Scrubcadet is right. Have someone engage\disengage the bar and you watch what happens on the other end. the brake\kill wire are not engaging. It might just need a little oil or something. When u push the brake and it stops, do u feel like you are pulling the cable?? Maybe the cable is snagging...

That's why i am afraid if\when sears goes bye bye. Lowes won't do a swap so you would have to mail the tool to Stanley for replacement. I know because i had a broken Stanley tool and that is the lifetime warranty they offer.

I just got a few blowers (for $10 each :LOL:). Just changing the primers did the trick and they all run. Looking around, I see all stickers that would tell me what model i got are gone. I think it looks like models BR500 to 700. Can anyone tell me what else would tell me what i got?? Thx.

If you look at the seal, somewhere you will find info on what type of seal you have. If no luck, do a google maps search for "bearing" and those shops can either find the part # or else find a seal that fits your tiller. They can find one that fits with just the shaft size and the outer diameter.

It is a shame that with all markets when new, you have many brands with products that had their own way to get the job done - heck there were over 100 companies making cars in the US alone at one time! Over time many are either out of business or bought out and in the end you have only a hand...

Which is now a Shell product. Call it anecdotal but one time i bought a trans just for some electronic parts and springs and the seller would only sell the whole trans. Opening it, I found that the plates are all worn out and the previous owner used a purple trans fluid - the purple "super...

Thing is, that wouldn't tell u if the cylinder is oblong would it?? Last time i did this, I measured from 12 to 6o'clock and from 3 to 9 o'clock at top middle and bottom of cylinder.

Back in the "good 'ol days"(up to 2000ish), HP(like Dell and Gateway) sold PCs with parts off the shelf. That meant that your PC NIC, video card, modem, etc would work in 3 different OS versions. Then they started engineering the hardware so that if you upgrade OS, the modem and NIC didn't work...

Well, build a little trailer for the bag to sit on then.

Good idea! I have a box of the velcro which has a loop on one end(so i can't drop it) in the server room. I'l grab one of those... MarcC: From what you say your problem is, one likely cause is that the bolt holding the carb float bowl has small passages. Dirt\deposits are restricting the flow...

I have one of these(just a few years newer). If you have too much trouble getting the original diaphragm carb to work you could replace the whole carb- carb or else(which i did) the tecumseh bowl carb fits so u could replace it with that - bowl carb

I know. I'm just skeptical that if the noise is a sharp loud squeal (which is common when this trans is low\out of fluid) I would suspect low on fluid. You don't don't get a sharp squeal noise from parts submerged in oil(very muffled if any). My Deere has the exact same trans. I found out on...

The trans squealing can be caused by low oil. With low oil maybe it is foaming(thus stop working) after using it for a few minutes... Look around the transmission. Do you see alot of oily dirt sticking the trans? That could point to leaking fluid thus being low and could explain your problem. Do...

If you have no luck finding a whole carb, you can also just replace the carb needle and seat: Needle and seat This is your cause of the fuel leaking(assuming the float moves freely up and down). That's strange how the carb lookup pulled up a push mower carb. This one uses a larger carb than...

That's because they spot weld them from the factory. i cut around the weld. To each his own.

Maybe not. if the battery case is held shut with screws, pull out that soldering iron and screwdriver - you can always replace just the batteries. Watch out as to not break the circuit board in the battery. Lithium batteries need this circuit to regulate usage and charge unlike NiCads.

Just curious, what is bad that you need parts? If it is engine part then u can stop hunting for a manual and the engine model info is enough.

From personal experience, I agree with Fish and would bet cleaning out the bowl and the metering screw at the bottom of the carb bowl will fix your problem. I swear 99% of the time i find a mower that won't start(with carb problems) or won't stay running, this is the fix. Check the easy stuff...

So you get a click when u turn the key?? If it is a pain to get to the relay, reach in with a metal rod and tap the relay a few times and try again. It just might knock loose the piece inside the relay causing your problem. At least it would tell u if replacing it is worth the trouble if it is...

Well.....call me lazy but when shredding\bagging leaves, i got tired of having to restart it, I tied a rope to hold the safety bar for me while i dumped the leaves. Of course i stop the mower if i need to walk away and do whatever... Get a string and with the safety bar engaged(before u start...

it would help if u post an engine model number. this model was made for about 30years so it was sold with many engines. It sounds like you have a carb problem more than an ignition problem. Does your mower have a rubber primer on top of the engine?(my LM21 does) If so press that 2 x and try to...

R u sure it is rod knock u hear? You can find out if it is piston slap you hear while u have it open, push right and left side and look if the piston rocks when u do it. If slap is from the crank journal, i guess you could gently turn the crank a hair back and forth while the piston is at middle...

With the honda honda mower u posted, remove the bag and there is a plate to the left. Remove the plate and see if the gear box wobbles\turns with the shaft forward and back. Being pretty old, the drive shaft input bushing wears out. If so, the gear box wobbles, and the gears don't mesh.

Yes, it is iron sleeve. Sounds like the bottom ring is not wiping the oil off the cyl wall or perhaps the drain holes from that ring are all clogged. If I were u, i would remove the piston and clean the piston and replace the rings. I mean it is 30ish years old.... While you are at it, rent the...

