small engine parts is mymowerparts.com (AKA K&T Saw shop). Sorry Bert, they don't ship beyond the lower 48 states. I also look for hard to find parts on eBay.

I found it ( I think) but the file is too large for this forum. I'll try to find a work-around. The original link (from 2011!) is dead.

I've been seeing daffodils for a couple of weeks but I finally took a photo. I hope spring brings some relief to all the bad stuff that's been happening.

It looks like an F-series engine on an alloy deck -- a great combination. It's definitely worth fixing. You could try draining the old gas and putting in some 2-cycle (mixed) gas - then try to start it.

What's an offroad mower? I guess some mowers are used on roads but I've never heard that term. I won't even ask about the mud. I know what you mean about getting beyond a problem like that.

There's lots of good advice for a prospective small engine shop owner in this thread. I've never had a shop like that; I'm just a hobbyist. But I suggest that, if there isn't enough business to support a viable small engine business, you could consider another line of business to supplement...

I saw the first daffodil of 2020 today and it's still January!

It's a little early this year but the last week or so has been unseasonably warm. Here's the first daffodil I've seen this year. I hope everyone is doing well.

I just bought a JC Penny Lawn-Boy. It starts and runs well but needs a clean up. It has a makeshift repair (using JB Weld) at the tank valve; but the seller said it's been holding for eight years. The compression seems OK but I may do a rebuild. It's an F-series engine so rebuild parts...

Well, it's getting ready to be spring again. It was 72F and I saw my first daffodil yesterday. I hope everybody's doing well.

The first daffodil came a bit earlier this year. I started seeing them on Sunday, February 12th but couldn't get a good photo. The attached photo was taken February 14th. The early signs of spring put me in a wonderful mood. :cool:

I saw this ad which made me curious enough to ask if anybody knows about these mowers, apparently made in the mid-1980s. CL ad: John Deere 12SB 2 cycle self propelled lawn mower This particular mower doesn't sound like something I'd buy (It's self-propelled with other extra stuff like a key...

I have a Makita hedge trimmer (model EH760). I'm pretty sure I need to replace the carb. I've rebuilt it and installed new fuel lines and a fuel filter. I've also eliminated ignition problems. On the body of the Walbro carb is stamped just "WYL" but that's a series of carbs, not just one...
