I have it on a shirt.

I have a mower than ran before I sold it, it ran when I sold it to him. Now he tells me it doesn't run. The first thing, "gas" smells like paint solvent- the kind I use to regrip my golf clubs. I tell him and he says "nuh uh!!!". I dump it, add gas, and it runs like a top again. Maybe he should...

"Sometimes pull cord kicks back" Sounds like your flywheel sheared the key.

Of the ones I have come across, the only parts that break on your mower is wheel bearings(rust)- if your wheels have them(they are at Home Depot for $10). There is also the few rubber parts like belt and drive wheel. That is normal after many years. The other spinning parts I have come across...

I would check\replace the diaphragm first. If the gas doesn't smell funky, that would likely get it running. The diaphragm is the 4 screw plate above the tank on the side of the muffler. When I get these, usually it IS the diaphragm that is no longer flexible. Heads up when u remove the...

Yeah, you are missing a few parts - the vane that goes in the square opening on the flywheel cover\shroud, the screw that the vane pivots on-to the hole to the left of the choke, and the spring that pulls the vane toward the flywheel. pm me. I have those misc parts laying around.

Where they are mounted in the engine. I'll heat it up next time I need to remove them. I have 1 older one where none broke but I just got one with good compression but the owners likely snapped all 3 to replace the rope and a 3rd one that the screw is not turning so I am leaving it so as not to...

I have a Briggs and Stratton 11P902-0693-B1 where the 3 screws that hold the cover and pull cord assembly keep snapping. I tried wiggling it back and forth with no luck. Anybody have any trick with these screws? Briggs Engine

What I don't get is that if this truck costs as much as a Diesel truck, how is it financially feasible? I mean, like a plane, you use the crap out of it to pay for itself. A battery truck will be down for hours a day just to charge. The GM Hummer took almost 24 hrs to charge. This will have a...

I looked there already. Mine is not there but there is a 14hp so I guess it should be the same. Thx.

Being the bottom of the engine is not flat, I know I would have a template that is off thus drill in the wrong places.

Anyone have a link to a diagram of the dimensions of where the bolt holes are for a Briggs 281707? I'm playing and would like to know where to drill holes vs eyeballing it. TIA.

I have one of those covers laying around. It is used so it is not perfect and it is black, not red.

Oh... interesting. I wondered why HD only had Toro gas mowers...

Understandable. When running a company when you reach for that part, it better fit and work or you are out another hour+ to get a part that works. Buying from the the maker or an OEM supplier can 99% guarantee to fit and work. Personally, myself putzing around fixing my own odds and ends, I...

I beg to disagree. I mean sure, sell a model with no tap\bolt for use where you can't get to it such as on a power washer but I have seen quite a few Quantums on mowers with the flat spot where the bolt went. In other words- they still used the same mold to cast the part but want to save the 39...

Look up "bearing" on google maps. You will find some industrial supplier nearby. Ask for a good industrial name brand seal like Timken so you don't get a crappy seal from china that is hard as a rock and will leak in no time. This seal is about $5 each so you don't save much if any buying it...

There are many different setups. post a pic\model numbers so we can tell u. There are a few different quantums that are used on power washers. Some are the plain briggs. It is like a mower with 1 catch- it has a heavier flywheel than the mower setup. Some use a Quantum with a stubby shaft...

maybe knocking it loose will give u an idea. A Kawasaki i got recently had an oil filter that needed the Jaws of Life to knock loose- just like personal car oil filter experience. If it easily turns I would guess it is recent but yes as posted above - look at the oil to see if it looks fairly...

"The guy threw in a file." And you're not happy??? jk. Ouch!!!

I went with the shorter filter on my Gravely 0-T. Short or long filter- I figure this small engine does not pump as much oil as a 4IL so it shouldn't make any difference. I would be nervous of 2 parts rubbing up agains each other. my ₵₵.

I can say the cub CC989 used that deck. I had a Sears copy of this mower also. I'll do some digging through my pics. Hope this gets u closer to a fix.

Face it- that's the internet. it processed your order and has it on file, maybe it submitted an order to the maker of the part and the maker has no plan in making\shipping it in the next 6 months. The whole time, no person personally looked at your order. That's the computer age for u. I...

"Green Bean Casserole Seltzer" Look at it this way - it is not as crazy as eating bugs....

I buy parts when I am fixing for others, but if I didn't hack\cnc alternate\new parts, my old machines wouldn't be running as parts being NLA. I actually get alot of oldies\goodies because the shops are firm with your attitude. A Western Auto tiller only needed a new 10" wheel which to the shop...