After you clean it out, if u want you can coat the tank so it won't rust again. I don't endorse it but i used the Por-15 tank sealer on my Snowbird many moons ago because after cleaning, it would keep rusting. I surely didn't want it to rust a hole in the tank.

I think it is a Clinton. No clue on model but I hope it steers you in the right direction. Good luck at getting it to run. This one???

Can't you remove the bolt that didn't snap and find and take that to the HW store? Make sure to get a grade 5 bolt so your replacement doesn't snap again.

If u have no luck, you could make your own replacement. You would need to make a mold of the original tire to pour this stuff into: Urethane They make different textures from soft to hard as a rock. Call a local plastics place and they can help you out.

To avoid dropping mine next time i change, i cut a hole under my battery to reach and fill using the breather:I then run a tube from a funnel to this orafice.

With this, this is why with my 3hp table saw, I go by the rule 'don't take your eye off the blade, never put my hands between my eyes and the blade- move hands down and around the blade.' I like my fingers....

so you blow air here that i circled or else where? If yes, then as i said before. The screw at the bottom of the carb bowl also acts metering fuel. Pinch the fuel line, take out the screw and with a needle and or carb cleaner clean out the small hole on the side and the 2nd hole on top. Just...

So you blow compressor air into the carb and it starts? I think what that does is create a greater than normal vacuum in the carb venturi thus it starts. That would mean in the carb some crud is making it harder for the fuel to flow up as it should. Post a model # or a pic of the mower as...

That's cool. At my work there were a few developers who I know that don't know how to use a screwdriver that were bidding on items just to resell them for a profit. I only bid(and won) items I would keep and use.

I think profanity was invented by mechanics.

Well, this was fun... I was about to open it up to find what was wrong when i removed the plug from the hydraulic side to drain it and nothing came out. I know i poured ~2 quarts in... I stuck a drill bit in about 2 inches from underneath thinking there was a clog but nothing came out so i...

I did notice when on the ground, in gear or not in gear(to push around). I can push it around as if it is in neutral all the time. "Release lever"?? Which part are you referring to?? Thanks.

I have a Sabre(JD) but the problem is more a Tuff Torq problem. The mower has the k51a trans. It moves kinda slow so i figured to change the fluid. The fill plug is just under the battery so to avoid removing the trans each time to change the fluid, I cut a hole to reach the fill. From watching...

It is amazing what companies throw away. I got 4 ~5' 8" tall Lista drawer cabinets for $40 each among a bunch of other things, from my work's factory closing. I missed out on this: Cart because i was out at the Silicon valley campus at the time they were auctioning it.

If u have a FS36, it is also sold as fs44. Does this look right? https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-STIHL-FS-44-String-Trimmer-Flywheel-Ignition-Coil-Walbro/143667111587?hash=item21733a26a3:g:XgcAAOSwLbNfH059:sc:USPSPriority!75013!US!-1

I've been procrastinating at replacing mine also. So far I've gotten by spraying some adhesive onto the disk to get by. So far 3 months so good... *BUT* i think it is remove the horizontal orange bar then the shaft with the pulley will have enough play that you can lift it up and slide the wheel...

If u guys want some parts, I parts from this sitting around: PM me and ill send u pics of the parts i have.

When i come across that, I wrap the mix screw with pipe thread tape. Make sure not to wrap the tip but only the threads. https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-2-in-x-520-in-Thread-Seal-Tape-31273/202206819

I had a srm2301 where I tried the shc225 hedge trimmer head to fit the shaft. It is not easily interchangeable but it fit... The 2301 fit the current trimmer straight shafts(i think) so.....

There was an 'aspiring' salvage yard back when i was in Chi. I say aspiring because it wasn't an acre but they did have at least 50 mowers alone + other stuff. I could take a whole mower\tiller for $10(rider= $20 and they had a few old Cub Cadets!!) and dump\return what i didn't need when done...

Sorry, beg to differ. I have seen numerous hondas where the trans was broken- retail brands I cannot say i ever found one but have seen missing parts or stripped teeth on wheel but not broken gearbox. From the trans that i've seen, if u get one, get the honda that has x(I think it was 5)...

No offense but a quick lookup of oil flow through a 3/8" pipe alone will handle 1.89cu ft/min. and there are how many holes in the standard filter? Being it is not a 4liter engine it won't be pumping anywhere close to the limit. Personally i use a Wix car filter on my Kawi because it is flat...

"handle and the box " Oh. Oops my bad - mine had a different handle. scratch that idea. Did u already try the add washer trick i mentioned?

It is kinda pain to do that with this mower cuz if u take the front apart the belt is loose so u r just eyeballing it if the belt is loose. If u want to check if the belt is tight I think the best place is to look underneath with someone or held with a rope to see if the belt is tight. By the...

If your mower has the triangle box with a trigger there is a nut where the cable enters the box that u can tighten the cable. Or else post what setup your mower has.

Can u post a pic or model number? Odds r it is 2 likely causes. The belt stretched so u need to pull a little further to make it grab or else maybe the belt is hard shiny that it is slipping.
