    Craftsman 6.75HP push mower died

    Hi all, I was using this mower on a slight incline when it died. I checked the oil and there was very little in the reservoir. This one burns a little oil routinely. If I ran it dry is it for sure dead? I checked the carb and cleaned all the orifices, Installed 2 gaskets at the breather(from YT...

    Toro 48V String trimmer model 51488-battery problem

    I purchased this trimmer in May 2014 and absolutely loved it. Run time was great for my 1/2 acre, it was light enough for me, and did a great job. Now on my 4th season, no power. How do you find out if it is the battery or the charger? When the battery goes on the charger I get the normal...

    Clutch cable in 2 pieces

    Hi all, I have a Toro Wheelhorse 12-38XL rider and as I was about to install the battery I saw the clutch cable broken in 2 where the battery box goes. I do recall the clutch making a weird clanging noise last summer. My question is about the install. From the parts diagram I see on page 8 the...

    Coleman Generator with B&S engine will not start

    Hi all, I have had this generator for quite a few years and I have always had a hard time starting it. It would take upwards of 50 pulls to get it to go, but it would usually go and be fine. This year it have gone thru the motions and nothing. I have used new fuel, checked to spark plug and...

    Craftsman pusher pull cord sticks

    Model 944.368150 Tecumseh engine 143.985504. Pull cord rips out of my hands on every 3rd or 4th pull only. 2 or 3 clean pulls first but no firing. Had it running this spring just ok. When I let the safety bar go it sounds like something hitting metal on metal. Under deck seems clear of...

    Free Mower, should I take it

    My neighbour has a 1990 JD rider he says he wants to get rid of. It cranks but does not turn over. My guess is that it just needs a tune up and we'd be away, but am I getting into more than I bargained for? I'm up for the challenge.

    Toro Wheelhorse XL12-38 stalls after about 15mins

    Some days I get 30 mins cutting and other times only 5 mins.It sputters alot and runs rough until it finally stalls. Feels like running out of gas. So I'm either looking at an ignition coil or a fuel issue. The fuel filter has gas in it, but can't really see if it is moving or not. I have...

    When to throw in th towel?

    Hi all, I've got a 1995 Toro Wheelhorse that's been a great machine but lately has been nickle and dime-ing me to death. Just put a couple hundred bucks in for the deck/spindle repair. Seems to be using a bit of oil and lately after I have been running it for about a half to 3/4 of an hour, it...

    Blades running rough and noisy

    Hi all, In the last 2 weeks when I engage the blades on my Toro Wheelhorse (Model 71184-1995) they are sounding rough and noisy like something is loose. The blades themselves are fastened tightly. When I disengage the blades and turn off the mower I can hear something still turning. The belt is...

    Craftsman 6.5HP Self propelled push mower right front wheel not engaging

    So I got under and cleaned all the "stuff" out from beneath the wheel housing. Took apart the wheel to see what was going on. Nothing seemed out of place and the parts are clean and in good shape. Not sure however, how the right wheel becomes engaged. The left wheel is fine. Also, is there a...

Had an issue earlier this summer with mower not starting and ended up cleaning the carb and replacing the broken gasket directly behind the carb.Tested with multimeter and it showed a charge.
