much louder engine: no muffler Turbos make high pitched sounds... maybe you actually got it to spool up The oil? Where was it coming from? The gasoline... if the turbo spooled high enough then it got very very hot. I've seen them get glowing red hot. Might have melted the gas tank if it was...

Okay, should be interesting. Might be best to just buy some race gas. I say you still need an oil pump. Among other things ;) I looked at your link. Uness I missed seeing it, the site doesn't give any specs on the turbo except "100hp" so you really don't know what you're getting in terms of...

I haven't been here in years and haven't played w/ turbo cars for a long time but when I got the email notification about this thread I had to read it. I figured it would be entertaining and it was. Also sometimes hilarious. Kudos to the posters who mentioned the necessity of pressurized oil and...

Hey all. I'm using an old 20624 now. What's the best blade... OEM or Oregon? I'm doing 60/40 mulching /bagging. Also which jet is for the idle circuit... pilot jet?

I bought this new. It has the 223cc Briggs engine like the newer Toro Timemasters. Bottom line is I'm not impressed. The mower seems underpowered. I figured the 223cc engine on a 28" mower w/ two blades would be a lot better than this. Has the same basic problems that the older Timemasters had...

Honda HRR2169VKR MZCG 9143823 My neighbor brought me his mower to fix. I've fixed this one or another like it several times. He doesn't speak much English but he said "carburetor maybe" and showed me it wouldn't start. After I finished the Lawnboy I was working on I started on his Honda. I...

Are you looking at the blade or the fan? That fan is not going to be doing any lifting. Its sails are completely opposite of the way the sails are oriented on a lifting blade. I can't see it doing anything but opposing the lift from the sail on the cutting blade. Lift blade sails are like this...

I bought a 10323 awhile back because I have some steep ditch I have to mow and I didn't want the oil starvation to be a problem in my 4 stroke mower. I don't see how this fan could help with mulching. Those fan blades are going to push grass blades down.

I want to make it clear I'm not disagreeing w/ Rivets here. I've owned a lot of mowers. I've had 3 Timemasters, a Turfmaster, and an Exmark commercial 30. I've had the newer 33" sold by Craftsman/Troybilt/Cub Cadet but I didn't have it very long. I've also owned an older 33" Cub Cadet that was...

Is the front baffle from the Turfmaster worth buying for mulching? Any opinions on Copperhead blades for a Timemaster?

Re: Timemaster weak drive *** Fixed *** I couldn't think of anything else so I thought I'd throw a few more dollars at it. I replaced the plastic lever that the traction cable hooks on to. I didn't see anything wrong w/ the old one but it must have been cracked just enough not to work 100%...

The admin will probably move this to the Honda forum unless you make another post there. There are probably related threads listed just below this thread. It's a common problem and I just read a post by a guy having this problem and a member explained what the problem usually is and how to fix...

I can't figure this one out. 2013 Timemaster I bought as a project. I bought it thinking it only needed carb repair. I took care of the carb and it runs iike a top. The PP system drive system was weak. It would only propel the mower on pavement and then only if I grabbed the cable between the PP...

it's not always a sheared key. Most pros probably know this but some of us non-pros don't so I thought I'd share. FJ180V had a severe kickback problem (tore a ligament in my hand ouchie) and eventually refused to pull at all. I checked the key (Cub s621 PITA) and it was fine. Checked the valves...

I would haggle on the price a little more but try get it. There are two or three things that could be and all are easy to fix and parts are cheap. The wheels use a ratcheting drive system very similar in function to a ratchet drive wrench. Best thing to do is pull that wheel off and have a look...

I picked up a 2013 Timemaster for cheap. After fixing all the other issues I can't get the self propel to work. Installed a new drive belt and traction cable. If I push the PP handle all the way down and then grab the cable and pull hard it will start slowly and then pull like a mule. I've owned...

I bought an old Cub Cadet SR621 w/ an FJ180v as04 carb. Cheap. Seller's ad said it just needed a primer bulb. When I saw it he had the carb off. Looked like all the parts were there and the engine had (seemed like good) compression and no obvious major damage. After considerable negotiation I...

It's been a long time but I need to post a couple questions and figured I'd say hello to anybody remembers me. I don't recall too many names. Carscw (dealmaker lol), lawnboy18 (ybravo :thumbsup:), Ric, exotion, that cranky old man who knew everything (probably did too) and a few others. Not...

I bought a couple of very lightly used Husqvarna 128LDs a while back. Neither ran so I got both for $50. I rebuilt the carb on one and sold it. I kept the other for a backup, thinking I'd pick up some used attachments cheap on CL and have a backup for everything. Rebuilt and adjusted the carb...

Got a Craftsman edger for $30. Cleaned the carb and runs like new. Looks new too. Thought the 4hp might come in handy for those overgrown lawns where the Stihl struggles. Bought an Echo power pruner for $50. Bought a new carb for $20 and runs perfect. Sold it for $150 and wish I hadn't.

That is one way to fix it ;) I have to tweak Firefox once in a while too, usually after an update. Its been good thru the last two updates tho.

Appreciate it Ric. Maybe its just this pics aspect that makes that Toro look compact. Toro 48in Commercial Zero Turn Mower 225hrs Scag V-ride 36inch

Don't usually ask these questions but wondering if a V ride in great shape w/ 650hr could be worth 3000.

I don't post a whole lot but I'm damned glad to have this site.

