Lead acid batteries have different ideal charging voltage than the original battery type. Do some hunting for computer UPS batteries as I am sure u can get one that fits for less than $58. This one is close to what would fit. https://www.altex.com/12v-2.2ah-sealed-lead-acid-battery-w-f1-terminals

I fiddle my stuff and swap\modify parts here and there. As I mentioned before I have the McCul 510. While i got mine to work by rebuilding the carb(i think i got my kit from Randy...) I still have 1 quark with it that it won't idle(yes, i replaced all seals among other things). -SO- being a...

Other than replace the LM21(mine is '80s ish) back around 2016. The LM21 was like a Snapper(built like a tank) lite but still very good construction. I hope yours is still the same.

Maybe. I would check if there is play in the pinion shaft or the wheel itself. Some play and it can easily skip a tooth or not mesh properly thus making noises.

While people say carb cleaner\starting fluid will ruin motors, only if u run it for 10 min straight maybe. I use it all the time when i fiddle with stuff and have never ruined any. If I DO spray it numerous times, i just add some motor oil to the cyl itself JIC before going back and trying to...

While not the cheapest route but great for a bind(as was how i learned this) Home Depot sells carb kit that included 2 primers - one of which fits yours.

I got a McCul 510. the motor is similar to yours. First, loosen the gas cap and try it- your carb should only have 1 hose from the tank. Maybe the cap is plugged and not venting. Mine would run but i couldn't restart it. I found the plug was wet - running rich. I then experimented closing the...

Does Toro still use a belt in the blade stop? I ask if they change it because the honda is a PITA when it wears out vs buying a $8 v belt if the toros (that i've seen) saw ever wear out. I've seen hondas that broke\wore out though...

Anyone ever try one of these to knock loose a snapped exhaust bolt??? https://www.homedepot.com/p/TEKTON-3-8-in-Drive-Impact-Screwdriver-Set-7-Piece-2905/205674679 Cut a slot for the "screwdriver". Pounding it can knock the bolt loose???

Maybe they want to be like Mercedes - make it expensive to repair.(That explains why there are so many at junkyards for parts) So long as people whose item breaks say "May I please have another", the makers don't care if not laugh.

Sorry, naked chicks on Snap-on\Cornwell\MAC\etc. calendars, I'd rather talk about that...

You are looking in the wrong place. You need to watch which company makes the best commercial with the coolest looking engine in them. THAT will get you the super duper bestest oil...

I have a used pair if u r interested. 1 wheel is bald but the other one looks like 0 miles.

How attached to this edger are you? In my area you can find an edger like this for $20 left and right. Someone even had McLane edgers for $20 posted for over 1 month. I'm all for fixing old broken stuff but upgrading for the same if not less $$ is tempting.

"21 super recycler, 1 year or so old." It might be a little too late but isn't your mower covered for 2 years?

Personal advice - don't buy the mowers to fix and sell. Doing so, as u learned, parts kill any profit. The ones i get\fix\resell, I only pick up if complete and decent looking as a minimum. Although if the engine looks and pull feels good, then get it only to remove and test\cleanup\sell the...

I have yet to create that problem with them. The only carb I have ever had that happen was the Tecumseh VLV plastic carb and I didn't need to use these to clean out passages. As always, to each his own.

I use these: cleaner Sometimes, I need to file the passage to remove deposits.

On mine, the pressure relief(unloader) was stuck open. Find the spring. The nut applying pressure to the spring, loosen the nut. Hit the trigger a few times. Doing so on mine got the 'plunger' of the unloader to move knocking it loose and working properly. If still no go, remove the whole...

Is it working at all? weak but some pressure?? When u pull the trigger do u hear anything change?

I got mine off a used Sears mower. That's where i got the keystart, charging, etc cables and the electric start Quantum motor itself from. Ask around, maybe you can find a shop that will part mowers that owners don't want fixed.

They have been doing that since the late 80s. I mean Japanese brand VCRs started showing up from china since if not before the early 90s.

Nikon made their cameras there, hard drives were made there, it is the "Detroit of Asia"(for those of you who own a mercedes, look up where all body panels+ other mercedes parts are made...) All of these plus more are made in Thailand so I don't think they can be that bad.

Does anyone have a Husqvarna k760 saw or similar that is hosed that I could buy some parts off of?? specifically https://www.ereplacementparts.com/husqvarna-k760-power-cutter-parts-c-114486_118655_198127.html parts 8-10+ the bolt. Please PM me. Thx.

