We can understand why they're probably not available . That would be about like a car dealer salesman attempting to sell my wife a 3 on the tree or a 4 on the floor . :rolleyes:

A vicious circle . What's my password , create new password , log in , you're already logged in , join . ROTF :D

Several years back i found a site that dated the year of any Craftsman power tool and the name of the manufacturer but i'm un-able to locate that information now . Thought you knowledgeable guys would possibly be able to help . My eye sight isn't nearly as good as you younger whipper snappers ...

Possibly the closest we could get is one with the variable 7 speed shift like MTD made and it seems like maybe Troybuilt adopted that system or maybe MTD built Troybuilt . Or i have a barn find Murray from back in the 80's that two 20's will buy .

If your adapter is like the one in reply #6 , loose just a tiny isn't what's causing the leak . That's not how O rings work . Solve the problem yourself with a Viton O ring .

If your lawn is a cultivar that goes dormant in winter months , round-up the lawn for any early spring weeds before the dormancy fades into the sunset . After the lawn greens there are several products on the market for those applications .

Buy a Viton O ring . If the manufacturer didn't chamfer the edge of the hole in the pan to prevent damage when the O ring is inserted , at least knock the sharp edge off with a half round file and / or emery tape .

OH BOY , you catch on fast .

With a maybe 0.002" feeler gauge between the rocker lever and valve stem and on compression stroke you can tell if there is an ACR bump and at what time in the stroke .

You people are causing yourselves a wagon full of un-necessary problems with those impacts . Oil the threads , tighten the nuts with a box wrench about 12" long until they feel tight and go mow . Those manufacturers are specifying those ridiculous torque values because of liability .

Have anyone determined you're being taken for a ride on this post ?

i'd like to see a small application of anti-seize smeared around the brake rotor spline too . i've had to make a puller to remove those .

The only reason the axle needs grease is to prevent rust . Your mower has never had the rack and pinion gears teeth greased and the pinion gear bearing has never been oiled . Your manual will never mention that . John Deere would rather you bring it to them for that repair for 3-4 hundred bucks .

These folks may possibly have a HI- Lift blade that fits your toro. https://www.ereplacementparts.com/hilift-blade-p-1583213.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAr5iQBhCsARIsAPcwROND8t7mhdl_t8B-LP1L54zqUMZ6P4lRvFwl7LLTgOvupaJ_kS6fCZAaAmB1EALw_wcB

In an attempt to impress some unknowing customer is why grease fittings are installed to grease bearings that were not meant to be greased .

When a ring breaks removing I determine it wasn't of much value anyway and time to replace it. Lowe's shows brass sheet material that can be made into a entering sleeve . In the natural gas compression world it would be called a horse cock to protect pressure and wiper packing while installing...

This is how poor people lift a lawn tractor . They use the engine power of the 2 pieces of equipment involved . A truck tail gate and a pair of saw horses will do it . If I need parts, just roll it back into the truck and take it along . If there is a question on what parts needed i have...

Ever been put on hold this long ? I know the feeling .

Murrays were prone to brake sticking . I put a bug in a cousin's ear about a Murray garden tractor he was wanting to bid on at auction. It had to be dragged from a shed to sell and the quick verbal diagnosis was " the transmission is locked up " . A lawn tractor that would normally sell for...

If the belts and other mechanical s are equal, the ability to discharge the cuttings would be suspect.

This is the schematic for a Murray tractor rider from around 1988. Maybe it's close enough to help or it may be the exact . I'd like to see you kill it with the electric system rather than the choke.

Thanks At first was only going to ignore 1 but by the time I finished reading suggestions I had reason to ignore the second.

Does this site have an ignore to click on ? If so could someone direct me to the spot to click on ?

It appears I've been corrected again. How much I can take I'm not certain so I'll ask my psychiatrist.

Carlisle usually has about as good of products as anyone else. A leak on the side of the tire is usually suspect of a tire cut and will pinch a tube by tire flex until it fails no matter the brand. Examine it carefully inside because it may need a Boot.

I would suspect any water in the bottom of a gas tank with pure gas would be subject to freezing and prevent flow, in some instances, but possibly not with 10 % ethanol ?

Have you disconnected the kill switch to determine if it may be faulty?

Have you ever done a water test on a gas container ? We've read that water story ever since alcohol was part of our gasoline history and some of a lesser story before alcohol.

For 15 years you've been doing everything correct; please don't keep secrets like that from us.

Determining warranty -- without the technician's words being written in that same legal language the manufacturer uses you won't have a leg to stand on when push comes to shove determining waranty .

Being we've wandered way off topic from BOLTS to VOLTS, what volts did the telephone we had generate? We could answer it or take it fishing.

I abandoned lawn tractor battery bolts about 20 years ago. Heavy duty C-Clamps are convenient, quick and provide 2 handles to carry the battery when necessary.

Including the water and crud in the bottom of the gas container. That's a really smart computer. I'll take mine to a disposal.

If old gas isn't desirable for a $50.00 mower why would I want to dispose of it by pouring it in a $50,000 dollar pickup truck.

One problem is Auto Zone. In the future deal with automotive parts outlet that has load testing equipment. An example: NAPA

Tender Loin, Back Strap, Roasts and ground meat netted 45 lbs.

The caliper pins must be free to move and you can make your brake pads from old rivited automotive pads from a brake shop. Cut cut to size with your hack saw.

Did biller get his Murray repaired to his satisfaction?

Question for Deer hunters. Beef processors recommend hanging beef for 10 days at a temperature between 35°F - 38°F to allow rigermortus to do its work. How long do you allow your deer to hang?

I've purchased bearings from a auto supply but returned for the same reason. They took them down to a bearing supply to replace those with the correct measurement. 60 mile round trips aren't much fun to return 2 bearings. More invested in gasoline and time than the bearings cost. If ordered on...

The grit of a stone has nothing to do with whether a stone is neglected and abused. https://www.forturetools.com/how-to-read-a-grinding-wheels-specification/

I suspect the number of .22s in the hands of humans verses all other calibers may be significant in the number.

$49.99 at harbor freight. Bench grinder heat. I'll bet 1/2 my SS Check of 100 bench grinders 99 need the stones dressed and cleaned.

12 year old grandsons first hunt. Bags 10 point shortly after sun up opening day using grandpa's Mod. 700 .243. EDIT: then comes the lesson of gutting and skinning for a shoulder mount. Tomorrow it'll be meat cutting.

I read on this forum a 1" belt sander works well to sharpen a mower blade. I've always wanted one so maybe I'll buy myself a belt sander for an early Christmas. I've been sharpening knives of all kinds and shapes for 75 years with this 3rd generation Al oxide stone and surely I deserve a belt...

About a minute or 2 with a Makita angle grinder free hand, equipped with a Makita disc while in a comfortable chair and the blade across my lap.

Delete pops up after 31 minutes. Shrug

Edit finally appeared there after 29 minutes.

Where does a person find EDIT?

Apologies for failing to see this when reading your initial post. In the future and for others, this battery was 5 years old and that should have been my clue. Step 1 would be take the battery to a automotive retailer and have it -- LOAD TESTED -- if you don't have the means to do so. I had...
