So far haven't found where the twist actually is - assume chassis. Thoughts & suggestions on a fix...

    To Cool, Or Not To Cool

    Nice topic for the Brains Trust. I am about to repower a Ferris zero turn, with a brand new B&S, 2500, 724 cc, 25 hp engine. The new engine comes with an oil cooler. The old, same engine, detuned to 23 hp, did not have this feature. This has got me thinking about my Hustler Super Z, zero...

    Hi, My terrific old Toro Wheel Horse 212-H, Model 3212 OE 03 (Fitted with Eaton 751 transaxle) has recently developed a worrying problem - its transport (top) speed has suddenly reduced to about the speed that I would cut the lawn at - no faster. Forward & reverse still work, with no...
