After trying 3 times (unsuccessfully) to create one of these threads, I asked Catherine (admin) to delete my failed attempts and now I'm going to try for the 4th time. :laughing: My latest project is a Murray M22450. Got it from one of my customers, who ran over tree roots with it and bent the...

I'm going to take apart and clean a Toro 20054 transmission. What oil should I use when re-assembling it? I think it uses 10W-30, but not sure. Thanks!

I have a Honda HRR216VKA that I bought a few months ago. I've been using it commercially. It's a great mower overall, but I've had endless problems with the rear wheels locking up when I pull the mower backwards. After a month of use, the wheels would no longer roll back and I replaced the...

I am preparing to purchase a used zero turn mower for my business. It will be used for a maximum of 10 hours per week on residential yards from 0.15 to 0.33 acres. Previous mower is a custom Honda 21 inch walk behind. It did a great job, but I want to pick up some more yards and I'm tired of...

Here's an image I got from Robert@Honda that may help you with the repair: If you have questions or need any help let me know. Or even better let Robert know :wink:

Does anyone know where I can get a can of touch-up paint for my HRR2169VKA? I work it hard but I want to keep it looking (and running) like new, so I'll need touch-up paint when it gets scraped or scratched. :wink:

Found this on Craigslist: http://louisville.craigslist.org/grd/5814395434.html Bunch of mowers (push and riders), a couple tillers. I see at least two mowers with the Wisconsin Robin engines.

I am having the same problem! Also, I noticed this new icon that popped up on the top banner (click the photo to enlarge it.) Apparently it's a link to ubercpm.com. Strange!

I'm looking at a small ZTR for the 2017 mowing season, and I'd like your opinions on which one to get. I will be buying it used (close to new if possible) and using it commercially to mow lots up to 1/3 acre. The yards are mostly flat, I have a few with slight inclines but nothing big. The yards...

I bought a brand new Honda HRR216K9VKAA off Craigslist, it was still in the box. The previous owner received it as a gift but already had a John Deere, so he never used it. I've had three issues with it so far. Otherwise it's the best mower I've ever owned or used. I am using the mower...

For those of you looking for a new battery for your walk behind with electric start, I would suggest purchasing an alarm system backup battery on eBay. :thumbsup: Get one with about the same capacity and size as your old one. Most of them are $15 to $20. I bought one to use in a go-kart with an...

So I'm looking to get a mulching blade for one of my Snappers. This one: The model is: 21351P The engine is a Briggs and Stratton 110902-3911-01. The label says "187cc." From what I've read, it's 4 HP. I want a blade that will provide a good quality of cut and mulch well, even when the mower...

Picked these up off Craigslist for $25: The one with the black engine runs great, just needs some minor work. :thumbsup: The one with the white engine would probably run, but it made a loud intermittent screeching sound when I tried to start it. Have to troubleshoot that one...

Just want an idea of how often I will need to replace mine. Do they usually last as long as the hedge trimmer? If not, how long should I expect them to last?

It doesn't matter what brand of starting fluid you use. I use whatever the local auto parts store sells. :laughing: Take off the air filter cover and air filter. You will see two circular openings. The bottom one is the carb throat. The choke plate will be blocking it, push on one side (I think...

Several people, including myself, have recently tried to post links and were unable to do so. (See this thread: http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/site-discussion/36196-unable-post-replies.html) It looks like the problem has been resolved. Thanks to the administrators for figuring this out!

I had the wrong parts diagram. :eek: Your fuel tank is removable, but I can't tell you how to remove it because I've never worked on one of those saws before. Maybe a few pictures of the gas tank will help? It looks like your fuel tank wraps around the crankshaft, I think on the bar and...

My local Ace Hardware has become a Stihl dealer and is now selling Stihl equipment. :confused2: I guess Stihl has decided it's okay to let a smaller retail chain begin selling their equipment. I think it's only a matter of time before Stihl equipment pops up in Home Depot and Lowes. :thumbdown:

There is an older Snapper mower for sale on my local Craigslist. Here is a picture: (click link to view it) The seller wants $30 for it, but I can probably get it for less. Is it worth saving, and if so what is a good price to pay for it?

