(y) :LOL:

IT is a highly flawed design from the start and both AYP & JD use it It was just OK on the older models like the LX Deers that had narrower wheels and not this idiot pretend near zero turn steering set up . There is simply too much load on the bushing , it needs EP bentonite gear grease , not...

Me thinks it comes from the days of oxy where the lenses are just a plain tint because oxy gives off mainly infra-red so no UV protection Arc welding filters are supposed to filter off UV & infra red And plasma cutting lenses are better still In any case I am not going to look at it because...

Are you using the key switch off the JD to run the Swisher ?

Sounds like a leaking fuel hose or you have them reversed Fill the tank and depress the purge bulb ( if it has one ) If air comes out the filter the hoses are back to front If no purge bulb fill just above the return tub in the tank and see if it runs till the fuel level drops to the end of the...

I do around 300 jobs a year when the health allows it 1 person sole trader & independent And that is individual jobs , not uncommon for some one to turn up with 3 or more items This excludes blade sharpening ( both mower & saws ) I could do more if I wanted to but headache customers get told...

Farmer tech in China CTS in China ( they sell via ebay if you ask them to list ) Made in China Alibaba ( not Ali-direct ) Stens, Rotary Prime Line I keep about 20 mower carbs in stock I keep about 50 hand held carbs in stock

It is a casting defect They can actually move through the alloy when it gets hot enough Flat heads usually do not have that much compression so it should not be a problem IF it worries you then Devcon aluminium paste is the best filler Next best is POR 15 metal filler After that there are...

One of the really good things about being allowed to use swing back blades I end up with boxes full of old dead blades to patch decks with Being that I Oxy weld I just tack the end then forge to blades around the complex shapes tacking as I go Then back for a full edge weld

Tygon is branded with their name and the grade of the hose Unbranded is yellow cellulose plastic and crumbles in a season or so .

Nothing happens till you run the engine The governor at rest has the throttle wide open So you do not see any movement apart from the spring going a little slacker .

That is why we are here to help & also learn. Like Star I have added some to my next electrical parts order . I found one listed for Cub and it was $ 42 wholesale so $ 5 worth is a good investment if I can charge $ 20 and save the customer $ 20 . Otherwise you are looking at a full loom and...

Yep used to use it every week on the petrol station dip sticks .

the only conspiracey there would be port official taking back handers to allow a dangerous ship to leave the port . When we had only governments running ports there were next to no vessel defect problems Then we sold off the running of ports to private enterprise and we have 3 or 4 major...

Just to put it in perspective when we raced the 500CC BSA we were using AMAL main jets from 495 down to 420 A standard petrol engine ran 190 to 240 so better than twice as much fuel And from memory ( 50 years ago ) we ran 15:1 to 17:1 . My diesel runs 22:1 And like everything else for speed ...

raise the rear both wheels off the ground and try to turn them If they turn in opposite directions then the clutch pads have rusted onto the disc or the pins have rusted in the caliper Assuming they do turn Remove the wheel Take a photo of the clutch noting where the springs go Remove the rod...

And I would give Xtreme a quick call to make sure that the end cap is correct Never seen one that was not D shaped so yours might be a hangover monday morning special .

And note just how clean that box is Dust in a hydro kills them in no time flat So clean, clean & clean again

Soldering the replacement will do fine. Usually they are just crimped together with the wire at the terminals ( cheap ) before the terminals are inserted into the plug If you have the terminals , crimper & extraction tool it is a 3 minute job Just remember they are polarity sensitive as is a...

Hard bore soft rings make for an engine that runs in very quickly . Most Mitsubishi engines are the same I use a lot of L300 vans and I have needed to re ring a few but never a rebore except for the one that a rod let go My fault of course .

And a forged or steel rod Both will require rebalancing of the engine Not too expensive for a buggering around project Get a racing head if one is available as they have a squish band designed to burn dope .

You get more power but you burn more fuel. The extra power comes from being able to run higher compression ratios

On some of the old flat heads I have needed to ream out the throttle butterfly shaft hole because it it oval and leaking air . I got a pile of small plastic bushes in a grab bag of stuff at a swap meet some time ago and wadda know one of them is a perfect fit for the shaft . I never buy carbs...

Governed engines usually run around 1000 rpm faster than peak torque The reason for this is as the revs drop the torque increases to counter the load that is making the revs drop in the first place So if that curve is the correct one for you engine then 2900 rpm is probably fine What makes...

No you were not But as it is a mower engine it probably will not matter The + 020 is a circle that is + 020" larger than the bore so you will nor get full contact pressure because the curvature is different Over time the rings will wear excessivly at both the gap and 1/2 way round then break...

