never heard of that before, but it's worth a try....thanks!

well, i removed the heads and replaced valve seals and cleaned any carbon off the valves. one side was so bad the exhaust valve wasn't even seating. Once i put it all together i checked the compression....both sides were at about 50psi...lol...i squirted a little oil in and they went up over...

you're probably 100% right. It was bought brand new anyways and this is the first time i had to do anything to it. but.....i looked closely at the parts, and i'm ashamed to say the O ring part i was talking about was just the piece of the inside of the seal for the intake valve. Somehow it came...

that makes sense, i guess. So, the guides i've been looking at (without the rubber O ring) should be the correct ones. As for the piston movement, you're right. I read that when it's at the top of the cylinder it will move back and forth slightly. thanks for the feed back!! I really appreciate...

ok, but my question is the exhaust guide I removed had a rubber insert in it, and all the ones I have found don't seem to have that. I understand what you're saying, but, was this a design change for that motor? I even emailed B&S and asked, but they were of no help. The intake seal was easy to...

I pulled the left side head off. it was loaded with thick carbon and the exhaust valve appeared to not be seating fully. I did a compression test on the opposite cylinder and my gage showed a steady 120 psi and held it there. so, i cleaned the head of all carbon and i want to replace the valve...

so.....bermuda grass....zoysia....or kentucky blue?

27hp Twin B&S #446777 2441 i read some posts in here about engines smoking on a hill, and mine was doing that...so i thought. The suggestions given were that thee head gaskets were probably bad. So, I began the %$#@%$@# of removing one of them, and thee head gasket was great. However, i brought...

ha....moving down here from NYS was like getting out of prison and being FREE!! yea, we love it here and i agree, the people are friendly, unlike NYS. Also, in the last 4 years, we just got the most snow ever here...4" lol. Back in NYS that would be nothing. Anyway, i've saved all the ideas...

thanks for all the suggestions! i'll start in the early spring with a soil test (if they have a place around here)

damn...nice set up!!! you gave me ideas for my zero turn.

grounds are used as part of the safety features on riders...if this is a rider. When the key is urned ON, it will show grounds, but when you begin to start it, the grounds go OFF until a safety switch grounds the machine out. ( hope i explained the right) You can test this by putting a meter to...

gees....you're right....pricey grass seed.

I'm about in the middle south of Kentucky...Monticello. We tried that Kentucky 31 which seemed ok, but in many areas, it just wouldn't grow.

i guess i'll get it analyzed at a local co-op. the True Green guy claimed to know what it needed, but that didn't pan out too well either. Strange because our soil is hard red/yellow clay. I'm in the Monticello KY area, so, not that far from Tennessee.

no, but i will. One of the last (of many) fertilizers i tried was called Nutri-20. didn't do squat except help weeds grow, especially crabgrass.

We live in south Kentucky, we moved here from Rochester in NYS. Back up north we had a fabulous lawn, but, down here we have tried just about every grass seed on the market (including zoysia pods) but nothing actually grows, and if it does, it looks like crap. We even tried True Green (mistake)...

2020 Ram Limited Night Edition...excellent truck. never had an issue with it.

unfortunately, there's been a lot of kids seriously injured or killed because they were behind a mower backing up. i know it's a PITA, but i understand why it's there. my commercial zero turn does cut in reverse, but, mowers used for normal use has that "no cutting in reverse" feature. I know...

MY 1980-ish Case 210 sometimes pops out of second gear. Could the detent ball and spring be worn? There's no mower deck on it, i just use it to haul stuff around the yard or to move the trailer.

it MIGHT have a fuse inside, or the fan motor capacitor. I recently took apart a Honeywell dehumidifier and I had to locate those locking tabs to remove the cover. I used a screwdriver to release the tabs once i found them. Once opened, you can tell if a capacitor is blown by a bulge on top or...

Harbor Freight.....$229. it's a 173cc (5.5hp) almost the same. just check shaft size

nice set up.