I have a Honda GCV160 on a Craftsman mower. It runs smooth and strong at idle and high speed, but it runs rough and misses at all the speeds in between. I cleaned the carburetor, replaced all the intake gaskets and it has a brand new air filter. The spark plug is also new. Any suggestions?

I need the oil pump gear for a John Deere CS36 chainsaw. The part number is PS03699. This is an old chainsaw, and the part is very hard to find. If you know of a good source for it, OR a more common gear that would be a suitable replacement, please tell me.

This has been my project for the past few days: The engine, handle and wheels came from a rusted out Troy-Bilt deck. The frame is a Craftsman, which was formerly gray. This mower is for a rental property, so I'm not going to sell it.

I've got a Briggs and Stratton Platinum Series engine on a Craftsman push mower. The mower is a trash pull, but it's nearly new. The compression was at 10 psi when I got the mower. The valves look okay, but I took them out and cleaned them to be sure. I didn't see oil leaking into the cylinder...

I have a Tecumseh engine on a Craftsman mower. The model of the engine is 143.955500. As the engine runs, it continually smokes out the crankcase breather tube. The smoke isn't heavy, but it is noticeable and smells of burned oil. I have recently changed the oil, and it shows up in the middle of...

Re: Shindawia T235 Trimmer, Is it really good as they say ? I personally wouldn't worry about non-adjustable carbs. I have replaced carbs on several units, and in some cases the replacement looked nothing like the original. For example, I once acquired a Homelite backpack blower with a...

I was given a Homelite UT32600 that would not start. I took of the air filter cover and there was no air filter. Or was there? A wire mesh covered the air intake, and that was all. I can't find an air filter for this machine anywhere online. Could it be that the wire mesh is all the air filter...

I can't decide whether or not to repaint this mower. Most of the paint is fine, but it has several rust spots. I would like your opinions on it. :thumbsup: A full introduction to the mower is located in this thread.

This is a warning against using cheap or old two-cycle oil. I tend to mix my gas with too much oil, so thankfully I haven't ever had an engine seize. But I have has this oil clog up carburetors. The fuel screens inside the carbs get filled with grayish deposits. The first oil was genuine Echo...

I recently acquired a Homelite Bandit UT-08026-B handheld leaf blower. After I run it for a while and then let it sit, fuel begins to leak out of the air filter. My Homelite Yard Broom (UT-08026-H) did the same thing. I am suspecting that the gas in the tank is heating up and being forced out of...

Which hand tool is most dangerous for you? By "hand tools" I mean tools that are handheld and hand-powered (like screwdrivers and wrenches.) My most dangerous hand tool is my largest flatblade screwdriver. I tend to use it as a prybar/wedge, and have hurt myself numerous times when it slipped.

I am repairing a Homelite Backpacker II leaf blower. The blower has a Walbro WYC-6 carburetor. I rebuilt the carburetor and replaced the primer bulb, fuel lines and fuel filter. The blower then ran, but the throttle response was sluggish. The blower shut off unexpectedly when at idle, and was...

The blue thing in the picture is a wrench. After locking the flywheel in place with your screwdriver, turn the wrench in the direction of the arrow. Sorry I didn't reply sooner! :frown:

When I look at a sub forum (Honda Forum for example) there are some threads that show up with bold titles and some whose titles are in regular text. The bold titled ones are either new or are threads containing posts I have not viewed. Is there an option that will give me a list of these threads...

I am currently looking for a pressure washer of no less than 3000 psi and 2.5 gpm. The Troy Bilt XP3000 is my only candidate so far, as it seems to have the best value for its price. If you have another pressure washer to suggest, tell me, and if you own an XP3000 please take the time to write a...

I have a Craftsman 25cc blower. When I run this blower at full throttle for 30 seconds and then turn it off, hot white smoke pours off and out of the muffler for about 10 seconds. The smoke rises off the metal of the muffler and some comes out the exhaust hole. When I remove the spark arrestor...

Take the screws out of the handle and remove it.

Can anyone here direct me to a site that sells cheap aftermarket parts (especially carburetors)? Thanks!
