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...

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.

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

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 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...

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?

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.

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...

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...

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...

These things rock :thumbsup:

I have a chance to pick up an almost new Toro 30" Turfmaster at a fair price. I'm thinking I might just use it in place of my 21. I love my 21 but if I can cut 9 more inches per pass and still have maneuverability it seems like the way to go. I don't expect it to be as maneuverable as my 30"...

Just started this day before yesterday. The Kawasaki FH500v has a carb thats a little more complicated than I'm used to dealing with.

I'm going to have to replace the tires on my Gravely 34z soon. I don't mind the wear so much but they're old and the sidewalls have some cracking. Better to take care of it before they give out on the job. The OEM size is 21-7-10. The only ones I've found are Firestones at $330 shipped. No way...

Looking at a fairly new br430. Worth $200? Doesn't blow that hard but I don't do many leaf cleanups.

Seriously. I saw a few oil filter comparison pages in my car days but this guy takes it even farther. I feel better about my Purolater filters now ;) Oil Filtration Comparisons From the Workbench - Home

Like Permatex high temp RTV. Just curious. I wouldn't trust it on a car but the mating surfaces its going to be used on are flat. Seems like it would work fine. There isn't a lot of pressure there. I think I'll try it and order some gaskets in case of seepage.

I was just telling Fish about how well the 34z ran today. For big yards a zero turn makes mowing a whole nother thing. It was fun at times :thumbsup: I felt a lot more comfortable on it today. I didn't time it but I know my BOP wouldn't have got it done near as fast and if I'd had to rely on my...

The switch/lever to change between tanks and turn the gas off seems to be stuck. I hate to try too hard to turn it... don't want to break it. I'm guessing it's supposed to be easy to turn?

It runs fine for a bit and then quits... sometimes with a big backfire out the exhaust. Wait a little while and it runs fine again til it does the same thing. Raelly could use this mower today. Got a new account with about 1.5 acres. Hate to have to mow it with my 21 but I will. I worked hard to...

Danged traction cable broke. That thing is thick... wondering how it broke. $45 including shipping... damn :eek: Even worse... the blade brake clutch keeps slipping out of engagement. Hoping thats a cable adjustment or some easy fix. The control part is pricey and so is a clutch. Never had a...

I have an exmark 21 with a Honda 5.5 engine. I've owned severeal Hondas with engine from 5hp to 7hp. The exmark cuts rings around the Hondas. It cuts through grass that would bog the Hondas. Any thoughts on why? Seems odd to me since it's just a 5.5 engine.

I just bought a used 34z and thought I'd make a post here. It's my first zero turn so I've got some practicing to do ;) It's a 2009 model with 245 hours. I'll be looking around for other posts on the 34z but any tips or advice is welcome. I haven't had a chance to mow with it yet but I've driven...

It's a Gravely z34. I got tired of waiting for someone to sell a Ferris or SnapperPro cheap. I saw a z34 at a mower shop and thought about buying it but it was $1800 and I kept thinking. Then I saw this one posted on CL last night and it looked better and was $800 less. It runs great but there...

I've seen some big rats but I've seen some possums smaller than this rat. He gnawed his way into the house through wood and... concrete :eek: BBC News - Giant rat: Swedes agog at 'Ratzilla' in Stockholm

They seem to be pretty much useless by and large. Guy talks about things that aren't really helpful for the most part and then maybe cranks up the machine. One thing that pretty amazing to me is these 12 and 13 year old kids with commercial machines I'd love to have.

Sit back and listen to a long screwed up story. After looking and waiting I finally found the exact size I needed at a reasonable price and it was in excellent shape. The seller could only offer a bill of sale. So I checked the TX gov site on the requirements for registration and title. No title...

I googled this and like all brands some love them and some say they are junk. Looking at this one. Not knowing a lot about hydros and belt drives so I'm guessing this is a hydro since I don't see any belts like the Toro I had.

The numbers come up as Snapper Pro 52 on some sites but it doesn't have the Snapper Pro decals. A couple of parts dealers list it as a ZRider. Even I can see it isn't a ZRider. It's for sale. I read good things about Snapper Pro and bad things about ZRiders. It has a new Kawasaki engine and new...

Brand: Honda Model: HRM215K2 HXA Engine: GXV140 5.0 (sorry don't have the numbers :smile:) No spark. Disconnected the kill switch... still no spark. I'm just guessing but the kill switch assy just grounds the coil to kill the engine so when it's disconnected from the coil it's out of the...

Been feeling off for about 2 months. Finally had to go to the ER. Stuck in the hospital for 4 days. Feel the same as I did when I went in ;) Guess it'll take a while. I'll miss my nurses and room service :biggrin:

Anyone know the procedure to adjust the governor?

If this mower is in good shape as the ad says wouldn't it be worth a lot more than $1500? Toro Riding Lawn Mower