55 gallons? what psi do you operate that at?

so, we mulch all summer, then once a year de-thatch the lawn, removing all the dead mulch we put down all summer?

I have a 15 gallon atv sprayer that i use on the yards for various chemicals. It's actually convenient to use, especially with the wand. Any one else use this type of sprayer?

be sure to remove the carb and controls, any electrical parts, starter and any other parts you might use later. I also remove bolts from the motors so i have spare metric ones just in case. lol

i'll have to keep that in mind if or when mine goes.

while at the CC dealer I asked about the mulch kit. The dealer showed me there is one for my Pro Z mower, but...the kit requires drilling holes in the deck to install special baffles. She told me most people don't want to bother drilling all those holes so they don't install it. i might give...

I had a Bunton ZT with a nice Kohler engine. Same issue, but it was the upper case "seal". Unfortunately there isn't s seal there, it's just machined. Had to scrap the engine

can a mod delete this for me? i accidentally posted twice

i'll try not to get political here, but, the E15 was pushed by one of the representatives from the mid-west. Of course this is corn country. Apparently he got it passed with the promise of cleaner air, etc. I buy non ethanol gas. true, it's hard to find and it costs more, but, well worth it...

I was hoping to find a mulch kit for this, but, it looks like CC doesn't make one for this commercial model. :-( Which is too bad, I was hoping to put a mulch kit on and keep from blowing grass all over. Then, i was looking for a striping kit....ha ha...only one that fits is $400. I guess...

try unplugging any thing, PTO, lights, etc, one at a time and check fuse each time

i owned a Bunton, damn good mower and it did a great job. Problem was the Kawasaki engine top seal began leaking profusely and it's not replaceable. So, i sold it for $500. I believe Bob-Cat carries parts...i think. If not it's Jacobsen Textron. I really liked that thing. It was a bear to mow with.

try it out and see how it is.

check out youtube. several videos on making your mower quiet. some not bad, others are questionable.

same with cars maybe?

problem solved...bought a new one

So i emailed them and asked the question why two listings. The guy told me there is only one listing for that carb 791230. But, one listing the the MSRP at 187 and the other listing is their price at 137. cool....got that straightened out. But they still show both pictures of that carb, which...

code is: 030425YG00077 maybe i should send it to you....:-0 i use this mower for trimming because i have mulch kit on it so it doesn't blow grass on mulch bed areas. I use my 60" cub cadet for everything else. That thing blows grass like 6 feet out! I just searched the Briggs web site. They...

20 years ago, bought a Poulan Pro riding mower, made by Electrolux. (PDGT26H48) It has a 26HP briggs V Twin.engine (446777-0244) I need to replace the carb on it. Briggs sells a carb for $135, but reading the reviews on amazon, many claim it's just an aftermarket carb (791230) Searching for a...

usually, i do go the the shop where i bought it from, but i'm not driving 40 miles to get a couple nuts when i can have them sent to my house. My truck is a Hemi, and it uses quite a bit of gas, so, shopping on line for them was cheaper than driving that distance. Besides, if i walk into the...

how do you guys adjust the valve lash? I've watched a few videos, and some guys go from TDC -1/4 inch, and i've watched others just move the flywheel until both valves are closed. is backing off TDC 1/4" the correct way? I have a 26hp briggs i'm going to adjust the valves and i just waant to...

MTD 756-0241B ? https://www.partstree.com/parts/mtd-756-0241b might not be the exact part, you have to know the pulley diameter and the shaft diameter

i found less expensive ones, but, by the time they charged for shipping, they got fairly expensive. In fact, someone on amazon was charging $15 for one...LOL I went to the CC web site instead and ordered from them.

VICTORY...got them all off. Thanks for all the help, guys. i did order new ones...damn things aren't cheap. They must use gold when forging them.

my nut splitters are coming tomorrow, but befor i open them, i'll try your idea with the dremel. That way i can send them back if it works and save a few bucks. :)
