    Looking for advice re: purchasing a reliable lawn tractor

    I wanted a Ryobi EV riding mower until I read about so many battery issues they are having. My son in-law has a Ryobi push mower. It's weak & won't cut his 1/2 acre even with an extra battery(s). Takes him 2 after work, afternoons to cut his small lawn. I have/had many other types of Ryobi...

    Looking for advice re: purchasing a reliable lawn tractor

    I have 9 hours on my Craftsman T2200 with Kohler 5400 19.5 HP. Got it at the end of last season. It's much better than other non professional mowers I looked at. I've not been a fan of Craftsman because they were generic Husky/Poulan/Craftsman. This one is different. Likes; real frame, easy...

    Is electric the way to go now?

    I have a stash of old B&D 18v NiCad power tools. Sawsall, Small chain saw, small circular saw, blower, weed eater, drill, impact drill, & hand vac. NiCad sucks, weak, & drains fast. Not wanting to replace all the tools & having to deal with several different (not interchangable) battries, I...

It worked but the v twin doesn't turn the RPMs an 18 single does so speed of drive & blades were reduced. I was warned not to exceed xxx...

    Replace engine on Husky Kohler

    Again, (without going into my back ground) electrics IS NOT an issue for ME. The solinoid your referring to on the carb, I always remove them as I never turn mower off at anything other than throttle full down. My background also does not limit my fabrication skills. To my knowledge, a vertical...

    Replace engine on Husky Kohler

    Exactly. I was just wondering if someone knew of the crank differences if any & bolt pattern. Engine room under hood isn't an issue. 17.5 Briggs verses 18 HP Kohler. Plug & play wiring is not expected & not a problem for me to solder as needed. I know the electrics. I want to rid myself of...

    Replace engine on Husky Kohler

    Instead of ranting, why do the experts not directly answer the question? I have the opposite question. Will a Kohler replace my bad Briggs 17.5 Intek? Crankshaft diameter for pulley, bolt to frame pattern, are they different? I have a riding mower I don't like with a good Kohler, a mower I...
