You haven't said whether or not there is a mulching kit installed on the mower deck. The blades must be installed with the cutting edge towards the ground and the wings mounted towards the top of the deck.

Non-OEM fuel pumps are hit and miss.

A mower should discharge something before the deck gets packed. You are saying that the mower does not discharge AT ALL. The only way that can happen is a plugged discharge chute or you are running a mulching kit. If you are running a mulching kit, get rid of that monstrosity. Install high lift...

He hasn't been back. All we know is the supposed mower is a "cheap Bad Boy zero turn with 42" cut and Kohler engine."

My first thought is for you to provide the model number and serial number.

@StarTech My Gravely Pro Turn 260 isn't pleasant to work on either. I have to remove the entire rear bumper assembly just to adjust the valves or do any carburetor work. If and when it needs replacement, I will do my best to find something easier to work on. The commercial Hustlers look to have...

You could probably find some ATV tires that would fit.

We would know a lot more about this particular mower if the model number and serial numbers were provided. The red light on the control panel may also double as the code blinking indicator. This video is for a Kohler EFI Scag. It will be the same with your Cub Cadet.

The pulse line could have a crack or hole in it.

My guess is that the deck isn't leveled properly. You are probably taking off too much grass in one pass. Cutting wet grass doesn't help. Have the dealer check the engine RPMs. They should be 3,600 RPMs at wide open throttle with no load. That means without the PTO engaged. Are you cutting at...

They aren't very robust transmissions.They are between $140 and $160, depending on where you buy them.

Find a repair shop that uses Kohler diagnostic software. Evidently, the shop that you used doesn't have it. The joys of owning a fuel injected engine.

You can get the parts at a hardware store or auto parts store. You will need a straight piece of pipe threaded 3/8 NPT on both ends. You can then add a 3/8 NPT ball valve. In place of the ball valve you can use a 90 elbow 3/8 NPT female on both ends with a 3/8 NPT male pipe plug. You remove the...

A piece of dowel rod.

FRAM and Champion Laboratories are done, bankrupt, kaput. https://www.mdm.com/news/top-distributor-sectors/automotive/first-brands-to-wind-down-after-judge-rejects-bankruptcy-plan/

Dusting off the way back machine.

A perfect place for a tapped out gasket.

I remember when form-a-gasket was a thing. Some of you know about gasket paper sheets and how to tap out a gasket.

100% correct. The pulse hose could have a hole or crack in it. It could also not be fully seated in the valve cover.

Have you checked the pulse line? It's the small line that is on the bottom of the fuel pump and plugs into the Valve cover. If the pulse line is in good shape, move on the the fuel line in the tank and fuel tank. There will be a grommet on the tank where the fuel line enters. You will need a new...

Google Stihl starting issues in hot weather.

I don't think the parts will change right away. I would not be surprised to see Yamar branded Gravely mowers showing up at Yanmar tractor dealerships.

😮 Bad Boy has come a long way. I hope this doesn't mean the end for Hustler.

Who knows what the end result will actually look like. My local Gravely dealer has been top notch over the years. The Potter family business goes back a long way. They began business back in the 1960s as a Harley Davidson and Club Car business. They later took on Gravely and Ariens. In my area...

Is this an aftermarket carburetor?

Also, check the wiring to the fuel solenoid. A chaffed wire or poor connection should be looked for.

I have an old 16" Poulan Pro saw. It's not the green color, it's the school bus yellow and black. I've always run 40:1 mix in it. It's been a great little saw. I've only had to replace a coil, primer bulb, fuel lines. Of course, the usual plugs and air filters. I've never loaned it out and I...

💀 Just to remind those who own any 2 stroke equipment. Don't loan out your equipment. Follow the fuel mix recommendation. That particular saw used 40:1 or 32:1 mix. Keep your mix separate from your non-mix gas.

You should have bought a 36" mower.

Yeah, 6 acres and hills make a subcompact 25 hp tractor something to consider. Add a 72" finish mower and front bucket.

If you already have other battery powered tools, a battery model may work for you. I have DeWalt 20V Max and Milwaukee 18V battery hand tools. I could go to a battery powered blower if I wanted. A mower can help you a bunch with the leaves. I have three pecan trees and I never use a blower...

I would get a good hand held 2 stroke blower. It's easier to store and easier to operate. I have used the Stihl hand held before. I didn't find the vibrations uncomfortable. Echo, Husqvarna, Stihl, or Red Max are the ones to look at. Buy from a dealer. Compare the specifications among the...

Before ordering parts, confirm exactly which PP3314 that you have. There is the type 1, type 2, WS, and there may be another couple. Scored pistons can be caused by running with a dirty air filter or improper fuel mix.

If anyone out there has a Kohler 7000 series, these kits are the way to go.

Doing the scheduled valve adjustment also gives you a chance to check for trash in the cooling fins and oil leaks. I like the composite valve covers on my Kohler. The valve covers use o-ring style gaskets that are recessed into to covers. Just change out the o-ring gasket at each valve...

I think Kawasaki recommends valve adjustments every 300 hours for the FR691V. Kohler recommends every 400 hours for my ZT740. I did my 400 hour valve adjustment last week. All four were tight. Valve adjustments are not something to let slide.

Low idle speed is 1,750 rpm.

If you are cutting the grass, you need to cut at wide open throttle ( maximum RPMs).

Maximum RPMs 3,000

If it's leaving "stringers", you deck isn't leveled properly, your blades are dull, or your maximum RPMs are too low. Changing the deck size isn't going to correct your problem. In fact, it could make it worse.

I ran into oil filter problems with a Toro/Loncin 708cc engine. The filter was a WIX. I looked at Predator's (Loncin) advise about oil filters. They recommended STP S4967 or FRAM 4967 as acceptable aftermarket applications. I observed the difference between the STP, FRAM, and WIX filters. The...

Yeah, the offset is critical too. I suppose that you are stuck with OEM rims.

I put an Echo Speed Feed 400 head on my FS 56. It's a better option than the Stihl bump feed head.

I assume that conventional mower means a tractor style rider. What did you get?

There are probably some aftermarket options for the wheels. Wheel diameter, wheel rim width, and bolt pattern will be needed.

Will this do? https://cutlers.com/products/2070-5?srsltid=AfmBOooFXGc9Q-HaH8RjBemI3gbrNtWbEFC69QJVLcbJrM7nKscRWlzy_TY

Could you please supply your Walker model number and serial number?

Same here. I replaced a worn out 10 year old SRM225 with a Stihl FS56. I have exactly the same complaints about the ergonomics and overall balance of the machine. Now this is my personal opinion. Head to head, the Echo SRM225 is better than the Stihl FS56.
