This happened on a Craftsman T240 with the hydrostatic transmission used on many brands and now only has 198 hours on it. I am assuming other brands built by MTD have the same tractor frame. Over time transmission power drops to the point the tractor will not go up even a very small grade in...

This tractor was purchased used with only about 170 hours on the clock for a local swim club. The tractor transmission now at 198 hours begins to lose power, especially when in reverse. Eventually the transmission did not have enough power to back up into the storage building, and I needed to...

This was a lightly used scrapped tractor with 179 hours on the clock I bought for $25. The front had been hit breaking the hood. It’s been five years trying to level the blades on this deck. First yes, tire pressures are filled to spec and tractor is on level ground. The blades are not bent...

This is probably not new news to many here. I hit an object that broke a deck spindle on a Craftsman T-240 46” mower. After the removing the original broken OEM spindle, the guts basically fell out of it. It had a grease fitting built into the spindle but from the factory, no grease was...

I have been pretty successful keeping this 1998 Yard Machine in service. Model number is 13AM675G062 or just 675. It drives like a drunken sailor because the plastic bearings in the front wheels are worn out. I have the original parts manual from 1997 that shows the inner and outer bearing as...

This is on a 2006 Troybilt Pony, Briggs single cylinder engine. When mowing it intermittently developed a split-second hard misfire. It almost feels like it is a split second electrical short. Sometimes it is hard enough that the engine just about stalls, then picks up and runs. All I have...

Snapper LT125 Model: 2690872 Serial Number: 2014719099. The old belt shredded badly and was thrown away before ordering a new one. This unit has the electric PTO. When I go online it references two belt sizes. One for a shallow groove pully and one for a deep groove pully. How can I tell...

It has a Briggs 17.5HP I/C Type 0777E2 from 2005. New spart plug, valves adjusted, carburetor cleaned and rebuilt with a kit, new fuel filter, manual fuel shutoff valve added, new battery and the reverse mowing shutoff has been bypassed/unplugged. When mowing it runs fine, then a sharp sputter...

The deck has 7 positions. The lowest sets the deck on the concrete. Levels 1 thru 5 are basically too low to cut grass unless you are cutting greens or a fairway. Level 6 is boarder line too low for the average lawn. The highest level is ok. If there is excessively high grass there is no room...

Unit #1 Model 31A607 Type 0741-E1 Code 070326ZE I/C 15.5HP Unit #2 Model 287707 Type 1224-E1 Code 971009ZO I/C 14.5HP I do not believe either of these units have an ignition safety interlock issue since both solenoids always activate. Both units have had their batteries swapped...

1.Model 31A607 Type 0741 E1 Code 070326ZE 15.5hp 2.Model 287707 Type 1224 E1 Code 971009ZO 14.5hp Unit #1 is a salvage mower that I swapped this 15.5hp engine into. Battery is new. Worked well until no crank, just a solenoid click. Swapped in a used solenoid and it started OK for a couple...

Craftsman Tractor Model - 917.252510 - 42" Deck - 16HP Briggs Transmission Dana Transaxle Model - 4360.79 This thing is about 30 years old. The engine was blown when I received it (no oil), and previous owner has no history to help. It came with the house. Just completed an engine swap with...

Lt125(23420) - Too Fast!! This mower has the automated transmission with a forward and reverse pedal. No gear shift. I love it but in forward it easily goes too fast with just a light push on the pedal especially when trying to go slow mulching leaves. It is ok at first but the foot pressure...

Snapper Model number is 2690875, Serial number 2014719099 42" deck. I have found reference to two belt sizes, 91.10" and 94.45". My old belt is shredded so it is no help. The different belt sizes references one for a shallow groove pully and the other for a deep groove pully. How do I tell...

Tractor Model 2690872 Circa 2014 - I am looking for a mulch plate to fit onto my 42" deck to use for mulching leaves in the fall. I do not want to pay $160/$260 for a full mulch kit. Just looking to find only a plate to McGyver and make it fit the discharge on the deck. Any suggestions on one...

Running on one cylinder with both sides getting spark and fuel. When running the cylinder opposite fuel pump makes no change when pulling spark plug but engine dies when pulling plug wire on the fuel pump side. On the dead cylinder I removed the valve rocker cover and found both push rods bent...

I'm looking for a mulch plate for a 42" Snapper deck. I found a mulch kit that includes hardware etc. Has anyone used one of these on this site? Is it easy to remove the mulch plate, leave the hardware in place and side discharge?

Snapper LT125 with Briggs 23Hp Model 44L777 V-Twin. The cylinder on the brake side valve cover is much hotter to the touch than the other side. It runs fine but does exhibit some popping when the engine is shut off unless it is throttled to an idle first. Why would one valve cover be hotter...
