Just voicing a negative opinion: I have a very low hrs B&S, Intek 15.5 hp, Model 31E677, fitted with a Nikki carburettor. Engine had not been used for a while, so carby needed a clean out of old fuel "varnish". Imagine my astonishment, when opening the float chamber, what should be a straight...

Hi, Old Toro Wheel horse, 14 hp, Model No 71283, Serial No 240000104? Does anyone know the make & model of the gearbox (GB), recommended oil & quantity. The mower is going well, however there is a very slow leak from the GB & today there seemed to be an unusual noise from that direction. I...

I rescued a 17 hp Toro Wheel Horse. Got everything to work very well but has an annoying (doesn't effect mowing performance, deck adjusted to compensate) twisted look when viewed from the front. So far haven't found where the twist actually is - assume chassis. Thoughts & suggestions on a fix...

Hi, My terrific old Toro Wheel Horse 212-H, Model 3212 OE 03 (Fitted with Eaton 751 transaxle) has recently developed a worrying problem - its transport (top) speed has suddenly reduced to about the speed that I would cut the lawn at - no faster. Forward & reverse still work, with no...
