You're local tire shop can help you with that. Most wouldn't charge more than $10 each to install a tube. (+ the price of the tube)

Remove the belt to make sure that's not the issue. Remove the tranny and turn the axles by hand. This will eliminate any binding that may be coming from it being mounted. And you can check the travel on the levers coming out of the tranny. Maybe one has built up too much dust and dirt, and it's...

They're all about the same.

# 8. 3 speed tranny. $122. I've dabbled into taking these push mower tranny's apart and trying to fix them. Everything seems simple enough on the inside. But I don't think I've ever actually fixed one. Never tried a honda one though.

Sorry, I've forgotten all about this. I don't even remember working on it now. And I'm not sure what you mean by designation. IIRC,

If it started to bend, then it's probably already bent too much.

You can say that again. 😁

I didn't even check the ID fit. Thinking back, the spindle shaft slid right on in, without much resistance at all. But thinking further, I mowed about 1 acre after putting everything back together and it mowed fine. I'm glad you mentioned that. I'll be checking closer next time I get...

All of those are fine. I checked those first. (always)

I doubt it's got a set screw. The only way I know for sure, is to use a torch and heat it up. Put the bolt back in the bottom and use an air hammer. A video I watched a few years ago, shows the guy heating one up with a torch, then cooling it off real quick with water from a garden hose. Heat...

So after installing the new PGN bearings, I noticed something. Once they're in place, the center race is a tad tighter than before installing them. So I'm guessing that Gravely has Peer make their outer race OD just a .00? smaller than the common size that's available. Everyone spindle...

Some synthetics will seap right through some gaskets. In the 80's I worked a quik lube place where I sold Mobil 1 oil changes. We had so many customers came back with oil leaks. Old ones, new ones. It didn't matter. They told us that it was because Mobil 1's level of detergents that were put...

Is oil unstable? What's the actual purpose for a stabilizer?

Gasket material flaw maybe?

I'm wondering if the screws are the same and only the adjustment restrictors have changed? If so, that would be easy enough to change them out and not have to worry with buying a lot of new tool. Wait, what am I saying? I love buying new tools. 😁😁😁😁

Model number of engine is needed. Off the top of my head, is the throttle on the carb opening when you work the throttle lever?

That's why I replaced these spindle assembly's back in 2019. Threads were stretched from over tightening the blades. Making it impossible to get the inner nut out. But being only a few years old, and the customer keeps it under his carport. I may end up just replacing the assembly's if the new...

This makes me think the spacer isn't square with the center of the bearing. Even with the shaft inserted. Holy heck. Once the deck is up on the lift, this is normally a 20 minute job. The hardest thing I've ever ran across is getting the old ones out.

I've got one and will be using it on the new bearings.

Red & tacky is all I use. Note: All the bearing in this deck are brand new. I just installed them yesterday. I'm thinking I'll loosen them all up and reset them with a smaller impact. I'm using the new 1/2" one. Since Gravely won't provide any torque specs on this bearings. In fact they...

One thing I just thought about was the first nut that screws about 1" inside the spindle housing. That turns also. And may be be rubbing the inside edge of the spindle housing. I'll try the ears tomorrow. I don't have a stethoscope. But I do have enough extensions to work. Turning the blades...

Oh yeah, those are good. But I don't have any belts connected atm. It's off the mower. I'm just free spinning them.

FYI, just to make sure, I'm almost positive I got this right. But maybe not. The dust cover goes on top of the bearing, then the small spacer, then the pulley (that welded to the spindle shaft). Or should the spacer be touching the bearing?

I'm gonna try some PGN sealed bearings. It says they're rated for 20,000 RPM. I've used PGN in my landlords gravely. The one I use to mower her 5acres with. PGN website. Model: 6203-2RS Clearance: C3 Material: 100% Chrome Steel Greased / Lubricated: Yes Bore (Inner) Diameter: 17 mm Outer...

