Great, thank you. Just like tires, cold air less oxygen, less spark and less or no dust for an air filter in cold.

Arien Model 938016 Serial 006441 Snowblower. Think 3392E name on cover. Where is spark arrestor or maybe does not have one. Can't find on any schematics. Kind of rebuilt it for a friend. New paddles, new belt, new plug, new scraper, and tightened and lubricated all nuts and bolts. Very poorly...

Toro / Briggs and Straton - 20 plus years and still going. Speaking as a consumer not commercial. The key is maintenance. So many other mowers out there are also good but if not maintained properly you should not rate as a bad choice. Does smoke a little on high grass but other than that is...

Just blowing some white smoke when cutting some high grass otherwise none. May be the head gasket since in the process of removing the top to fix some things, like recoil, may have loosened the head bolts. Did tighten but no torque. Well maintained. Replace head gasket?

Ii do that with oil, trans fluid etc. Makes sure you have the right amount and also helps you see how much was lost if you wrote down what was put in.

So much misinformation out there you are 100% correct.

Thanks rivets for the feedback. It's kinda of like lube the chasssis of the car and pushing to much to blow the rubber seal. Mostly on trucks and why I do it myself.

There is a time for aftermarket and a time for oem. Both have strengths. As Rivets said too many variables go with oem.

FYI, mowed several times. - After installing/rebuilding (replaced damaged and worn parts) on front and rear axles the new height adjustors stay put and there appears to be a definite difference in the speed of the direct drive. Wow! Friction reduction and less stress on direct drive system...

I understand that and you are correct but the Your point is well taken "The real solution in my opinion is to use the correct grease but service the parts annually to keep them clean" Thank you. On my agenda too now. Maintenance can be costly besides finding a reliable person, and I try not to...

I understand that and you are correct. I thought about this alot because of that. The grease fitting nipple requires NLG2 white grease so must do that and it also states to grease all transmission parts. However, I clean my mower with water after every run. My mower is weird also it states...

First time on and sharing an install of front and rear Height Adjuster arms. Toro Model 20043, SR-21S, 6.5 HP, direct drive (20 years old?). For the longest time my height adjustors were falling out of place and finally realized the rivet holding it in place on all fours was starting to fall...
