I went to the lawnmowerandtractor com and I agree with Kenny Spam.:mad:

A average mower engine runs somewhere around 3000 RPM. Other then a push mower I don't known what the spindle speed would be. The question is what would cut grass better a 30in blade or two 15 in blades. It just seems by the time you get to the end of the blade the 30 in blade would be...

The afternoon got away from you and just maybe you just might of have a few too many of you favorite adult beverages. Now you want to mow your own lawn. Do you think that the law should be able come on your own land and give you a DWI or just what should the law be?

What would be a good Idea for this forum would be for members a for sale/ want ad section. This section would not allow any commercial ads. Just like the trend jeffvador is parting out a tractor or if someone needs a part. I belong to a outboard motor forum and it has this trend and it has...

My grandson was looking at some old gas engines today and the person who had the old engines had what he called a hover mower. I brought it up on you tube and they do make such a thing and it looks like it works. This mower has no wheels but hovers. Has anyone ever used one or seen one in...

If you replace your gas filter make sure it is large enough. I just repaired a Bolens 14 HP and when I was done it would run bad when mowing grass. I had just changed the fuel filter with a small paper one I had laying around witch I found this was a mistake. I installed a new larger paper...

I have the head off a old Bolens with a Tecumseh HH140-160001 engine. I am trying to find new gaskets for this engine but they only have a listing for a OH140-160001 engine. They are both overhead valve engines and in the pictures they look alike. What is the difference in the two Tecumseh...

Have a model 68 for repairs, oil leaks (crank shaft seals) and mower deck. The mower deck had broken brackets and cracked. I have cleaned, rewedded the cracks and brackets. I now have the deck panted in Rust-Oleum rust primer. What could I use for John Deere yellow paint that will go over...

Bought a John Deere 185 that a exhaust valve broke off and put a hole in the top of the piston. Seeing the John Deere wants a 110$ for a new piston and seeing I am cheap and don't want to spend this much so I called a welding shop. They told me that they could weld the hole. Has anyone ever...

I am seeing on this forum that some high quality mowers are two cycle. The only thing I can remember about two cycle mowers was back in the 50's it was a cheap noisy smokey mower. How are these newer 2 cycle mowers. It seems like they would be a under powered, gas hog, and you would smell like...

WOT (wide open throttle) When I mow I always mow WOT. I figure that the equipment was designed to get max efficacy from WOT. The ground speed I regulate with the transmission. If the governor is working right you won't over RPM the engine.

Got a old wood splitter that set in a field for about ten years. This has a 5.5 hp tecumseh. To get it running I installed new piston rings, ground valves, new crank seals, complete ignition with old style points, and rebuilt carburetor with a kit. Now about 99% of the time it will start...

I aways mix my gas with 2 cycle oil in two cycle engines and always will. I was talking to a older gentleman in the NY Adriondacks that heats his house with wood. He cuts a lot of his own wood for this. We got talking about oil for his chain saw. He told me when mixes his oil in his gas he...

Bought a used model 180 John Deere from a lawn sale and no owner manual. It has a 17 hp Kawasaki engine. Would anyone know what the type of oil that this engine takes other then brand. I use Ams oil in everything when I buy it new but don't want to put synthetic oil in a engine I don't know.