I checked them with my my calipers. The only thing that could be wrong with the measurements is the 3rd digit right of the decimal It only will read 2 digits. .00 instead of .000. But the first two on the height, ID and OD match. Something I did notice was after removing that one spindle...

ZT42. 915178 The deck bearings where howling so after replacing them with new, after tightening them up, they still howl. Especially one, that has resistance when I turn the blade. Remove the spindle, and rotate the bearings with your finger, and they're quiet as a mouse. Nice and smooth...

This was posted July 5th. Wished they'd reply and tell us how he fixed it... Or if he just took it to a shop.

015-2750-00 Bad Boy Muffler for 27hp Kophler SV840-3012 They're wanting over $300 for this. It must have gold plating on the inside. Part muffler, part catalytic converter? lol

I fold. lol

I used to pick up running push mowers from Walmart for like $10 to $20. People would buy, use once or twice then take it back.

Zinc or zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP) in motor oil creates a protective coating on metal surfaces in the engine so it can stand up to the stress put on the camshaft and other components. Your average oil produced today provides enough protection for most cars used in normal operating...

Here's the link you posted. https://www.erbay.com/itm/163674198748 That's erbay. I've never heard of that. I clicked on it, and even the crappy security I have on my computer didn't like it. Ok, scratch all that. I used that same link, without the r, and it went to the o-rings. It's all...

I posted this on the wrong thread. So here it is on the right thread. Just incase things don't work out with the rebuild, I got a new carb from Briggs. I probably should've went with the Stens and just swapped out the jets, if need be. It was about $80 cheaper. But the owner of this is a multi...

Oh man, I posted that on the wrong thread.

I knew something was up when I removed the bowl and the jets went laying in the bottom of it. They're supposed to snap in. Give a little click when inserted properly. The guy who showed me this first, said to install them before putting the tube onto the carb, as to not smash the rubber gasket...

Right. I get all that. Located under the flywheels. But that's only to relieve the pressure in the crankcase. Pressure in the head gets pushed down into the crankcase when the headgasket between the valves and the push rod valley, upon explosion in the combustion chamber. This is more than the...

Wrong thread

The old o-rings disintegrated. The nut driver is a good idea. I have used an extra 2 cycle carb adjusting tool, lubed with BTW, "erbay?" You mean ebay, right?

I'll go a nickel. :p

I use Brave. There's no commercials on Youtube.

I doubt lowes is gonna miss the $20. On a brand spankin new lowes, the cost of the entire building is paid for the 1st two weeks after opening. The merch it took to fully stock it, is paid within the next month.

Thank you for that. I'm going to save that Sawsilla website. Looks like they've got good prices.

You said Hello to a good buy.

Rebuild parts ordered. Now just waiting to see what I either forgot to order, or what wrong part I did order. lol I did get lucky and find a few things I'd bought before, that got lost in the move. I do have one question, that I think pertains to the main jets. Do they have anything to do...

So I took the fuel line loose from the pump (tank side, and drained about 6oz. This was after it had been sitting all night. And it was clear as a bell. So I put that line back on and pulled the fuel line off the carb , and pumped out about 1/2 quart, and it was milky, had tiny fragments in...

That is IF it's blown around the edge, leading to the outside of the engine, right? Because the pressure inside the sump won't increase a whole lot, if it's an internal gasket leak. Will it? Briggs don't normally fail from edges leading to the outside. I've only seen them leak between the...

Also, there is no oil around the fuel pump vent. I mowed for about another 20 minutes, and during this time, I choked it a little at a time until the choke lever was in full position. This time, it did clear up the surging. Not sure why it didn't clear up the other two times I did it (even...

I'm talking about what Bert said about how one with a blown head gasket will make a dipstick jump several inches, if not all the way out the tube. This one is bobbing only a couple of inches. Same as the other one, that doesn't have a bad headgasket. Plus something else I did, mowed for about...
