No You now have your own king not a British King

Do you know any one who is connected by the fibre ? While it is frowned on by ISPs there is nothing stopping you from either sharing their connection via a microwave bridge or getting second connection at one of the houses that have fibre and using a bridge. Unless you have 10 kids all watching...

IF that rectifier is mounted to the plastic blower housing check that the body has continuity to ground . Kohler like to use a brass strip to connect the rectifier mounting screw to the bolt that holds the blower housing on and thus ground. These fall off & also crack so there is no ground The...

Mulligans have always been my go to for transmission problems . Make sure you have all of the machine & transmission numbers at hand when you ring them They take a long time to answer the phone but have always been honest and one can not ask for more than that .

Yes you can replace just the rod And yes the crankcase has to be split to do it So that will mean new seals & gaskets as well Because of all of the Honda knock offs , Honda has dropped their parts prices Not as cheap as B & S used to be but not really expensive like Kohler

None that I know of. It is not a difficult job if the wheel comes off easily Remove wheel Take photo of brake showing where the springs hook in. Undo the nuts / bolts at either end of the caliper DO NOT TOUCH THE MIDDLE ONE ( yes I was yelling ) Pull the caliper off & detach the spring &...

Very few does will chemically affect glyco unless they are glycol based SO they are the common powder dies plumbers use to trace leaks, green, yellow, red or purple . Horticultural dyes should not effect any spray as they are chemically stable but UV unstable

Probably because no one actually knows . The low oil warning light on most engines where fitted comes on when the oil is at the bottom of the cross hatched "add oil" region on the dip stick .

Just bear in mind that the oil level is just short of the sump gasket on just about all mower engines so verify the dip stick I have found engines with both ones that were too long and ones that were too short .

80% shade cloth Or Weed mesh

Like all US businesses JD is controlled by the Wall St Nazis who demand massive dividends and veto expenditure on modern high volume automated production . The enemy is Wall St and has been ever since lunatic courts allowed shareholders to sue directors if the dividend was not high enough and...

I bought this repair run back in 2011 I still get people I have never ever done a job for trying to get me to do warranty work because "they only had it serviced a year or so ago "

When an engine is made it has a balance rpm range designed into it . So an engine designed to run at 2750 will be balanced at 2750 But when it gets to 3600 the tiny bit out of balance at 2750 can become so chronic that the mower moves sideways There is no such thing as an engine that is...

I will have a look back through my records and see if I kept proper notes I have also adjusted those idle screws and the welch plug was replaced from a cube carb rebuild kit from memory

It depends where you buy them from Never ever had anything fail that was bought from Alibaba ( not ali-express ) or Made in China . OTOH have had so many failures with stuff bought on Amazon or Ebay that I stopped buying stuff from there near a decade ago .

Honda is pulling out in Australia as well Dealers closing down every where . The problem is the idiots in California deciding that mowers have to meet the same emission standards as automobiles . No mower without fuel injection can meet these sorts of standards When a market becomes uneconomic...

If it has a Yanmar diesel then good chance it is in fact a rebadged Yanmar sub compact tractor with is a commercial unit They are very good machines We cant tell you any more without a JD model number . It has taken a very long time but eventually I have managed to get my hilly yard customers...

Two circuits that can cause the engine to shut down when the blades are engaged 1) seat switch + PTO switch 2) reverse switch + PTO switch To check the latter, engage the blades while driving forward slowly engine at full speed Engine does not cut out = Reverse switch Engine does cut out =...

Standard practice for me is to write the date / hours on the oil filter and also on the underside of the air filter with paint pens ( not sharpies ) So I know when they were replaced because while I do keep comprehensive records I do not keep customer cards either as paper or electronically . SO...

Do yourself a big favour and replace the dumb idea smart switch with a standard reliable key

Dust on the outside of the filter actually makes it work better Dust on the inside of the filter means the filter has a hole in it and needs replacing . A filter is clogged when the mower starts to blow black smoke like the choke has been left on for too long

Personally I find it very annoying when IPLs do not list the quantity and only show 1 in the diagram Mind you I had to look for "valve cap" in the descriptions to find the number then look for that number on the drawings . And it becomes a problem for things like valve stem oil seals Old mowers...

Check that it has thermostat & bypass A lot of cheap coolers do not so the oil never gets hot enough to drive out the moisture Oils are designed specifically to work within a quite narrow temperature range. Back in the 70's fitting aftermarket oil coolers to motorcycles was all the rage and a...

I got caught unawares the first one I drove with a ROP It was a Great Dane Chariot and I took it for a test drive out front, went under a street sign on 2 posts and flipped the mower up about 6' before the back grounded & I tore the sign off the posts .

They were withdrawn from sale in the USA because USA home owners are idiots and kept on rolling them over by doing tight turns on slopes or at speed . Because the wheels on the inside come closer together when doing tight turns . The same mower is still being made in Europe Apparently European...

The set switch is a ground switch but the lap bar switches are power switches If I read what you did correctly . You jumped the lap bar switches at their plugs then powered the green wire by jumping B to S on the key switch plug & engine cranked that shown the green wires are fine So you problem...

