I had a LA 135 ? similar start issue just when cold . I rigged the intake so a eyedropper of gas could be injected through the air intake hose . Problem solved . Adjusting the throttle at cranking rpm is waisted - ed effort because with a constant speed governor the the throttle lever adjusts...

Cardboard is what I use then it is re-cycled for some of the kindling in the wood stove .

I didn't appreciate algebra and several others either , but walk in an educator's shoes that requires the job to teach what the public wants . I can't recall all of the classes I was in that taught " Why did Ceasir cross the Rubicon ?

Yes , that would be convenient if i could find it when i needed it . If the Form A Funnel man would do it as i do it , he wouldn't have those streams of running down the side .

That mower wasn't built to mow 5" . None that I know of built like a Craftsman 2000 are . Re-Engineer it by disconnecting all of the height adjustment mechanicals and change what ever is stopping upward movement . ie - if metal in the way remove it . If a lift arm etc. is too short...

Bad Gas is the standard when they have no clue . .Put Champion plugs in it .

Yes , exactly . There are cells on top of mine to add water if necessary .

Blade difference , deck design as mentioned , blade speed etc . and probably several more reasons can be possible for that symptom . A J D rider i owned had baffles and being I will never mulch they were removed and made a real difference and some cleaning problems were solved .

The blade can be balanced that way i i r in Denver .

Yes , that won't be successful on some .

A easy way to remember o's and 0's : Cheerios are round and 0's are ellipse .

Never spill a drop of oil if the filter is loosened so it can be turned by hand , then a hole is drilled at 12 o'clock in the filter butt . Make a funnel that will fit under the filter that will touch the engine . Next rotate the filter ccw to 6 o'clock to put the drilled hole at the bottom and...

Wrenches cause explosions and , i.ve seen 2 men lead a welder to a water hydrant with acidized eyes . i've seen lucky farmers use pliers to check battery condition by how many sparks when the the 2 handle tips touch the posts .So go ahead and screw around with bolts and nuts while i remove or...

Yes Sir ,I agree those that can't prevent sparks with C clamps don't have any business around a battery much less a lawn tractor .

What year did electric mowers come out? AI Overview The first known commercial electric lawn mower was the Ransomes Electra, launched in 1926, though an American machine may have appeared the year before. Electric mowers developed into a more common and popular alternative to gas-powered...

Turn it over , clean , dry . then apply a heavy coating of paraffin . A 1,500 watt heat gun or propane torch will melt a thick coating on .

I agree , balance is important and I use my pocket knife and know where center is . You say , how in hell does that ole man know where center is . Work as a jeweler for awhile and you can get to within 0.005" of center . And another thought . I have a antique Crows foot postal scale to...

Not round

With a propane torch , slowly move the flame from the outer edge area and work the way into the shaft .. Not hot but about 30° above ambient . By applying the heat to the outer edge surface first.the flywheel will expand before the shaft has a chance to get hot .

To make a better blade , stoodite weld wire has been available for nearly a century . Research the hardening process. I realize the blade hardening process will not be for every DIY -er .

install shelf liner in the bottom and use it for storage . It's mouse proof .

Maybe use Edit ?

To compare spacer length it's easy to feel the any difference or use a vernier caliper , by setting the housing on about something like a 3/4 socket and dropping the spacer in . Any difference will of course be at the top .

The reason i don't press one in is to accommodate the expansion forces when those parts increase in length as they gain temperature , The pushed in bearing can move if need be so side stress isn't attempting to force the balls out the side of their housing . If the sleeve that's between the...

Is there a reason the date of a post isn't bold print ?

Many have both bearings pressed in . The last JD i replaced the bearings on had the top bearing a push fit . Those that don't have i reduced the outer race of that bearing diameter until it was a push fit .

The next time you have the chance measure the length of the spacer and compare that measurement to the distance apart the 2 outer bearing races will be when seated completely . If the spacer length is a few thousandth less than the other measurement you're good to go . If it's not less the...

Those with a spacer between the 2 bearings , at minimum 1 of those 2 bearings needs to be a push fit . ie - the outer race needs to be able to be pushed in with your fingers .

They do what they say they'll do and ask for 3 references , Go see those references in person .

Is there any measures to prevent pushing the remaining seals out .

When the kid at the farmer's CO - OP told me about the side walls and they couldn't patch those those new tires because of the material the manufacturer made them of it was a no-brainer . Tube time and that's when i discovered my drill press was a valuable piece of equipment to hold the wheel...

Do those nylon , brass, stainless remove the lead oxide ? A regular steel brush like we have had available for all my life won't touch it . The hard surface must be removed so i use my pocket knife because i can't find my brush that has ben available for about a hundred years . When clean...

There are battery cable / posts brushes available to clean the round connections . Is there a brush available to clean the flat terminals ?

Not with coffee in it and that wouldn't tell a good story . If you've not tried both methods you don't know .

John Deere I rigged mine so the Reverse button stays pushed down.

You take the wife's best big sharpest kitchen knife and place the sharp edge on which side of the gasket you like . Then you use the hammer to tap -tap - tap the back edge of the blade . If necessary work around .

try this Using a sprinkler about 3/ 4 inch tall , so the blades don't contact it , put it under the deck and at full throttle run the blades for a minute or two then move the tractor so another area is cleaned etc.etc. With a little skill ya won't get wet . I find that easier than connecting...

Has a verdict been reached ? If not , is it still within the warranty period ?

JD X350 with 180 hrs. running so bad while mowing i didn't think it would make it back to the shop . Pulled original plugs and replaced with what the Auto supplier referenced the NGK to Champion that I ask for . I;ve never had a engine start so fast when the 1st piston went to compression .

If you've failed to maintain the under side as i do and it's dried , mow wet grass for a couple hours to soak the dry then a water hose with a good multi - pattern nozzle works well to clean the under side . I avoid dirt , sand and rocks . That's the job of the string trimmer .

Hopefully that shop won't be in business very long .

I believe that Bad Boy has a elect. operated fuel valve at the carburetor . Those sometimes click when the key is turned to on and off .

???????????????????????????????????????

Have you determined what the fix is ? Thanks

Thanks for the encouragement for the OP . Everyone could use a little of that , even Seniorcitizen.

You make yourself a L shaped Gauge of 3/4 X 1" pine with a strip of styrofoam attached to one edge . Park on a flat surface to heck , not to be confused with level , and the blade will mark the styrofoam . Put a felt tip pen mark on the first if you would like to check deck level .

Load test the battery

On my end It's much better than it was a week ago .