South Africa did it during the BS embargo years Ethanol burns slower , needs a higher compression ratio to burn fully and bigger jets ( lots bigger ) because it is not as energy dense .

In a previous life I was partners in a specialist courier business and we had a lot of trade houses & production studios . Not because we were the greatest but mostly because we would allow them to open a new account for every job so they got invoices for each production and that saved the staff...

Thanks Star I have not been there for a while because that was on the old box and it can no longer connect to the WWW Hope I stored the password some where safe. My ISP TPG just sold off their emails section to The Messenging Company and now only 1/2 of them work and none work properly .

Measure the PTO shaft carefully as both B & S and Honda made metric engines for the EU and they have 25mm shafts while US ones are 1"

Got the last lot from India One of the motorcycle parts retailers .

The diode should have some numbers on it that will identify it Any reasonable electrical component store will be able to identify it and supply a replacement Do not be surprised if you have to buy a pack of 10 or 20 When you remove it , cut one wire long and the other short so you remember...

I am yet to come across a engine wit xcessive wear from too thin a mix bit I do get quite a few scored bores from carbon build up on the exhaust port coming loose & getting stuck on the ring AS most 2 stroke oil now days is both ashless & synthetic I see no reason to alter the mix ratios.

When the OZ $ went to $ 1.40 US quite a few opportunistic a-holes raced to Cal & bought container loads of end of season run out mowers, sipped them to OZ and litterally sold them off the back of the trucks . There were a lot of Timecutters , many fitted with the fabricated deck and some with...

Pul the carb off tip it upside down and it should hold 7 PSI . And please stop watching brain dead idiots who have no idea how to use their tools on YT or set the volume on their camera, probably a go-pro inside the plastic weather case by the sounds of it .

Because they leak if you are not very careful when you replace them and because Kawasaki use really soft rings so they will wear out in no time flat, particularly if used on a ZTR with a bagger And as mentioned before, I fit the filter to the ROPS frame so it is not in the way

And I still use them. because they work on mower tubes really well

Well I suppose since trump is allowed to just say anything that comes to ind ( or lack there of ) without taking 0.5 seconds to compose his thoughts then it is fair game for any other 1/2 wit to ramble on and basically say nothing for 30 minutes . The videos I used to make ( not for mowers )...

The PTO switch is linked the the seat switch on just about every mower made No bum on the seat and either the PTO will not turn on or the engine turns off The other think linked to the PTO is the reverse cut out switch and again some shut off the blades while others shut off the engine So there...

I would have said 20 but I have a weird sense of humour .

Use a nut splitter and buy a new nut If the blade is a riht hans cut then the blade will have a right hans nut so it self tightens in use, rather than self loosens in use Then thread below the nut gets rusty & caked in dirt so start with doing it back up tight and cleaning the thread The...

I hope you posted this in jest Kohlers will only do 500 hrs ? Got some with over 2000 very hard hours might argue with that Craftsman a reliable brand. obviously does not know the craftsman is just a name . I left after that And he says he is a mechanic

Like everything is is just a case of knowing your enemy Snakes are all basically cowards and you are a threat to them. Most will not give you a big venom dose because you are too big for them to eat and venom takes a lot of energy so inject 3 or 4 things with a full dose & the snake will starve...

Rubbish If you think you can compress & deform all of the strands of the wires so they become as if a single piece of copper with nothing but your hands an a 5" leverage advantage from a hand crimper then you are delusional or perhaps big Arnie in his prime . With a powered hydraulic press...

And those bags get real heavy with lush spring grass so no way you would lift a single bin

Over the years I have gotten smarter or perhaps lazier not sure Now when I fit a clutch I run a stud up the crankshaft , slide the clutch up till it just touched the end of the crankshaft then tighten a wing nut to draw the clutch up So much easier than trying to hold it up laying on your back...

I am looking at shutting the workshop down The past 4 years have not been kind to me health wise and chopping up a couple of fingers is probably the last straw Looking at retailing CTS down here shortly and just selling parts as they have no local distributor $ 16 US will be close to $ 26 ( Aus...

Tar Star always good to be corrected so now I will know Dosn't change the trouble shooting procedure though

Punch a hole in the end of the discharge chute and put a small eye bolt in it with a large stiffener plate under the chute Then you can tie it back when going through the door

Front king pins, wheel hubs ( inside ) front cross member pivot The pivot nipple is under the arm and often broken off They are shown on the parts diagrams on the JD web page and also in the owners manual accessable from the web site Usually you can only print out 1 section at a time ( PIA)

The magic stuff is silicon spray makes it slide through so easily When I break small twist drill I keep them and grind the drill bit off then polish up the shank This gets poked into the end of the fuel line so there is something to grab on to and push into the tank I bought 100 pack of grommets...
