Most use 1/4×20×3/4 bolts with matching nuts. If your terminals need replacement, do so. https://www.mfgsupply.com/mower/mowerbatteriesetc/mowerbatteriescables.html

I think that you are right. Also, the deck mat be bent where the spindles mounts.

Bad Boy Maverick or Bad Boy Maverick HD. For that acreage, a 52" or 54" deck would be best.

I run them at the lowest recommended air pressure. I often wonder if the rough terrain was the reason the plastic end of the choke shaft broke?

A lawn with lots of bumps and uneven terrain can cause problems with electrical connections and various plastic components of a mower. I'm convinced that this is what caused an electrical connection to fail on my Gravely Pro Turn 260. The bullet type connector broke and caused my engine to shut...

My Gravely (Kohler ZT740-3046) has nearly 400 hours on it and I have had the engine shroud off twice. It's really clean around the cooling fins. My secret is to blow off the entire machine, with a leaf blower, after mowing. If you have compressed air, that's even better.

Get you a piece of dowel rod and stick the tank. Old school.

Already repaired. If the repair fails, I will do something different. It is a booger getting the rear bumper assembly off and back on again. Besides, the connections are underneath the engine shroud and don't get exposed to moisture.

Work them! They will get better.

I hope so. I should have taken a picture. I was just before pulling the solenoid when I discovered the broken connector. That's why the engine wanted to fire but never did. This is the type of connector that was broken.

I was mowing today on my Gravely Pro Turn 260. I thought that it was out of gas. I added gas to the other tank and tried to start it. It would try to start but never did. I had to tow it to my shop. I pulled the fuel line after the pump and it was pumping fuel. I already knew that I woul have to...

Yep! If the problem repeats, he will have to remove the tank and clean it out thoroughly. The mower probably still has the original fuel lines.

Will it run on carb cleaner or starting fluid? Remove the fuel line between the fuel pump and carburetor and see if fuel is exiting the fuel pump. Take a look at the pulse line. This line runs from the bottom of the fuel pump to the engine. It should be connected and in good shape. There's an...

You might have water in the fuel.

Too much oil. The GVC190 capacity is a little over 16 Oz (pint).

The blade bolts on my Pro Turn 260 come off fairly easy. It came with the concave (Belleville) type washers. My 1/2" Dewalt 20vMax impact rips them right off. I did apply a very small amount of anti-sieze after the initial blade change. I haven't put any more on them. There's really no need, I...

5/8" grade 8 fine thread will take anywhere from 180 ft.lb. to 240 ft.lb. depending on whether it's lubricated, zinc plated or dry. They will take 110 ft.lb. easily. I certainly wouldn't use a grade 5 bolt for blades. Gravely uses grade 8 bolts.

NO! They are excellent filters. Just make sure that you install it with the arrow pointing towards the carburetor.

This happens sometimes when a 1/4" fuel line is forced over a 5/16" nipple. This is the fuel filter that I recommend. https://www.partstree.com/parts/kohler-24-050-10-s/

Check the Kubota engine manual that came with your mower. It's a diesel so, it's going to require a diesel engine oil. A 5W30 automotive oil ain't going to cut it. Diesel engines see quite a bit of soot in the oil. An oil blended for diesel engines is going to be required.

That doesn't look right at all. You will need your model number and serial number. You can find the owners manual here. https://www.scag.com/resources/

It's definitely an improvement over the original setup.

I don't know if the color is off with the picture or not. That looks like blue smoke. If that's blue smoke, you have an oil burner. Seeing that's a FR engine and the amount of dust on it and inside the filter box, you might have a big problem.

Spray some WD-40 around the base of your carburetor and intake. You will be doing this with the engine running. Do you notice any change? A malfunctioning governor is another possibility.

You must be looking at the Z Master 2000.

I owned two Toro mowers with the 708 cc Loncin engine. Both of them performed well. However, neither mowers could handle my property. I had to move up to a commercial machine.

Is this a new or used mower?

Don't you have Marinas in the area? If so, they likely have 0 Ethanol fuel.

Returned with no oil? It may be trashed. Check it over good before spending another dime on it. The mower's age and hours will come into play. Those Ariens walk behinds were good mowers. If the rest of the mower is in good shape, it might be worth putting a new engine on it. After all, you are...

It's basically a budget Rehlko/Kohler Command Pro engine. It doesn't have the hydraulic lifters. The air filtration is different. It doesn't have the Donaldson style air filter. It has a cyclonic type air box with a cylinder shaped filter with wire mesh surrounding it. It has a green foam...

The Form-A-Funnel idea is the most practical. You can also make one using heavy duty aluminum foil.

"There are two things to consider when it comes to oil, first is if it doesn't have an oil filter or pump, then you need to run a non-detergent oil. Most automotive oils are multi-weight. (5W-20, 10W-30, etc) most non-detergent oils are straight weight oils. (20W, 30W and so on)" That's bunk...

One thing that you can be sure of is that no electric chainsaw is going to do the job of a 2 stroke unit.

Make sure that you stay within the original specifications of the chain that came with your saw. Your saws owners manual should have that information.

I forgot to mention a couple of things. It's not uncommon for chainsaw bars to become twisted. This happens for several reasons. Improper operation. The bar getting pinched where the chain rides. Cheap Ryobi saws aren't something that I would buy. Good homeowner saws from Echo, Stihl, and...

Is the bar and chain getting any oil?

I'm not surprised by manufacturers using parts from other companies. However, I am correct in my original statement. Hustler/Excel Industies is now part of Stanley/Black + Decker.

The engine mounting plates on Husqvarna riders can wear. I would check the mounting plate for wear before you get too involved.

My name is Mel. I'm a long time Echo owner. Yesterday, I purchased my first Stihl weed trimmer, a FS-56CE.

Yesterday, I had to replace my 10 year old Echo SRM 225. It was tired. It would not stay running. I did everything possible to keep it in service. The compression was just too low to justify putting any more money in it. So, I went to my local Stihl dealer and bought a new FS-56CE. I truly hope...

The Stihl FS56 and FS70 no longer have a place to add grease. There are options. You can remove the trimmer head and put grease in where the drive cable attaches. If you are bold enough, you can drill and tap for an alemite fitting. Or, you can wait until the head is shot and buy a new head.

@rhkraft Not all riders are made by MTD. John Deere are made by John Deere in Tennessee. Husqvarna makes Husqvarna and Poulan. Craftsman once had riders made by both Husqvarna (AYP) and MTD. They are now all MTD made and found at Lowe's.

I recommend that you go with the Rotary #15095 blades. These are notched high lift blades that are usually for Scag mowers. The will fit your Gravely. However, they are flat blades. That being said, I recommend that you get a set of blade spacers. The spacers need to be 1" OD x 5/8" ID x 1/4"...

Every operator manual that I've seen clearly states no to run a gasoline with higher than 10% ethanol.

I have a mix of warm season grasses. I cut mine at 2 1/2" early in the season and will end at 3".

The best thing that you can do is to keep the underside of your deck clean. Wet grass buildup will rot the deck from the underside. Just about anything that is applied to the underside of your deck will wear off fairly quickly. I've tried several products with the same results. Buy you a good...

Could be. The walk behinds do have four sling blades. Their zero turns appear to be what we Americans consider as residential mowers. Their top offering has a 54" deck and Hydr-Gear ZT-2800.

The bolts can be removed with a battery tech screw gun. However, it's best to install the bolt with a ratchet and socket. The mowers you are describing are small walk behind mowers and the bolts don't require much torque.
