which is better, draining tank and carb or adding stabil/seafoam and letting sit all winter, or are either fine? Also, is there an advantage of using battery tender or just removing battery and storing inside house? Thanks

Is the only advantage of a using a battery tender over winter to keep batteries charged? In other words, would it be the same to not use one, remove battery and just charge a dead battery once with a battery charger in the spring or is the latter bad on batteries to let them run down in the...

I bought a new mower (new to me) with a Kaw fx691v engine. It has two fuel lines coming from gas tank (first pic) , one goes to fuel filter then on to carb (I think see second pic, as I am not very mechanically inclines) and one goes directly to carb, I think this is the carb(third pic)? My...

I replaced both bearings and added grease to new bearing not sure if it is possible to over grease, but I don't feel like I did. There is no play side to side, this is how pulley is spinning now. Does this look ok in video below, blade is still attached. If not, not sure what to do except...

I am ready to upgrade from my 42" lawn tractor to something faster/bigger. I don't use it with any attachments. I know 99% of homeowners have zero turns and I have used one before, never used a walk behind with or without a stand on velke but I like that they are cheaper and easier to maintain...

I am trying to replace bearings rather than entire spindle. I got shaft out of spindle but bearing does not want to come off of shaft, before I tried putting bearing into vice to hold and tapping top of bolt, I wanted to make sure this isn't supposed to be one piece that doesn't separate? Thanks.

Battery has 12 volts, engine will turn over but barely. see video, Does this sound like starter? Thanks https://www.facebook.com/100009751811141/videos/a.709302999404754/709303009404753/?type=3

My yard perimeter has an electric fence that I keep sprayed bare with round up. To keep grass from growing under fence, I cut the first 3 passes blowing discharge in then change directions and discharge out. Mower tends to bog down on third pass going back over clippings... . Am I correct in...

I removed the plastic limiter awhile back, and am trying to adjust high speed screw, I have turned it cw, ccw and can't seem to tell much difference, can someone please give me the approx. setting? (XX's turns CCW from seat) thanks

The replacement coil comes in two parts, see picture below (plastic plug w/ wires and grounding (trigger coil), and field winding coil) I would like to use my old triiger coil and just order the field wire coil.

I have an old John Deere 111 w/ a B&S engine model 253707. I can't find info online to set top no load rpms, I did find the idle rpm @ 1750. Thanks

I am changing bearings. I have sprayed generously w/ pb blaster and beat the heck out of the spindle with a hammer and block of wood, and it hasn't budget (both spindles) Am I missing something??? My next idea is to take to a shop with a press...

I am replacing spindle bearings and wondering if I need to also replace the bushings on the pulleys shown in video (or is this "play" normal): Thanks https://www.flickr.com/photos/114512000@N03/14499439407/

I inherited an old John Deere 111 I have been working on. Whenever I engage blades it sounds really rough. I don't see a way to adjust the belts, nor any fittings to grease. I looked up the belt #'s and they appear to be correct. Belts can't get too loose with age can they, I thought they would...

I was cutting, it got bogged down so I stopped and switched off blades, it continued to run rough for a few seconds then cut off. I tried to start it and it turned over a few times but did not crank then just the noise in video: https://flic.kr/p/nKnLgs I have been told the noise sounds like I...
