    Simplicity Prestige Power Steering Cylinder Leaking

    Y'know, Ilengine, that's a damn good point! I hadn't thought to check that out - no wonder that crap is so expensive! I think though, that going through the lathe - cut - repair - weld thing would quickly eat up enough cash to make a new purchase the better option. Thanks!

    Simplicity Prestige Power Steering Cylinder Leaking

    Troops, I have a 2013 Simplicity Prestige (27 hp Kohler) which I am going to sell because I bought a new mower. When I moved it in the garage, I found a small oil spot that turned out to be from the hydraulic cylinder. So I got online and looked the part up and had to be defibrillated when I...

    Branches & Sticks & Twigs, Oh My!

    Hopefully this is the stupid questions department.... What do you folks use to pick up massive quantities of small (1 1/2" + <) sticks, twigs and branches off your lawn? I have a very large dead hickory (actually it's my neighbor's) that has dropped an unfathomable amount of twigs and branches...

    Simplicity ZTR Hydraulic oil

    Just purchased a brand new (old stock) Simplicity Courrier ZTR (2691661) and am in the process of adding it to my small engine specs spreadsheet. I've culled through all the books the dealer gave me with it but have no idea what type of oil to use in the drive units. I'm assuming it's a...

    2013 Simplicity Prestige (2690953) mower blades slow in reverse?!

    About two years ago, my Simplicity mower blades started noticeably slowing down when I reverse it, which I do frequently. It works fine when going forward, but when I step on the reverse pedal, I can hear the blades slowing down considerably. It still mows, but not as well. I changed the...

    Dies After 45 Minutes Running

    Many years ago I had a Simplicity mower with the same problem. For years it would run great until it got good and hot (usually about 2 hours, depending on ambient temps) then just quit. Nothing I did would make it run until it cooled down, when it would start and run just fine for...

    54 inch mower deck

    WoW! It's amazing there are no replies! Well, to answer you question a year late (almost) Those chains are the suspension chains for the mower deck. Weh it is either lifting or in the full up position, they will be tight as they are suspending the weight of the deck. When in the full down...

    simplicity landlord 2001 K71 transaxle

    FYI: in case you didn't know, the brainiacs at Briggs & Stratton decided, in their infinite wisdom, to discontinue Simplicity, Snapper and one other line in ther entirety. So, even if you found the part number, you likely won't be able to find the part. I have been waiting for over 6 months...

    Simplicity 38" Mower Deck 1694036 Internal baffle?

    Ditto what Rivets said, that piece will be easy for anyone with any sheet metal competence to reproduce. Just make sure you prime then finish it with a good epoxy paint. FYI: in case you didn't know, the brainiacs at Briggs & Stratton decided, in their infinite wisdom to discontinue...

    2019 Troy Built mower - 09P602 engine model - Plastic Carb - Will not Start

    I have a 2016 Poulan with the same carb and the same problems. Every year I would need to disassemble and clean the carb (though there was never anything visibly amiss with it) then it would start and run OK for the year. Let it set for the winter, treated fuel, gumout added, doesn't matter...
