Yep....thanks.

Yep the carb solenoid is suspect since, after disconnecting it, the started solenoid is now clicking.....without blowing fuses...on a strong battery.

Working on a MTD 42" Model 13W2775S031: When I connect battery the fuse(20amp) blows. I checked the solenoid by connecting the two small terminals and it seems like its connecting across the positive and negative battery terminals. I not a real strong electrical troubleshooter so I would...

I'm thinking no one has a good thing to say about 28-30" cut riders😂😂😂

Would appreciate opinions on brands in the 28-30" cut class. I'm looking for a used rebuildable core. Are the Snappers in that size good machines? Murray/Sears? Thanks ahead of time!

Thanks!

Sticking my nose in here....is there a cover plate, for a (or the) cam shaft, with an o-ring fir a seal on this engine?

Are specific vee models suspect of excessive cam lobe wear?

Will a 42" deck from a D105 fit a D111?

Found it.....thanks!

Thank you!

Hey, thanks a bunch!

Sorry to ask such a potentially broad ranging question but here goes: When comparing horsepower ranges from 14-17.5 in many riding mower brands are these different engine ratings from a common block size? My reason for asking is I do second life rebuilds on 38-42" mowers. I have a good 17.5...

Ok thanks...I've looked in all the obvious places, under the seat, on the rear panel on the frame with no luck. I'm going to hang it from my hoist and give the frame a look. Thanks again!

Was given a rough JD 105, S/N? 1GXD05EAEEE523372 Deere site does not recognize the s/n. It is above the engine info: Model 31R9 77 001 G1, s/n 13 0524 ZA 628 10 Would appreciate someone with more JD experience helping me finding a digital parts and operators manual. Thanks in advance!

Hey many thanks for your efforts....I decided to make a bushing...it will last a lot longer than the ones in the starter now.

Good plan, thanks for this...me old brain forgets about the industrial suppliers. Appreciate it!

Engine is a PS-26516 with a 12 098 22-S Starter In the Kohler parts site I see one can not order just the armature bushings. Anyone happen to know where to source these? They are "oillite" type bushings so I really don't want to make the out of just brass stock. Appreciate the assistance in...

Working on a John Deere LT150, Model 150B501718, the forward transmission control pedal has about one-half the travel length as does the reverse pedal. I have taken the transmission apart, clean the sumps, magnets, and filter screen and refill it with 10w-50 synthetic oil to recommended...

Thank you for your help...my friend was able to find the fuse and solved his issue. He and I appreciate your assistance!

Thank you very much! Hopefully he can trace out the wiring and find this fuse. What seems to be simple by some can be beyond the paygrade of others:). Thanks again!!

Mower a 2014 LTX1050, 13WQ93AP009 Owner says after one of the headlights fell out and the wiring shorted out, burnt on the exhaust it will not crank..".it won't even click click". He and his mower is in another city too far to get to easily. He's relatively mechanical savy. What are some...

You are right...the knowledge base in this forum are awesome!!

And so it is indeed!

Right, I got that....saves me measuring time.

Wow, thanks a bunch!!

Thanks! I'm a shade tree who fixes up mowers that are "donated" to give to people with a need but little or no money.

Thanks!

Working on an old John Deere with a PS-41618 Kohler engine. I would appreciate anyone responding with valve clearance gap specs. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your advice! I'm a shop of low to no volume?. I'll "trace n verify". Thanks again for responding!

Hey thanks for the info!

Working on a LT150(150B501718). Would appreciate a wiring diagram or guidance to find one. Thanks in advance!

Gee, thanks for the crank info! The Honda pressure pump engine is rated at 3400 RPM...should be a good match for power.

I have a B&S model 125K02-0477-E1, s/n 04122858. I thinking about replacing it with a Honda engine from a power washer. What is the rated RPM of the B&S engine? I can locate that data within the B&S website.

Ok, thanks! I really appreciate your help!!

Re sealant, point well taken...where do I look for fuel in the carb so I know I have the air leak stopped?

I think I understand. Does applying gasket sealer help?

I'm working on a Sears Model 917.376551 walk behind. Its been sitting up for a long time...carb full of corrasion so I gambled on a knock off Chinese carb.(I know what's coming and deserve it) I have never worked on this type carb...with a primer bulb. where is the fuel injected...

Thanks!!

Thanks!

Thanks.....sort of looks like it from a brief time I looked at the 105. Does the 105 have a transmission /or drive pulley issue that was addressed in a JD recall? I appreciate your reply and help.

I have 0 John Deere experience so I like some input: I have two of the subject models. The 150 needs a hood and has a 38" "Edge" deck. The 106 has a 42" deck. Questions: 1. Will the 105 hood fit the 150? 2. Will the 105's 42" deck fit the 150? 3. I read where the 105 has a troublesome...

Wanted to let folks see an old Dixon zero turn mower I just finished restoring. It's a "mechanical and needs to be loved occasionally" tool from 1992. If anyone needs some parts for a similar model 304 let me know. Fun project!!

Thanks to all for your replies... haven't started the engine yet. I just rebuilt it and have begun the mower restoration. I was thinking about installing a low amperage cooling fan to keep the cones and drums from getting hot. On later model Dixon's there was a fan on the top of the cone...

Working on a B&S Model 254707-0120-01. Is there a way to determine the DC output of the B&S alternator, part number 592828/ superseded Part number 391529?

Thanks!

Further......I have used a product since my youth call "OSPHO" for surface prep in rusty metals. It is basically phosphoric acid. It is a little much to breath in and can sting a bit on exposed skin but it does an awesome job. I just chip and wire brush off all the loose rust, apply with a...

Thanks! I always forget to "Google it"...too much old school I guess. The model is 304. It was built in 1992. I have some hard to get NOS parts should anyone need them.

Anybody know what these "flaps" do...Dixon deck, blade side
