Don't forget Ace Hardware

And after a while that old water gets moldy / funky.

Cool, & fun for me as well. Thanks.

Thanks to Everyone for their insight on this, (y)

These are so cool to see, most for 1st time..

Very true.

Thanks, I did that today after mowing a small portion, , All 3 idlers bearings seems similarly warm, but not hot,., And the side play was very less noticeable, than when checked cold. Mower ran great.

Ahhh, could ya repeat that ?

I think in todays world, many places don't care anymore.. Used to be a Pride in workmanship.

I'm sticking with the Amsoil Saber.. Everyone has their favorite it seems.

Thank U Sir, will do..

Did not know that, Thank You. It is the extra sloppiness that I got concerned about. But I have never checked them like this before.

I think so. I cleaned / sharpened & Balanced them. & smooth running.

Same here.

I gotta whittle down my "friends" list. Many I don't know at all. Just view common stuff.

Well mine is certainly not melting anymore.. Used to when I was using Echo orange .095 line

Good point. Thank You again. Will be having time later this week, to give good inspection & idler pulleys spin w/belt off. All cutting blades are straight & line up together on all ends. No play I can detect at this time.

Cool..

Thinking more on it, I have nicked a root on my Maple tree a couple times. Is that the type of shockload you mentioned ?

I think you may be right.. Never any issues here.. Now I only mix with Amsoil Saber Never knew of the Shin T-230X, Cool. I love my 10 year old T235.. Best I ever had, & bought it new.

Wow, I used to use Tru Fuel in my Shindaiwa T-235 at end of season when my can ran empty.. Never any issues.

I'm still under warranty (5 Year), but paying them to come & get it would be way more than an idler would cost. Certainly not a water contamination issue, as I have never had water near it, not even rain. And I engage blades at lower mid rpm's then throttle up as my book advises.

That's what my Dad preached & having common sense was important as well..

Are you seeing these idler pulleys going bad early on newer machines ? Mine is 2021

Great advice, so far smooth, & no feet numbness, But my feet have some numbness off the mower. but will pay closer attention everything since you added to your advice.. What got me looking as I was blowing it off was, I thought I heard a slight bit of new sound. I'm gonna drop off belt &...

Cool, Thanks.

Yea, it is cool how it raises the deck to vertical, super easy to do your thing then..

Hoping my Liberty does good as well on my land only..

I will check all 3 idlers for smoothness & noise soon..

Some use fluid film or cooking oil spray, after good underside deck cleaning..

I believe that vid is referring to the new Speed Feed 500 head only.. Love my 400, old school.

Some remove that spark arrestor screen, to help keep ex port build up minimized. But you could also start a bad fire to the property.

A relative has a Hustler Raptor w/ Flip up deck. For easy under deck access, he is 82, I like that feature, but seems Hustler has dropped due to the additional $2k price for that option.

?

It is Part # 483422, approx 1/18" side play, normal or not ? Only the one pulley.. May be beginning of very slight noise down there. Only has 58 hours on it.

Rock on Scrub !!

Yep, I used Amsoil 20-50 for Hydros when I serviced mine.

Agree with that, My Toro & now My Liberty were both off the marked cut height setting.. But I fixed that & Even compensated for me on board. Yes I'm pretty anal about some stuff.. Otherwise it keeps me up at nights..

Agreed.

Yea, I agree.. LOL

Well spoke too soon on 2 things (wife is gonna become X-wife) & her Linc threw 2 codes for the turbo. P0299 & P144L Turbo under boost & Evap Emission Purge I think. Not my problem.

I remember reading .030" tip x .030" up the angle.

Cool indeed, But I agree about that amount of grass getting mowed, maybe they have tag teams to push it..

Ditto....

Agreed 100%..

Karma, I'm thinking.

Welcome Aboard !

To get 2 more inches of height, tires would have to be 4 inches taller overall.

You are holding the spark plug base metal to touching the engine metal ? This completes the circuit. Maybe try & test again.