Actually, it doesn't have Fwd and Rev ports. The first piston pump only tilts to change the order the pistons-the direction it pumps fluid- thus the direction the mower moves.

On my personal stuff when I came across this, I used a dremel tool cutting disk and cut slots on the 2 mix screws. I don't want to buy the tool only to adjust it once...

It doesn't have 6 set speeds right? If so, the transmission works by pumping fluid and not by direct gear drive. (I found pics but don't see a spec what trans u have) Check the trans fluid level. Just being low, maybe it is overheating- parts expanding as you drive it??? Being it pumps oil to...

How is cali going to enforce this? I mean can my brother smuggle a gas mower and use it and say it is old if he gets harassed? (That's what I would do)

I'm a nobody but I can say I have come accross a good number of honda mowers. 99% People toss them for 1 problem. If it doesn't work, the problem they all have is the self propel. Of the types of self propel, the 4 speed gear propel is OK. The variable speed type are the ones that are shot. I...

The unloader would be parts 11-23. If no funny noises, Low pressure=I would guess is the unloader stuck open. With the unloader, usual- righty tighty, higher pressure. back off that unloader so it is very low pressure and try to move the "plunger" part of it by hand. It should move freely to...

I have seen where the teeth themselves on the wheel are totally chewed to a nub the slipping, it must be the teeth. I would suggest get a file or dremel tool and round off the metal teeth. They must be shaving the plastic teeth. I have seen sears mowers with the same setup from the 80's and the...

I came accross a HS56 but it is missing the pull cord assembly. Before I buy the missing parts, I want to test if it runs so I am using a drill to crank to see if the ignition works. Compression feels good but that is for later. I do not get any spark(or is it I just can't see it???) with the...

Crew pouring gas to start another job:

I see the full line plus a hair of the shadow for 1.0 on the scale. If it less then you wouldn't see the 1.0 line or barely see it. Anyway, that's what I see. Looking at a video, it appears it has been too long since i used one as I am reading on the wrong side of the line and reading up...

Looks like 1.045- looking at an angle and all...

That's typical. In the last 10?? years they have been building mowers with a cover underneath the mower covering the belt reducing the grass collecting problem u have. I posted a pic here before where grass collected forming the shape of the whole cover. You could look around to find a...

If you have seen some of his experiments you know what I am talking about. I just found a mower with a Briggs Quantum engine. It ran bad. Taking a wiff of the tank, I noticed the owner used paint thinner as gas. Dumped it and added gas and it runs fine.

How old is it?? I ask because my 80's sears rider only has a safety switch to start only with blade disengaged. Yours likely has safety switches under the seat, under brake pedal, and blade engage that would cause your problem. Exactly what model do you have? Someone should have a schematic...

not so much with the total size of the yard, but oh yeah there are. If u have a yard with humps, you can easily scalp them. Probably the biggest factor(IMO) is if you have trees, rocks, etc. that are pretty close together that if u get a 72" 0-turn you can't reach. At one of my homes, I alone...

Thanks!! I saw the Parmi name before but finding this 92 Parmi tiller made me wonder about the brand.

Does anyone have some history of Parmi Tool Co? Who bought them? I have come across some machines from that company lately. Thx.

I was looking for another video where there is some shindig where there were 4 Teslas charging but couldn't find it. The guy behind the phone showed in disgust where the power cord ran to which was a Caterpillar Diesel Generator, so joke or true- both(plus many more) same point. Electric car is...

At least this guy is honest: Tesla owner uses generator to recharge

They still made the aluminum deck in 92?? "never started it for 14 years. Then big sister bought a house in 2006 and dad gave her the mower." The thought of Comic Guy opening a never opened old comic and going "Oh no!!" comes to mind. I had the same reaction when I broke the seal opening a...

I did. I used Ortho Weed-b-gone and I tried the other brand also. They clearly say they work on my weeds.

Every spring, I spray weedkiller. Every spring, many of the weeds curl up but stay green. Some of them, 1 branch is curled up, the other branch looks untouched. They look like they are laughing at me with a black eye instead of being dead like they are supposed to. I read the instructions temp...

Just remember- batteries are just expensive gas tanks. You still need to burn something or blow on something to get the electricity to fill the battery. Look up pics of how china gets the precious metals to make their "environmentally friendly" batteries. They have farms of chemicals(the kind...

Good job!! Cool looking tractor!

If yours is like this: https://www.partstree.com/models/hr215-k1-sxa-mzam-honda-walk-behind-mower-made-in-usa-sn-mzam-6200001-mzam-9999999/sxa-sma-transmission-22/ then there is no bleeding in that it is not hydraulic drive but just gears. I have had 2 215s- 1 with the horizontal drive shaft and...
