Many years ago neighbor was throwing out a very old Honda FG-100, which sat in back of his shed for over 15 years & old when he put it up . I said I'll take it & see if I can get it going. If not I'll pitch it out. Anyhow, after all new fuel lines & cheap $9. chinese carb. It still runs so...

Just went today to Ace Hdwre. to replace some broken Craftsman sockets.. Mine are old & were made in USA. Replacement is from china. But was surprised ie: 10mm 6 point deep-well from Craftsman / china was visibly thicker walled construction.. Surprised.

Think we may see more of this. Said repairs & resale is a killer.

Got some OE Kaw oil filters today, & reading the print on box says, self-lubricated gasket No oiling necessary. Then on the filter is says to wipe a light film on the gasket as usual with fresh oil.

Is it better to have the hydros hot or cold to drain the fluid & change filters.

Bought a new Battery from Advance 5 years ago for my truck, And every couple years, I check / test the batteries around here. Anyhow voltage was fine, but amps were low. So working on getting the semi-sealed lid off to see if it needed water, the top decal lifts exposing another decal from...

I started my 2021 Liberty Z 48 Kawasaki, Wednesday only 41 hours on it.,. Upon starting I got a tiny puff of smoke.. Instantly cleared up, & ran flawlessly as usual.. But the puff of smoke was something I never noticed before. Although I haven't been watching it closely. It does not use any...

See many use the 15w-50, & many use the 20w-50 for my 2800 Hydros, my book calls for 20w-50, & I still have almost 4 years left under warranty.. Appreciate any input..

So speaking directly to a tech @ Hydro-Gear, he said the oil they use is 20w-50 Mobil 1 with their H-G label. Shocked he would tell me this. So It "seems" that their service kits have Full synthetic Mobil 1 in them. I'm getting my supplies ready for when I hit min of 50 hours on my Liberty...

Haven't heard or read anything from Bert. Hope he is ok..

Have had moles & voles in past. But this seems different.. Must be like 30 holes around my foundation, noticed today. They are approx 1 inch & seem to go deep in ground. Always some dirt piled up next to holes. I'm in SE TN. If that helps & near a farmers cornfield across the way. Any...

After last mow I did the oil & filter change. Then days later put my Z up on the wheel dollys I park on, so I can slide it out when I want to tinker on it. Today removed the blades & soaked them in a drain pan with water. 1/2 hour later I wiped the blades clean. No fuss no muss, the water...

I live next to a large farm, they got a New 61" Scag TC II, but were complaining that it just was covering them with cuttings & crud (Blow-back). But was a super mower. I have a friend that has one in NJ, & he said there is a Baffle in front of the blades & factory sets it @ 1/4" higher than...

In cleaning my Kaw 651V engine off, I noticed the lowest oil passage "allen wrench end plug" under the oil filter, had slight weep of oil under it (see arrow in pic) . Nothing earth shattering. But w/only 12.8 hours on it. I had to check into it. (I would have anyhow). I cleaned the area...

It looks like a smaller Scag. Only engine mentioned was a 20 hp Kohler. Got the pic. No pricing was mentioned as yet, but do know current models have had a price increase, if you can find any... No word if the 5 year warranty is still included, like my 48" Liberty has.

Been hearing that Scag is gonna be previewing a battery powered Z for the new Year.. Arrgh..

Figure I should start looking for a set (3) mower blades for my new Scag 48" LIberty. Any recommendations ? I side-discharge when mowing & the OEM blades are std lift, so that is fine.

Got to 7.6 hours today after mowing on my Liberty, so did the early 8 hr oil & filter change. So whenever I get to 50 hours, I plan to service the HG 2800's early as well. Oil is the cheapest thing on the machines. Now the hydro filters are a bit more expensive,.

Seems a friend in GA was trying to get a Scag with Kawasaki power, he waited a month & the dealer finally told ,they are having trouble getting Kawi engines at this time. Anyhow, wondering if anyone else has heard of this ? TIA..

OK took delivery today of my 2021 Brand new Scag Liberty 48" Z The hydros are the HG 2800 model. I have no experience with them. My machine has 0.2 hours on it. The Hydros seem to be awfully loud, & at WFO & any RPM for that matter, is this normal or what ? Do they quiet down after a...

This was from the Dealer, said it is correct for the F Kaw engines. it is smaller than the 49065-0721 But 1/2" longer approx. But I can't find it to cross over ?

