It may not be in the phone settings but is in the camera app settings. My phone has 4:3 (8.0M) down to 1:1 (2.4M) I have the factory installed app but I use another better phone app installed and they both have these adjustments.

If you check most phone and cameras have a picture sizing adjustment if you change it the size will be what ever you set it at. If you do this just remember to set it back if you want the better picture size of other things you save. By doing this you will not need any over software to change...

If you are lucky you may find plastic trash cans that would fit your frame or at least close to it. I have a Craftsman but mine uses heavy plastic tubes but the newer one use cloth type bags.

Back to first question are you sure that the fuel lines are in the proper places? I did this before and drove me nuts but was just a mistake in line placement. The carb for sure will still need adjustments to be correct. That bulb should be filling with fuel for priming.

Just a guess but if you can get the motor numbers off the motor maybe it would give you an idea of a year of manufacture at that point go to Craftsman site and see if you can come up with parts for chippers made around the era that have that motor installed. They may have pictures of units in...

As stated, this seal was new and installed when I did the sump gasket that was only 2 months ago. I have used the tractor 3 times since the second seal installation and doing leaves and looking at the new seal with a mirror it still is looking dry. I have the tractor set up with the snow blower...

This may be a rant but maybe not, a few months ago I found the sump gasket leaking oil on my Craftsman. tractor with 22.5hp Briggs engine so I did this repair myself and all went well I did all the things I felt needed to get this done correctly as I'm a senior with Copd so things don't go easy...

Could you explain the 1" scalp wheel setting? I have mine set to 1/2in off the ground in my normal setting height on flat surface. How and were are you measuring that 1in from? Thanks

No one has really answered the OPs real question of where the spring gets attached or did, I miss something. Seems they got a lot of good help but not an answer about the spring.

I don't have hour meter but here is my thought, you could just remove the power to the meter keep track of your hours manually till it gets to were you need it than hook it back up. Next if you want to take the chance disconnect the power feed from the switch or wherever it comes from and then...

Just putting this out there but wouldn't a metal shut off valve be a better option than those plastic ones? I am also thinking of adding one to my tractor. They are a bit more expensive but may last longer maybe.

PT if you go to Ace Hardware you can get an adaptor to do what you need, I had to get one when I used wash machine flexable metal hose on my garden hose box.

Thank you, guys, for the information and like I said this job is done and right now doing well no more gasket leake at this time. The engine mount bolts, I,m just going to let them go for now and will check them in the furture and if any one of them loosen up I,ll remove them and do the Loctite...

Like I said these bolts did look as you said kind of triangle shaped and tapered at the start of the threads, but being as how I removed them to remove engine do you think they will stay put the second time around? I did use a 1/2in 20v battery impact wrench when I put it back together. As long...

So, I had started a post a while back and didn't get any replays to my questions but after rereading the post I think I know why they were stupid questions. I did go back and edited the post and took out all of the dummy questions. Anyway, so I got this job done and so far, everything is fine...

Sorry no they don't, and I do not have written instructions either. :):):):)

It looks to me that you are here to start a fight instead of getting the help you are asking for. I have been on this site for a while and when I ask questions, I don't start a fight if the answers aren't what I think they should be to me, but I will take the suggestions from people that are...

These may help you out, I made these a many years ago to make it easier for and old man like me. After I made these my height of grass has always been a lot more even. better than trying to get under there with a ruler.

Rivets, Question why do you have to check valve clearances after you replace sump gasket and lower crank seal? If you don't rotate anything what changed to make you have to do this? Just wondering because I am about to undertake a gasket replacement as well on a v twin just waiting for parts to...

No Replies so cancelled question.

tackleberry, Thanks and that is about how I thought the switch would be working as well. ILENGINE, looking at the diagram I see what you mean, for me looking at it I didn't think those two wires at the slice would come together at the switch, but I do get it. So, Thank you for the answer I was...

Mark, Thanks for the reply but I think you missed the point of my question. I have the owner's manual and the wiring diagram. I also have the parts manual but don't need parts. My guestion again is the diagram shows 2 wires to the switch, but my tractor has 3 wires 2 to one spade and 1 from the...

I have a Craftsman 917-272452 lawn tractor, yesterday I was chasing down no power to the headlights so printed the wiring diagram so I could for sure get the checking correct. Found the issue and fixed the lights. Well looking at the diagram and being nosey I seen that my seat switch has 3 black...

You might want to try to put some grease in the lip area instead of oil it will help hold that spring in place we used to have that problem with automobile engines back when I was still turning wrenches and it always helped. Another thing I did was turn the seal and push it down at the same time...

Nothing for your mower problem but you can correct the picture problem yourself, just downsize your photos before trying to post them and they will work fine. I have the same problem because I always take digital photos at the best sizes and must downsize for almost all the sites I post on. Good...

Just getting back to my original testing, I did have time to finish up my testing as many recommended and found that my unit is putting out 6.6 amps after it was running for a while so according to the specs in the manual that Rivets put me on to, I should be good to go. Thanks again to all the...

Before you start spending more money on a longer belt take the time to measure your old belt than check the new belt and see if it is correct or not. Many postings on this site about belts new from different company's that are not correct even thu they are marked with correct length. If you are...

