If we heat the hub portion that's stuck it can't expand because the outer periphery hasn't expanded . Example : with a 4ft.diameter bull wheel that weighs a few hundred the outer rim is heated with a couple of rose buds and the torches heating down the spokes occasionally . Sometimes they will...

It's common to apply heat in the wrong place when heat is needed to pull 2 items apart .

Of course nothing will be independently labeled as top soil . So what is top soil and how deep does one dig to get to the bottom of top soil ? # 25 pic is a mixture of soil down to 6 " or 8" where grass roots often thrive. If there is a top soil there may be bottom soil but i don't know where...

If jugs can't be viewed i guess the site has more problems than i thought . #25 and #28 show quart jars as sample photos .

If i can determine how to make an ellipse with a 12" length of pvc you won't need a clamp .

So you had to complete the job you paid to have done . But at least you've learned they can be built to open or close to function .

I would encourage anyone thinking they have a soil problem to take a sample from a few areas of the yard and allow their county extension to advise . After the soil structure is determined then follow their guidelines to determine which vitamins the soil may need .

I've taken a few parts apart that seemed stuck forever but i can't find a murray impeller and shaft to look at and possibly determine what you're up against .

A film of differential operation like we viewed in the 1940's . https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/3/3e/Around_the_Corner_%281937%29_24fps_selection.webm/Around_the_Corner_%281937%29_24fps_selection.webm.480p.vp9.webm

If you get the parts determined , i recommend replacing the worm drive as well as the spur gear . A new gear won't correct the worm drive problem but the worm drive problem will cause the gear to fail prematurely .

If both wheels were locked to pull equally it would be difficult to turn a corner .

It all can be taken from 1 location by going down 3-6 inches and mixed . Being qt. jars are inexpensive samples can be in separate jars from multiple locations and the area taken from labeled . Be certain there isn't any organic matter in the sample such as roots , stems etc ..

I begin with a soil structure sample to determine what is really there to work with , then you can begin spending money on chemical analysis

That fellow in the vid has level and flat confused .

For mine it depends on the job it has at the time and the air temperature . Driving to the mail box when it's 90°F and mowing tall crab grass at that same temperature is a world of difference . You can check for air flow across the ahead with your hand . A mouse can build a nest in there over...

If re-cycled oil isn't labeled that , I doubt it would take very much legislation to get it labeled that .

That's the point , but there's none available it won't piss off .

Don't discount JD to quick . I had a dealer i felt the same about . Look for a low hour X350 in the 2,800 to 3,000 price range . There out there if we have the patients and not quick to purchase . This is the time of year to buy . Vary little turning is required if you mow as i do the 1/2...

Nit picking RPM is a excellent way to piss your dealer off .

A common mill bastard file will tell us a lot about a mower blade metal .

When i need to attach items not often used i find a Clove Hitch knot to be a quick solution . A modified Clove Hitch can be tied to quick release . No knots to fight . Unties as a shoe string does .

I've never used any of those products with E-10 but occasionally drive the lawn tractor to the mail box . Those not used occasionally get drained . Pure gas gets old too .

Paint strainers work well to strain gas . Different microns are sometimes available .

A mouse nest is inhibiting air flow across the head . You lapped the valves and didn't clean the compound away good enough ? If that happens they will need rings within 30 min. of operation . Timing can be checked with a helper to crank . With the plug out and grounded and your thumb/finger...

This guy needs to see how a blade leveling gauge is made , among other things i won't mention .

Without any test equipment spark , timing , and compression can be checked with a helper to crank .

The belt in the pic looks way too loose . I believe you have the wrong belt . Why is the sheave in the pic so rusty ?

How would warranty know you ran it at less that full throttle . If the sale wasn't registered you may not get warranty work done .

Is there any way you can pull ( hold pressure on ) the pins while heating the housing they are in to approx 150° ? Don't touch the flame to the pins . We're trying to expand the metal around the pins and not expand the pins .

I have a Arbor Press but I drive the bearings out with a my Roll Pin punch or other blunt steel rod . The zerk , with sealed bearings , is for show and tell to look good to the customer . If there's a tubing spacer between the bearings for the inner races to rest on, don't forget to install it...

The inner races of both bearings and the spacer rotate as an assembly . If both bearings outer race is a press fit and the spacer is NOT the same length as the outer bearings seat distance apart , as i mentioned before the bearings get a tremendous Pre-load . ie , the bearings get their guts...

I suggest measuring the spacer length and the distance between the outer race seats . The ones i've measured the spacer length was around 0.008" longer than the 2 bearing seat distance . Of course when the outer races are pressed until they seat in their space that tends to push the inner...

Or too long . That's why 1 bearing should be a light push fit because when both bearings are press fit and you press on the outer race to seat those the inner races are pushed out or pulled in when the blade nut is tightned .

At least one of the 2 bearings need to be a push fit with your fingers to prevent a horrible side thrust on the race and balls .

If you want to discharge and have a cleaner deck that's easier to clean , remove any baffles and pitch them in a dumpster .

Why all of the rust on the pulleys ? Maybe a pre-owned mower ,

I don't find a date on OP or follow ups . Would it be asking too much to include that with the time ? If that's too much to ask , could the date replace the time .

My experience with champion plugs in a chevy . You may have to walk some . My experience with NGK plugs in a new 7042 cu. in. Waukesha . If you be lucky you replace the plugs with champion before quitting time the 1st day . If you be un-lucky you replace the NGK with Champion at 2:00 A.M.

The gas tank cap vent may be plugged on a engine that old .

With a helper to crank , spark , compression and timing can all be checked close enough to run by removing a plug and grounding it , holding your thumb/finger on the plug hole and watch for spark at exactly the time your thumb/finger is blown from the spark plug hole . If that looks acceptable...

No matter which which procedure you use , if you didn't color code each spring and / or rod connection with a different color paint you missed the very important 1st step . You'll realize that more and more the longer it takes to receive parts that were ordered or getting back to that job if...

If it has a constant speed gov. the throttle will be wide open at cranking speed .

My take on this is , there is going to be dirt there whether it's greased or not . So it comes down to , do you want dry dirt or lubricated dirt . I opt for lubricated and always have . I even re-enjinered the steering on the X350 so i could oil the steering pinion bearing . The pinion and...

Around 3,200 rpm. We'll follow the progress .

A 2X4 two ft. long makes a excellent impacter when it smacks the end of the box wrench that's on the nut .

No current is getting to the solenoid via the small solenoid wire to make it shift and connect the 2 large cables . Run a test wire from the battery positive to that small terminal on he solenoid to determine if it will crank .

Screw a cork in there . Buy an extra for next time .

With a feeler gauge of the correct thickness to adjust the intake valve , insert it between the rocker lever and valve when he piston is coming up on compression stroke . Maybe this is one that the cam bumps the valve stem just before TDC to release just enough compression . The feeler will get...

Rather than a constant speed Gov. it would need a Limiting speed Gov. and hand throttle , that is if you don't want the rod out the side .
