Hello all, I have a Tecumseh 10HP on a generator. It has a brand new carburetor and ran good, but I started playing with the carb and now it will not start. Any basic instruction on how to adjust a carb would be great. Thanks all Dave

Hello everyone, with my endeavor to build the hitch that holds the bagger assembly to the back of my lawn mower, I started the Snow Cab attachment that I plan to connect to the bagger assembly. I made it out of 1" PVC tubing, (a) because it was cheaper then 3/4" and (b) I am hoping that it...

I have noticed on a lot of these tractors, all the hoods have vents or cut outs for air to get in. Mine does not, would it be wise to put a vent in the top of my hood or in the side of my hood? It can't hurt can it?

Hello, I have owned my tractor (If it is classified as a tractor 917.273460) for almost 10 years and this will be the first year I am going to use it for snow removal. In reading a lot of posts, one of the big problems is not enough weight and the tires start to slip. There are wheel weights...

Hello all... again :smile: I have a 42" deck on my DLT 3000 / 25HP / 917.273460, I was wondering if I could put a 50" cutting deck on my DLT 3000? I'm sure I have the power for it but is there any creative rigging that might need to be done? Thanks again for all the help Dave