Thinking of upgrading to a Scag 48" Liberty Z. Has the Kawasaki engine & HG 2800 pumps. And the 5 year warranty. Love my Toro. But maybe time for a slightly bigger machine. Not a need, more of a want. Appreciate any input.

Friend sent me this link: Just when ya thought your mower was expensive, check this rig... 96" wide cut. Wings fold up for transport /cleaning & or servicing. 7500-D Series 96" (244 cm) 37 HP 1642cc Diesel Rear Discharge (72096)...

This is a 1st for me. Just got my order in, & the Spark Plugs are made in Japan, but assembled in Thailand.. Boxes look slightly different, but same everything else. I tested the Ohm resistance on these & they are between 4K - 6k Ohm. Which is fine. They are resistor spark plugs.

All 7 were put in quarrantine, & flagged as infected. That's a new one to me here.

Been a long time since I got in box notice from here. So I was floored by the large amount of notices I got. Then get here & only about 8 in my Alerts section. Strange.

Can't believe all the New no-frills "human powered" push mowers only cut to 3." or max @ 3.75" When I find one that cuts @ 4 inch, it is self propelled.. Arrrgh.. And Side Discharge would be another "want". Thanks in advance.

Looking for input on which engine seems to better for home use only.. Thanks in Advance,.

My vintage B&S Flathead push mower is getting low on compression. Since it does not burn oil & plug is clean, I suspect the valves, in particular the Exhaust. There is no valve lash adjustment in the conventional sense on this Flathead. Mow season is possibly close to over, So when done, I'll...

I'm still using the last: 1909, but am happy with it.. Plus I don't wanna lose Firefox as one of my browsers. . Appreciate any input.... Pros.......... Cons etc ..

Yesterday while mowing down in back, I accidentally found the kids lost baseball. What a loud sound my mower made, it cut it in two. I checked everything on my Z & blades & belt etc are still running true. & I finished mowing the rest of my grass. Not happy about finding that in my fenced...

My 14 year old MTD /Briggs Flathead is still doing good. Friend hit a rock w/it 2 yrs ago, I got the crank as straight as I could. It runs good, but can tell it is getting tired. So thinking about an upgrade to a NEW Hi-wheel Troy-Bilt deck with Honda 160cc engine. This would be from Big box...

Getting time for me to renew my DL, was wondering if anyone has already gotten the (Gold Star) Real ID license yet ? Appreciate any input. I have read some good & some bad (naturally)..

Is this legit ? I can't get any info off the Kawasaki engine site. Been using OE 49065-7007 since day 1, now filters I have coming are said to be 49065-0721.

Already have my Z put up in hibernation. So got my old faithful vintage B&S / MTD 22" Push mower out to give just the front a nice neat look for Thanksgiving. :thumbsup:

Ace used to carry the Dixie Chopper line, but since DC was bought up & liquidated, Ace has brought in Exmark. I was getting my Kawasaki oil filters from Ace when they had big sales.. So maybe I still can..

To the day it has been 5 years since I bought my Toro Z. I don't wanna jinx it, but I don't have a single regret getting this machine.. This is time of year my Dealer has big sales to make room for next year models.. I saved about $400. on mine, back in 2014... The Kawasaki FR(X)651V has...

Just got a kit for my String trimmer. (kit made in Taiwan) Upon inspection I find that: The gas tank Vent Valve in the kit allows only very little draw, & if you add a lil pressure the rubber inside pops away from seated position, while the cap remains on. Is my original one serviceable ...

Yesterday, had a computer issue that caused a loss of a lot of my passwords etc. Since we (or at least I & some others I know) don't get emails to post replies, I could NOT re-set my Password. I had to re-register under a different ID to send a PM to Muhammad. He understood everything &...

Kawaski FR651V - FX air box conversion Finally some pics.

Stanley Black & Decker bought Craftsman & are supposed to be building a new US facility to bring production back to "Forged in USA" :thumbsup:

As posted above, would it be safe to leave the Break In oil in a new mower engine thru winter till it gets it's 8 hours on for early oil & filter change.

Please excuse the poor quality of pics, too sunny.. 1st one has old International p/up cab, but V-8 Detriot /big honking turbo, & air bagged, laying frame, from yesterdays car show. And they both had working A/C (of course).. The "B" Model had a big Cummings in it (tweaked up too) & was...
