    Can't Find Tire Leak

    I've used Stan's No Tube in car, motorcycle, and now bicycle tires. It doesn't cause rust and Amazon has given it a 4.7 based on almost 14,000 reviews. It needs to be reapplied about every 6 months, for a lawn mower tire like you described about 2 oz per tire. They have a small syringe kit with...

    Removing the discharge chute- why not a locking nut?

    I live down below Tampa, Fla. and it's 56 degrees right now. Projected low tonight is 49 degrees. I grew up in Conn. and don't really miss the snow at all. Today reminds me why. I feel your pain.

    Craftsman DGS 6500 - clicks but won't start

    Did you test your battery? How old is the battery? If you have something like a "Battery & Bulbs + store" Or even a decent repair shop you can trust, take the battery in and get it tested. If any of your answers start with, "But I" a test is necessary. Many batteries are good for about a year...

    How does CCs affect blade power and torque?

    I pulled this from online because it uses less words than I would. Maybe it will clarify things. "When it comes to measuring power output for a lawnmower engine, torque is often a more accurate measurement than horsepower. Let me explain why: Torque vs. Horsepower...

    After having kept the machine in storage for a few months, it won't start

    I sort of cheated and got this online, it's stuff I know but it explains it with at least a thousand fewer words. It's from HouseToolkit.com , " Engine Performance and Damage: The muffler not only reduces noise but also plays a crucial role in controlling exhaust flow and back pressure...

    After having kept the machine in storage for a few months, it won't start

    Look at your carburetor, if it has a tiny metal cup on the bottom with a wire attached, take the plastic handle of a screwdriver and lightly tap the cup while turning the key. There's a small pin inside the cup that blocks gas to the carburetor. Turning the key magnetically opens that pin and...

    Dead Mower

    Y'all were doing good, I was actually cheering you on, then you threw in a small dick comment. Oh yeah, pay attention to the correct spelling of the first word. All reflections on your 'intelligence'.

    Front ZT Tire Flat

    I have a Toro 2013 4235 zero turn. The front tires are something like 7" with tubes. I use the following twice a year. I'm SW Fla. I never have flats and you don't have the mess that slime can sometimes make. It does require a removable vale stem...

    Fuel Shut Off

    This question still looks open. The shutoff is designed to empty the carburetor, right. I would put the shutoff closer to it for a couple of reasons. 1st, most machines that have one built in, put it on the block up near the carburetor. That's what you're trying to empty. Why burn a bunch of gas...

    Broken frame

    That option if available might get you a few more years than a jury-rig. I have a 2013 Toro 4235 that I've been very happy with. It sat for a week in about 16" of water from hurricane Ian. It was a pain removing the water from the engine, new starter, battery, brake control module and...

    Broken frame

    Being a bit older I learned the KISS principle a long time ago. This may be a bit of an insult to the "I've got this covered" crowd but did you contact the company to see if a replacement is available and what it would cost? Then compare that to the effort to do the repair. Either way you have...

    Kohler courage sv715-3036 2013

    Hello from Southwest Florida. I have a problem with my Toro ss4235. My area had some flooding during Hurricane Ian. My area hasn't flooded in 22 years living here. I've just been lucky. I have a split-level lot, my house is on higher ground, my shed sits about 30" lower where my mower is stored...
