    OK... Let's See Your Mower!

    A while ago, while golfing, I noticed the club had a bunch of Deere mowers sitting- faded paint, flat tires and all. I was so tempted to ask if they would sell them. Being they would cut large swaths like fairway and rough, It would have come in handy in my 1.5 acre yard...right next to my...

    New Toro Start Problem

    I would do some troubleshooting before he takes it in only to be told a "dirty carb" is not covered by warranty. -look at carb opening. Being cold, is the choke closed? Does the choke connect to a lever that connects to something else(like auto choke or thermal choke) If open when cold, then u...

    Uh-Oh Ethanol!

    That's old news. This was reported many years ago. These reports never touch on how "gasahol" eats may parts in older cars. What they don't tell you in gas-ahol is the intensive multiple stages that it takes to grow the corn they get gas from using a diesel tractor to boot. Actually, I would...

    Where Calif goes others will follow?

    Just like electric cars- lakes of chemicals to extract the elements to make this "environmentally friendly" battery in china.

    So in reality, Remington didn't settle. It was the lawyers\insurance companies representing Remington who settled.

    Does coating the underside of deck really work?

    True. Water carved out the Grand Canyon... ps. The best luck I've tried is rubber roof coating. after 2 summers, some is coming off but I don't see rust unlike other options like paints, car undercoating,etc that come off quick. My dad had a sandblasting business and blasting barely scratches...

    Lifetime Deck warranty is not hhhhonored

    The 1 time I bought new was an Echo Hedge trimmer. They live up to your statement as they (store and echo support) point out I was responsible for labor. A friend and his echo blower had the same experience. It is cheaper to just buy the part and replace it myself. Good sales trick.

    Homelite Super 2 No Idle

    It was open probably 1/8". There was plenty of blowback that a puddle of gas would build up in the carb. Runs like a top now.

    Homelite Super 2 No Idle

    I have a David Bradley 360 chainsaw. I had to rebuild the reed valve on mine(it was stuck open). Spring steel from a feeler gauge and Epoxy did the trick.

    Husq chop saw part

    Husq K760 Can anyone tell me where to get the circled part? I guess it is right hand thread and trying all screw sizes, nothing fits. As shown, they don't have a part number for it. Anyone have this saw laying around for parts? Thx.

    States and locales banning sale of petrol powered tools in a coupla years

    On youtube there is a video where the guy shows a few Teslas- you know the "green vehicles" charging. Following the power cords, they go to a large diesel generator. In your case, the mowers will leave their truck running while they are cutting to charge up batteries to swap every other job.

    Echo Leaf blower problem

    where the fuel hoses meet the big grommet going into the tank, pinch 1 fuel hose at a time while spraying some soap water on the black grommet I mentioned. Look for bubbles. Try pinch each hose(it would take too long to explain which proper hose to pinch…. This rubber grommet leaks air so you...

    Engine facing backwards

    I have one of them- Tec, plastic grass catcher and all. I thought Perhaps so the fuel tank is up front - easier to get to than toward back???? Soon after that, Tecumseh moved the fuel tank to the side and turned the engine so the plug was to the side and tank still to the front. Maybe???

    Quantum 5.5 electric start help

    Bolts to the engine are your ground. I would check the safety switch. Have the wifey hold the key and dead man bar to crank and check that voltage make it to the safety relay and if the safety switch does close the circuit. Then see if voltage goes out of the safety switch to the motor. That is...

    Snapper drive question

    I'm talking about the part that bolts to the deck and the top has a tube welded on that the variable speed slides left and right in. If go to full slow and full fast and both wander back to spring sitting vertical, then yeah, I would say u have it centered. I just remembered- it is pretty new...

    Snapper drive question

    Look at the L bracket that the rubber wheel slides left and right on. Get a long flat screwdriver and wedge it between the bracket and the tube that the shaft slides left and right in. Now fire it up and have the wifey shift it to low speed and u bend the bracket back a little and see if the...

    California law bans small off-road gas engines, including lawnmowers and chainsaws

    Have you tried getting a solder iron and replace just the batteries? That's what I did to keep my 90's drills going. New lithium batteries are WAY less than buying a new battery pack. Also, for kicks, I tried what I saw on utube- get batteries from recycle box. All the ones I have grabbed had...

    Standard spark plugs vs. iridium.........

    Electricity arcs easier from sharp edges. They say Iridium tip plug is harder than copper plug so it hold the sharp edge longer. I think plugs are like oil. My car had 150K when i looked inside the cylinder. The hatch marks are still there. I use dino oil. Maybe synthetic is better for extremes...

    Apple Scmapple

    Apple has the talent to always known just how much to piss off\insult users but still keep them as customers. I have never and never will buy an apple product.

    This one has me stumped/6.5 hp quantum

    out of curiousity - if u grab the air filter housing and try to wiggle it, does it move?? I ask becase I have had a few where the tube that goes from carb to block by the muffler was cracked. Coincidence, one was a power sprayer motor... Also, did u check the rubber seal that seals the tube...

    bolt broke off

    I have a quantum mower motor where 2 bolts that held it to the mower deck broke off in the engine sump. I never had to extract this so for anyone who did - is it a pain to remove(I assume heat it up wiht a torch and whack the bolt) so is it worth the trouble?? TIA.
  40. upupandaway

    There's your problem

    On a related note- Do you think i need to replace this air filter??? Reminds me of the Simpsons where the house is majorly sinking. The repair guy puts his level on the wall and it slides off. He says "I think i found the problem" or something to that effect.

    Old BR430 problem

    Yeah Fish, I tried that. when i slide the kill switch, it pushes the ball right out . In response to another response, with the loose cable, the carb goes back to idle so it isn't because of cable binding. Oh well, I'll keep looking. I have another blower and mostly keep this one because it is...

    Just heard today that Black and Decker / Stanley bought MTD

    I know they switched makers of their riders but many if not all Craftsman push mowers were still Husq(917) last time i looked. Looking at sears.com, looks like they don't sell Craftsman mowers at all now....

    Gas tank threads shot

    I found a briggs gas cap online and with pliers was able to somewhat straighten out the threads. I borrowed a cap from another old beater and the threads are catching. I still need to try something to fix the not smooth edge of the tank or else gas splashing around will come drooling past the...

    BD owns the Craftsman name. To my knowledge, Sears has Husquvarna make their Craftsman mowers while MTD makes them for BD.

    Old BR430 problem

    Thanks. My problem is in part 1. In the "candy cane" shape slot, the ball sits with plenty of slack. I tried lifting the end to hook the top of the "candy cane" but as soon as I slide the kill up, it pushes the ball out of the slot to just sit there and back to step 1 again. So im not missing...
