    Toro zero turn v-twin won't start

    Check the safety switches. Also, the reverse switch. Toro uses pretty crappy switches on those residential zero turns. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t.

    Kawaaski FR651V - FX air box conversion

    You are correct. The bracket that comes with the kit mounts to the plastic engine shroud. The two screws that hold the filter door on are reused for the mounting bracket. The setup looks kind of flimsy to me.

    The Truth Behind Why Shops WON'T Work On Your Stuff

    That’s pretty much how I did it. I angle cut the ends of the line. I then pushed enough through and grabbed it with the hemostats. It went pretty smoothly.

    The Truth Behind Why Shops WON'T Work On Your Stuff

    You saw what I put into my personal saw. Above ☝ The darned thing runs like a brand new saw. I wasn’t going to give up on it yet. I just didn’t want to fork out $350+ on a new saw.

    The Truth Behind Why Shops WON'T Work On Your Stuff

    It’s not too bad if you have a couple of pair of hemostats or long bodied needle nose pliers.

    The Truth Behind Why Shops WON'T Work On Your Stuff

    Yes, the cheap residential consumer brands are pretty much throw away products. Echo is my personal choice. I do have an old Poulan Pro 220 (Husqvarna) chainsaw. I recently put new fuel lines, fuel filter, air filter, primer bulb, and carburetor mounting gasket on it. I was winding up my my...

    Echo trimmer string always running back into head

    I’m still using the speed head that came with my SRM225. The secret to it’s longevity is not bumping it on concrete or asphalt surfaces. It’s getting close to replacement time.

    Echo was working but suddenly no more

    It could be several things. First of all, we don’t even know what Echo model and serial number you have. We don’t even know how old it is. There is fuel mixture is all over the top of the engine. There doesn’t look like very much maintenance has been done to it. The fuel lines, fuel filter, fuel...

    321D Weird deck noise

    What @mechanic mark said. ☝️ Oscillating? Something that’s spinning is making the noise. You are going to need the deck belt off and spin all of the pulleys and idlers. Check the play in the spindles. Also, check your belt. There could be chunks of rubber missing from the belt.

    Oil Filter for John Deere LA135

    The John Deere filter that you referenced is the short Briggs and Stratton oil filter. The John Deere filter crosses to a FRAM PH8170 or a WIX 57035. The Motorcraft FL-910s is a longer application. Other longer filters are WIX 51348, FRAM XX3614, and etc. Better? That’s subjective. It only gives...

    Use a bigger nail or a cheap Arnold balancer. 😜 It was balanced in the horizontal position. That’s good enough.

    SRM 225 won't rev up.

    I have the same trimmer. It’s older than yours. It still has the original carburetor. The only things that I’ve done to it were to change the primer bulb, the fuel lines and their filters, the fuel tank grommet, air filter, and the two gaskets on both sides of the intake manifold block. I...

    Either one. They are both residential engines on a residential mower. Follow the owners manual for the service intervals.

    Long Lasting Blades

    I like them. I have a couple of sets of Rotary blades for my Gravely. They are darn good blades. They will give you a much cleaner cut than your G6 blades. They are a direct replacement for the SCAG OEM blades. I can guarantee you that they will outlast Sunbelt XHT blades. You have to remember...

    Setting up the anti scalping wheels on an ZT HD44

    Being it’s a Gravely, there should be two sets of holes. Set the bolts in the top holes for cutting 3” and lower. Set the bolts in the bottom holes for cutting above 3”.

    New Toro Timecutter 75755 with Toro engine.

    I ran SAE30 HD in mine. Oil filter is FRAM TG4967 or STP S4967. Don’t try to fit a WIX or NAPA Gold oil filter. They will not work.

    ZT HD44 mower

    If you want good service out of a battery, keep it on a Battery Tender or similar charger. Keep the terminals free of corrosion and topped up with distilled water.

    ZT HD44 mower

    Clearance is something that has to be considered. The length of your battery wires is another thing to consider. Cold cranking amps should be the same or higher than the OE battery. Fit is critical in your situation. You don’t need the seat shorting out the battery.

    ZT HD44 mower

    Some Gravely mowers use a different battery design than the U1. If your mower is one of those, a U1 might not work. The terminal wires could be too short and there could be clearance problems, using a U1. Measure the dimensions of your old battery and compare to a U1.

    How do you have the deck set? Level all around? Rear slightly higher than the front? Something isn’t right with your setup. I will tell you that Rotary brand 6083 will perform better on your mower. However your deck needs to be setup properly. Your engine RPMs need to be set exactly as the...

    Kawaaski FR651V - FX air box conversion

    For those not willing to fork out the money for the conversion, add a foam pre-filter to the standard paper element and clean the pre-filter regularly. Get a new paper element and pre-filter every 100 hours. Using a bagging system is going to generate more dust.

    Hydro-Gear 2800 Service Question .. Getting mixed info

    You want a slight trickle from the inside inspection/fill port. In other words, level with the bottom of the hole.

    Hydro-Gear 2800 Service Question .. Getting mixed info

    Okay. Check the level when cold. If there is a slight trickle of oil from the check plug hole, you are good. I do know that the ZT3100s with expansion tanks take about 73oz. per side. That is a little shy of 5 quarts total.

    The service manual doesn’t specify either way. I don’t think it matters. Once you remove the filters, the oil spills out easily.
