    Battery terminal bolts dissovling.

    Rider mower, 12v battery. I have had to replace the bolts many times. These are the latest. The negative terminal bolt is fine, the positive terminal bolt is dissolving away where it is exposed to air. I tried using stainless steel bolts last time but they don't last either. I think I used...

    Mower Humor

    Wind power, beer power and gluten free. Okay, wind power motor? Glutten free muffins with the beer? Don't think so. And the rear discharge towards the feet? Well, given the power input from the wind blade, I won't worry about any grass coming out. Rick IMG_1009s by rickpaulos, on Flickr

    First one has TEETH! Looks like sharks teeth in the front. For sale a at a junk shop. Skinniest crankcase It looks like independent suspension at first look but a closer look and it's just a different way of mounting the wheels. The chain & lever in back looks like a clutch or brake control...

    Super Fun with the Super Tomahawk Shredder

    Shredding away today when one of the flail shafts broke! Lots of awful noises and a huge shower of sparks. My first instinct was to "run away, run away". Then I ran back and flipped the clutch to off and choked the motor to stop that. Closer inspection showed the broken shaft, a melted down...

    Id my Homelite trimmer

    Here is a photo of the manufacturer's label. Which is the model number? So many numbers! PS-01525 Family - XH2XS.0254RA UT20706 SN MA1800235 06-99 I'm guessing it was made in June 1999. The fuel filter was loose in the tank. The end of the fuel line or filter broke apart. And the primer bulb...

    Looking for suggestions. Mom (age 83) is complaining about how hard her pull start mower is to start (totally worn out mower of unknown brand) and is looking for a new or used mower. I've repaired it numerous times and it was a pos when ever it was new. I think a plug in 120volt electric...

    Deck swap: Lawnboy for Wheeler (by MTD)

    The deck on my favorite* mower, a 20 to 25 year old Wheeler manufactured by MTD, is falling apart. I've replaced the handle brackets, had to reinforce the bracket bolts with huge fender washers as the deck is cracking all over. I just got a Lawnboy rolling chassis. Deck, wheels, handle. Will...

    Shrinking bags

    My 1320 bags seem to be getting smaller over the years. Anyone notice that on theirs? Are the bags the same for the twin bag model as the 3-bag model? It takes seconds to fill the bags with leaves, then the tube jambs up. I'd like to use the mower for picking up leaves but I spend as much...