I saw a CL ad for a 52" Great Dane stand-on. I don't know anything about these mowers and only one post came up in search... unanswered. Anybody have experience with them?

I think I got it all sorted out now. Thanks for putting me on the right track. Pretty much everything did yesterday was backasswards. What I did here actually lowered the deck: And by turning the two long rods I was increasing the pitch which caused the raked appearance. Got that fixed and...

Thanks and yep its a velocity+ deck. I was going to get to leveling after I got this figured out but like you say there are so many adjusting points and they are all related. Are you saying I'm not going to be able to get the deck to go into transport position because something else is out of...

So I'm gradually getting this mower all sorted out. I need some expert help now because I'm getting into things I don't have experience with. Two things I noticed first time I used it. It wouldn't go into "transport mode" and it cut lower than it was set for. I measured yesterday and it was...

I'm never going to R&R this thing. The only parts missing are the handlebars, belt cover, blade, and bag. The engine has compression but I haven't measured it nor will I because I don't have a gauge. I'm 99% certain the transmission is good. The rear tires and wheels are good. The deck is sound.

Nothing to get excited about here but I picked up a mower for $30 today. Scotts turf vac3 or something like that. Looks barely used. The pull cord broke and the guy bought a new mower. Let this one sit up a couple of years. I had a new rope on in about 15 minutes. Put some gas in...tank was bone...

I bought a used Tiger cub a few weeks back. Had a new engine and several other new parts. The drive belt broke in the middle of my biggest yard. Who puts a bunch of new parts on a mower and doesn't replace old belts :confused2: Anyway I ordered 3 new belts. Two came in today and I had a little...

Is it pretty low? Some people *cough* Lawnboy18 need to delete some messages if they want replies :wink:

I bought a used Scag w/ a new Kawasaki engine a couple of weeks back. SMTC-48v s/n d9103610. Tiger Cub decals. Scag manual says it's a Tiger Cub. Scagoemparts.com and partstree.com and other online parts houses seem to think it's a Tiger Cat :confused2: Anybody familiar with this? Doesn't...

Bought a used Tiger cub. Mower is great but the parking brake doesn't work. Any common problems to look for?

Hey all... haven't been around in a while. Hope everybody had a good and prosperous summer. Okay like the title says I've made some changes and since everyone has opinions and likes to express them I thought I'd post up. I value the opinions here and even if I don't follow the advice I'm given I...

I got what I think is a T270 as a throw in on some equipment I bought a while back. I decided to get it running for a backup trimmer. I cleaned the carb and put a new primer bulb on that fit okay. Couldn't get it to run though. I bought the proper primer bulb (pricey little thing) and found a...

I have a voicemail from a potential customer. The voice sounded familiar... lots of ums and uhs. Then she said "My name is Catherine" and that rang a bell too. I checked the phone number and it's a woman who stiffed me about a year ago. I'd cut her grass and couldn't get her to answer the door...

Sounds like a dig at Honda but its not. The mower is 6 years old and he uses it on side jobs. The transmission blew and he asked me to fix it. He has somehow got the impression that I work miracles :laughing: I explained it probably couldn't be fixed and if it could be then it wouldn't be worth...

Decided to fix one and use the other for parts. It's coming along. Got the one clean and then sanded and painted the handles. Getting it running was easy enough. Fixing the gas tank so that it doesn't leak has been the problem. Both tanks leaked at the same places... the holes for the mounting...

I picked up a couple of old 22040 Proline 21s with Suzuki 2 strokes a couple of weeks ago. Finally got a chance to work on one yesterday. Removed everything from the gas tank to the carb and clean all the gunk & varnish out and put a new fuel filter on. Got it to fire up and run but the gas tank...

Got the mower off the trailer and cut the front yard. Shut it off to go around to the small gate and get in the backyard to open the big gate. The thing wouldn't start. I finally realized I didn't have the brake on. Started right up but as soon as I released the brake it quit. Ziptied the switch...

Exotion should like this. I picked up a couple of old Toros w/ Suzuki engines. They don't work but I think they will with carbs rebuilds and fuel lines. Decks and wheels/tires are good. Transmissions work but one needs a cable. Need new starter ropes. $40. The guy had 4 of them but I only had...

That would work too. All my boards were rotten on the ends. The trailer was built in 2008 or '09. I'm thinking these boards will last a lot longer than the old ones. Some after pics... Where I made the cuts. First tried the two outside cuts you see. It was too hard to bend up so I made more...

I didn't take any before pics but I picked up this new customer last month and their grass is really pretty. I haven't seen anything that even gives a hint that they water it. Got a lot of unevenness and old tree trunks I have to watch out for though. Here's an after pic or two. The dog just had...

That should go in a separate thread :frown: Call it Steal for today :thumbsup: I picked up this Tanaka blower for 150. Not a steal but a deal. I almost passed on it when I saw it had no air filter or filter cover and was caked with dust. Seems to be fine tho. I found a filter with a silicone...

No kidding. I didn't know that they laid the boards in and then welded the top metal part. At least thats the only way I can figure they could have done it. Your way sounds good too. I'll let you know about the grit. It should last almost as long as the Thompsons... 6 months to a year or so...

Had a lot of rotten spots in the old floor and been meaning to install new wood. Finally got around to it. I used treated lumber and also spread some Thompsons water seal on it. I added some grit to the sealer for the top of the boards. The way I got the old boards out and the new ones in was to...