This was and is a socket in the end and the shaft is flat where the ball goes in, the ball pulled out of the socket as yours did, so I made that collar to go over the shaft to hold the ball into the shaft. The collar has to be tight on the shaft to hold it and the ball in the socket. If you look...

Heres how I did this repair on my Craftsman I did get a new shaft but now have this for a spare. I also on the new shaft drilled the ends and put in grease fittings so they can now be greased as needed.

If you Google Titanium 420 chain saw alot of info does come up. I just tried it and found alot of info including parts look up.

Rivets, been doing some shed clean up but took a brake to check out your post, Man thank you for this Manual I for sure am keeping it for future use. I just flipped thru a few pages, and you bet it will be a lot of help and I'll be reading some of that testing info for sure. Again Thanks Just...

I have the Craftsman assy. listing and if your unit is the 917-27077 the bagger assy. is 917-24891 this bagger fits many tractor numbers so should be easy to find if the people still have a number for the bagger. Also if you google the number you might find all the parts that come with the kit...

Rivets, No problem I didn't list all the numbers when I posted because I didn't think the help from you people would send me down the charging system check because of the dead battery cell I have all the numbers to post if needed but just didn't do it for this post Sorry. Bert, I guess I'm not...

I do not have the Kohler engine it is a Briggs 21.5 hp I do have the service manual for my engine.

Bert, The meter I own has AC and DC volt scales so when I checked the 2 wire connector from the alternator I was in AC and got the 28.6 AC volts. And than I back probed the red single connector from the regulator to battery and got the 16.2 but it went to 14.8 after just a few minutes I didn't...

Even thou the battery did have that dead cell after reading all the replys thought it would be a good idea to check the charging system just in case something was amiss being that the tractor is 21 years old. These are the results of the testing. Battery voltage at start of test 12.6...

OK so I have a 2002 Craftsman LTZ1000 tractor that I purchased new and has been a good unit for me so I am pleased with it. So heres my rant, I have an auto repair (and owner) backround in 2016 the battery gave up the ghost so I went to Auto Zone and purchased their Gold Duralast U1-3 battery, 6...

Hope this can help you, I have an LTX1000 2002 and the main drive belt is a Craftsman 130801 belt it is 1/2 x 95in. As always mentioned here be sure to use the proper length belt ( I also know this from past experience) Its hell to get the belt replaced on the drive put things back together and...

Why not just make a brass cap that fits over a regular steel punch, you'll get something that will not bend but will protect what ever you are tapping on. If you need something small just use a smaloler punch to start with and the cap to fit the 3/8 you are looking for.

I'm back with another up date. First off sgkent I get where you are coming from but if you check the first post, I put in new carb,all base gaskets all 3 fuel lines filter, breather air filter air filter cover because mine was missing. At this point it is up and running pretty well after (my...

Heres an update, not really fully fixed yet. So I ran this thing for maybe 10mins or so and it started stalling than remembering a post on net by someone that if the tank isn't venting can cause this so I took the small vent apart nd removed the rubber one way valve no more stalling or rich...

StarTech I was just reading some articles on oil mixing and as I was reading, I was thinking the same possible thing as I do not know when or how long ago this Mantis was used or how it got put away. I am just stumped as to how I am getting the oil spitting but not alot of excess smoking but who...

Sorry life got in the way so I didn't reply right away, yes the fuel is fresh as it was just mixed the beginning of summer for other 2 cycles but I did use the 40-1 mix in the Mantis but you are correct it is 50-1. Do you think that could be the issue? Being has how the chain saws and hedge...

Hi all, so I purchased this Mantis as a no run unit but had faith that I could put it back to working condition. Over winter I did a clean up and ordered a few replacement covers etc. Also the carb looked pretty bad, dirty primer bulb cracked and overall it didn't look like it had been running...

Seen your reply enigma-2 and was wondering how you corrected the tractor from leaning because you mounted the tractor from that side? I have a Craftsman that I have been having such a problem so just how did you straighten it out to sit correctly? Thanks

I have an older LTX1000 but still applies, first off if you have the manual or you need to get one do that first. Go to the part for adjusting the deck height and believe me do it just as they want you to and don't leave out anything I know this from experience, also I made up measure sticks for...

If you can find an old school auto machanic they may still have the puller for those rings. I had the puller because back than we rebuilt starters and replaced many of the drive gears. The puller served as the remover and the installer all in one.

You came to the right place for help as the people here seem to always are willing to help. As to what your problems are they all seem to be BELT issues. Won't disengage long belt, slips in tall grass stretched, won't engage to long. I'm no expert at this stuff just thinking of the things I have...

Just a diyer myself but have an automotive repair background, maybe you should be checking the switch battery feed wire, if you leave the switch out of the picture and the starter works by feeding 12volts to the solenoid must be something with the switch or the main feed to that switch, or that...

If it were me, I'd be looking for a small pickup and with luck it may be 4-wheel drive for winter. At that point you can find a used single place trailer for the lawn tractors as you are now doing more repairs means you will get into snow blower repairs as well and the truck will be better in...