Depends- if yours is a Wisconsin engine, then it is awfully hard to find parts but take care of it and it should last many more years. If it is a Tecumseh you should find parts as needed.

So what is not correct? I use 40. I said nothing about how my oil compares to straight 40 or 10w30 weight oil 40weight oil is thicker than 30 when hot and my stuff rattle less because of it. Last time i checked I cut my grass longer than 1 minute so cold viscosity is a moot point. I change my...

Alot of stuff i own are 80's ish, a few 70's. I use at lease 10w40. It being thicker helps alot to minimize alot of the rattling.

Just stopped running with no spark. Tried swap sparkplug. Troubleshooting, I checked the points gap, and resistance open infinite and 0 when closed- being i disconnected the ground and from the ignition coil. I tried swapping the condenser(with a new one) - i want to test that R goes up but i...

What engine parts do u have?

Last time i checked, the needle has the rubber tip so there is no seat to replace.

I can say i had one that is similar to yours but was a Sears like this: Sears Rider Mine was from 70 if I am correct at reading the Tec serial number on mine. If yours has the original motor, that SN should give u a year of make.

From personal experience, my 3000gt is 23 yo now. back when it had 160K miles i had to take a cyl head off due to a coolant leak. When I did so, I was amazed to see that the cyl hatch marks on the cylinder wall were still there and consistent all throughout the cyl. of course usually these are...

I like them. I have them on my 80's sears mowers and only ever needed to change oil and add gas. Borrow a cyl compression test tool from car parts store and test it before u buy it. If it has the charging wire, test that it puts out 14/15ishVolts. Listen for any loud rattling noises and it not...

HH\Salvation Army has a cure for your problem. It is called a price tag. One of the side affects from this treatment tends to be Frustration- typically with the phrase 'you want this much for this piece of sI#I?'. As always, nothing is perfect as Salvation Army left a Ariens Snowblower out back...

You can test it to find out if it also is a breather. If this is where a 3/32" tube connects, I had a few of them - blowers and Ariens mower. All of mine they act as breather also. I think car parts store has a cap you could put on it but if it is like mine, you would need to leave it open for...

If you didn't get a socket already, Oreily's auto loans out large impact wrench sockets. I borrowed one to take off my truck's front wheel bearing.

In order to keep the mower level, you would need to bring the brackets off the mower you are getting the larger wheels from. This bracket will have the shaft higher to account for the taller wheels. You would need to make sure the holes to bolt them onto your deck and maybe need to carry over...

"You never see any commercial lawn crews running battery gear" You will soon in Cali. They are looking banning gas outdoor equip.

Maybe not *that* old. The Ariens logo style itself was used after '63. See logo history - https://www.ariens.com/en-us/company/blog/240/behind-the-scenes-a-look-at-the-new-ariens-logo

R u saying they started riviting model\SN plates since 98?

Maybe for the newer models Scrub. On my 12I/C which is likely from the ballpart as posted, the info is stamped into the cover just above the spark plug.

Yes, Keep mowing my friend...

I just remembered - the choke being the brass piece is in a slot in the plastic shaft. with the choke open, wiggle the choke plate a little and try choking again to see if it seats better or with the choke closed use a pick or small screwdriver and wiggle the plate to see if u can get it to...

You can get them at HarborFreight or else look up Oxygen-Acetylene Torch Tip Cleaner Kit with 12 Stainless Steel Reamers at Home Depot.

Sorry but for a second i pictured you in my head looking like the Dos Equis Guy.

It was cold when i picked it up and it was left out next to the full trash cans Fri. From personal experience maybe the owner just had a bad day when it wouldn't start and he gave up or maybe the person never turned the gas on and "told dad"(the valve was shut off). For myself almost all the...

Can you post a pic? Sounds like a pulley moved from your description. If the pulleys don't line up, then yeah, you get this. If so, just pull out the allen wrench and loosen 1 pulley and move it back.

Really? for me it is more like Whack-a-mole. HA!!

Not sure why it was at the curb being i just opened the gas valve, choked it, and it started. Not a spec of rust on the chrome. Obviously very well kept. Honda mower

I have a engine pulley off my Case Skidsteer that cracked like yours. I just had the crack welded. If the flywheel is aluminum, that's nothing. If it is the magnesium then it might be difficult to find a welding shop - it was for me and my BG75 mount breaking off.
