    Carb part# verification needed

    I have a customer’s Coleman Powermate 6250 generator with a B&S engine (pull start only). The carb needs to be replaced but I’m unable to verify the correct part number. I’ve tried looking on B&S website and jacks small engines and I’m not confident the carbs I’m finding are correct. The...

    SO... does crack kill flywheels, too?

    I had to remove the flywheel to replace the crankcase breather as the old one would “squawk” with the last few revolutions after key off. I didn’t figure that out until I was filling it with oil and my brain was going “Steady.... steady.... steady..... DUMP ALL THE OIL INTO THE FUNNEL AT...

    Fuel solenoid new vs. original questions - JD LA150 w/ Briggs Intek

    Ok so during my tear down project this past winter (update to that thread coming soon), I've managed to misplace the fuel shutoff solenoid. And by misplace, I mean lose. I'm pretty sure those are synonymous, for me at least... :unsure: Anyway I've been looking for a replacement and I'm just...

    LA150 Oil Sump & Other Adventures

    I’m taking some time this winter to repair the oil sump leak on my mean-green-grass-cuttin-machine as well as repair or maybe improve some other things while I’m at it. I thought it’d be nice to have a dedicated thread to share pics and ask advice as needed along the way. Here’s the beast in...

    Alternative to hub caps? LA150

    I’ve owned 3 mowers with these rubber hub caps and I’m just sick of dealing with them. I know there’s a couple of tricks to making removal easier but I’m not interested in making them easier to deal with - I just want a different set up. I was considering making my own using PVC pipe caps but...

    16HP Vanguard valve adjustment

    I’ve been fighting a B&S vanguard engine (303447-1188-E1) for far too long. It’s installed in a ball field drag, if that matters - all it does is operate 2 hydraulic pumps via belts - the pumps operate all the attachments and drive system on the ball drag. What started as an oil change and...

    Looking to add temp gauge to LA150

    During the winter, I'm gonna be pulling the engine (Briggs 24HP twin) due to the oil sump gasket leaking badly. I'm gonna inspect and reseal the engine as well as take care of maintenance it needs as the tractor has +/- 600 hours on it and I know not all of the required maintenance has been...

    It...is....ALIVE!

    I FINALLY got a chance to try out my snow blade after finishing it 2 weeks ago... it works!!! :cool2: We got about 5 inches of light, powdery snow today - exactly what I wanted to test it out. I need to adjust the blade so it's pitched a little more forward on the bottom end (and still...

    Transaxle fluid? Scotts S1642

    Okay, so I finally figured out the model # of my lawn tractor and now I'm curious what kind of fluid I need to use in the transaxle? There's nothing in my manual about transaxle service/fluid replacement because I'm sure the good engineers at Scotts/John Deere assumed the transaxle would never...

    Blades Hello/Snow blade installation

    Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it! I didn't see a Scotts specific forum, so I'm guessing either I need to post about it here, or I'm the only one on this forum that's foolish enough to own a Scotts lawn tractor. :laughing: I'm working on installing a snow blade on it for...