If you mower has the single drag link at the front you shorten it If it is shortened as far as it will go then you bend the bracket forward as over time they bend back The drag link really should be sprung so every time people slam into things with the deck ( we all do it ) it just compresses...

Freddie, Please go back to the beginning of the thread This is a Swisher ZTR, no lights and Star was good enough to post the wiring diagram for this mower. HE has already tried with the engine unplugged to prove it was a machine wiring fault

I am older school than that as I use either a Dranganfly head or a manual feed Tanaka head Neither give a seconds of problems

On a different tack I get a female tie rod end, machine out the threads cut the end off the old drag link & braise the new one on . If the rod is a standard diameter I cut the square bit where the ball used go off the end , thread the old drag link then fit a female tie rod end over the end . I...

They are metal powder pressings on most line trimmers These give a very long service life if the owners do 2 simple things 1) Never ever exceed the maximum line thickness 2) always cut at full speed I replace a lot of bevel boxes on Honda trimmers because idiots like to run 3mm line in place...

Walmart only keep common crap. Go to a real hardwear store, pay 10% more and feel good knowing the staff are treated well and some of the profits usually go to community groups Plus if you stop going there then they close down and you will have to buy everything from Scamazon. FWIW I use Dry...

Out of curiosity can the coil be put on the other way round ? The hall effect chip is polarity sensitive so the voltage generated in the coil generated has to be negative 0 then positive if it is + 0 - then you will get no spark The only other thing is a bad magnet in the flywheel . very rare...

That is an Intek engine and has a cap on both valves There should be a model number on the rocker cover so use that to check the B & S parts list I think they are all the same but not sure . The ones I have here are # 691843 hard to spot on the IPL unless you know what you are looking for And...

Does the new switch have the markings shown in the diagram Star posted in reply # 7 If so make 3 jumpers with a male at both ends Unplug the engine plug to avoid accidentially putting power onto the kill wire Now according to the same diagram this mower runs the power to trigger the starter...

No Did you check the blade rotation as suggested ? And the stupid mistake we have all made are the blades on right way round ? I can not see any way to make the shafts run backwards because the box is cast and flipping left /right would make no difference . I have not had one apart so do not...

Just as long as you don't call me queen :eek: IT was quite some time ago comes in around 10,000 posts I think Funny thing is I had just finished editing a composting video setting a lot of people strait about what will compost ( everything other than bone ) and then this popped up after we had...

The landlord runs a fleet of 2000 series Cubs because it is hilly & they all have horizontal shaft engines 5 of the 6 have a MIR lock out One does not 4 of the 6 are end of season exports to Australia to avoid tax ( we get a lot of stuff like that down here )

I see more engines damaged from carbon build up at the exhaust ports breaking away & scoring the bore than lack of lubrication

There are 2 things to consider with slopes 1) stability & side slip where ZTRs perform very poorly\ 2) oil circulation where vertical shaft engines perform very poorly because the oil sump is wide & shallow and running along a slope can & does end up with the oil pump out of the oil = seized top...

Because some mower companies have been sued by idiots who injured others or themselves by reversing over people, todlers, hoses, electrical wires , etc etc . All modern US mowers have reverse cut out and most ZTRs now days cut out when both lap bars are in reverse . The courts seem to think you...

Height 6 can be used for cutting . The only problem is there is sod all extra space under the mower for the deck to rise when cresting hills. At full height you should be cutting at around 4"- 5" If you want 6" then you really need a very different mower, like a sickle mower or a reel mower...

Get it up in the air high enough to watch the blades revolving Pull the pto shaft off and turn it by hand the blades should counter rotate to throw the grass towards the chute Unfortunately I only have experience with DU & DC decks but flipping the centre PTO should not make any difference to...

The only place on a mower that synthetic oils offer any worthwhile advantage is in the hydros So a 20w50 full synthetic would be worth the extra $ 30 I use penrite 10W60 because it is readily available & I get it at a discount . And yes you 10W50 will be fine, just give the tranny a few...

Is this a sudden problem or are you trying to restore an old engine ? Failure of both coils usually indicates a bad magnet in the flywheel or the flywheel just not spinning fast enough

Governors 101 the governor tries to slow down the engine The faster the engine goes the harder the governor tries to shut the throttle down. So simple test is to gat some one to start the engine while you hold the governor arm then feel for the governor trying to move against you finger IF you...

The reverse witch is generally wired in a sub loom with the seat switch so you can follow the wires down to the reverse switch .

oil filter will be an engine part not a mower part FWIW I use a B&E large or B & S small on everything that has a unified thread For metrics I need to keep 3 but the bull of engines all have unified threads The only real difference between any of them is the physical size Tecumseh filters...

A lot of emergency services down here paint the entire units to deter people from stealing them when left unattended running during emergencies

SEO's never work for local service businesses All they do is scan the meta data and add the most searched for words into your meta data . SO I am looking for a pest exterminator & your web site turns up . I am looking for a mowing service 300 miles away and your site turns up There are many...
