Hi All, I was at Lowes and glanced at the Craftsman T2400 series machines and noticed this battery installed in them all. It's a tiny 135 CCA battery. Much smaller than the U1 size. Everything I have worked on uses a 230-330 amp battery. Will this baby spin up an older 17-20 HP single cyl...

Hello All, I picked up a Scotts Sabre by Deere 1752 with a Kohler Command 17.5hp single on it. Numbers are in the attachments. The governor went bad on the previous owner and he had it disabled by rotating the governor shaft CW and adjusting the throttle plate assembly. I replaced the broken...

Hi All, what would be the symptom of a bad breather valve on a Briggs Single Cyl 14-20hp size? I have a a 17hp 31C707 0230 that runs great until a drag is put onit either PTO or trans. Then it bogs down and pushes black smoke as if it running very rich. I can get it to recover by lowering...

Hi All, What would cause a Kohler 25hp engine to bend two push rods? I am considering buying a used mower with this issue. Don't know if in one cylinder or both.

Hello all, I have a briggs twin 19hp 2006 vintage. It has the single carb with the 3 screw fuel pump attached to the carb. It does not function and I don't see a rebuild kit on ebay. I have a pump off a Kohler that is new. Is it possible to install it on the Briggs using its pulse line...

I have questions regarding the cleaning of carbs. I disassemble them then soak in a water\Purple Power solution using a ultrasonic cleaner. Then I blow it out with air, spray with cleaner, use small wires in passages, clean with cleaner and finally shoot with air. This works with carbs that...

Ok Gents, what's my problem (the engine's problem). Kohler SV590 19 hp single, new to me with carb off. I installed the carb and it ran great as I did other repairs on the mower for a month, or so. It started to surge, one day, so I replaced the carb gaskets, filter, fuel line to tank and...

I have a Husqvarna YTH2454 around a 2008 model. As far as I can determine, it has a Tuff Torq K46 hyro trans in it. It looses drive speed and power as it heats up. I have replaced a worn drive belt and a locked idler. Used a Husqvarna Kevlar belt. Trans is clean and fan in good shape. Engine...

I am a novice back yard mechanic working on small engines for a while. I have never been able to figure this one out. I understand how timing is related to the magnet and coil. and how if the flywheel moves it could throw it out. What I don't understand is how the blade holder shifting...

Using a Troy-Bilt 13AN77TG766 as an example, is there any way of adjusting the height of the deck? These are machines with a manual PTO and the height adjustment arm on the fender. The numbers on the fender show from 1-5. After doing the deck level and front\back adjustments, the blade tips...

Hello All, I have a 2007 MTD\Troy-Bilt that the deck is causing me nightmares. The deck will vibrate heavily when the blades are first turned on or when under heavy load. When the manual PTO is engaged, it vibrates then smooths out. I have replaced blades, belt and spindle shafts. Blades are...

Hi Everyone, will the head assembly from a Kohler SV470-620 22hp fit a SV470-620 19hp? Are the valves and the bore the same. I have a TB Super Bronco 13BX60TG766 that threw a rod and I need the head, carb and starter from it to make a Cub Cadet 13AX11CH056 motor complete. Thanks for the help.

Hello Everyone, I obtained a mower with a Kohler SV590 19hp single on it. I'm pretty sure the connecting rod is broke, as the engine spins free and the piston does not move. I can push it in with a dowel. My question is, what are the chances I can install a piston and rod from another SV590...

Hi Ya'll, I have a Briggs Intek Single 18hp on a Troy-Bilt rider. Very generic. I have watched many videos on doing the valve adjust. One will have you set the lash by setting the engine at a point where one valve is open and the other closed, and another has you going to 1\4" past TDC and...

I have a Kohler 19hp Courage single on a mower with a powered pto. I have a Briggs 17hp Intek single that was a manual pto. Can I swap the 10 amp magneto fron the Kohler and put it on the Briggs?

Got this garage find and engine was free when parked a year ago. Craftsman DVT4000 lawn tractor. Was seized when I got it. Small amount of Mystery Oil in cylinder over night freed it. Now it turns very hard (breaker bar on shaft bolt). Starter will not rotate it. Plug is out and belts are...

I'm replacing the plastic carb that is the no choke model. Supplied with the carb is 1\8" id tubing that I'm guessing hooks to the small white barbed fitting on the side of the carb. What is that fitting for and where, if anywhere, does it connect. The primer bulb feeds the front of the carb...

I have about a Toro Sw4200 steering wheel zero turn that's about 5+ years old. It is steadily becoming harder to turn, moving or not. Front wheel spindles and wheels hubs have been disassembled and greased. Tire pressure is correct. Also, the mower will continue to slide straight, sometimes...
