Regarding the the $20.99 spark plug, I wonder how many Cub dealers pass that price on to the customers? If they passed that on to me , they would be ordering me a new head gasket because I would have blown mine.

Talk about getting ripped off!!!!

Thanks for all the input. After 47 years I was able to get the bolts out no problem. I put a new OEM muffler on and opted not to use any never seize. In 47 more years, I'll be 112. I will let the next guy worry about it.

Tecumseh on an Ariens HM80 155128C Serial 62160. After 47 years I am replacing the muffler. I got it off no problem. I I watched some you tube videos and they show Never Seize being applied to the bolts. The Never Seize was copper based. My question is, don't copper and aluminum interact with...

It happens. I also had a pulley separate on my gt3000 a few years ago. it was the original pulley.

Put some sand paper on the pulley and cleaned it up. Put it all back together. Tested and nothing changed. Auger still spins with the belt loose on the pulley. I have a new OEM belt on it. I wonder if going the next size bigger would correct the problem.

Being older, I prefer an engine that is quiet. It would really be nice if a manufacture could make a quiet engine. I took the ear plug route. Full throttle. Cool engine.

Snapper I524 Model 5249 Serial# 84718343 Got this machine for free and I put some love into it. New tires, electric start, both belts and a paint job. Engine runs like new. My problem is with the auger. It keeps spinning when not engaged. Even before I put the new belts on (OEM Belts). I...

Found my problem. On the solenoid, the 2 heavy studs, They have 2 nuts each. the first nut was not tight all the way. I would tighten the second nut with the wires on but still have a poor connection. So I tightened the first nut good and followed thru with the rest of the wires and secured the...

Will do.

I believe the key switch is ok. Off is M to G On is no connections and Start is B to S. When I pull the lead that energizes the solenoid and meter it when I turn the key to start, I get +12 volts. I am going to dig deeper today.

DR Power wagon Pro XL800 Serial PW2001478 Powered by a Briggs 8.75 HP model 121S07-0167-F1. I picked this up at auction and absolutely love it. I have noticed that the operator presence lever is intermittent. I can be in gear moving and let up on the operator presence lever and it does not kill...

Success!! What I did was took the regulator off and sanded the terminals. I also have a ground wire under one of the screws and I cleaned that one too. Reassembled and checked. Came right back to life. I believe I added the ground wire from the case of the regulator to the frame of the tractor...

Snapper rear engine rider model 2812523BVE Serial 2013121925. 28 inch blade. Long story short. Daughter in law hit a rather large root. Now the blade hits the deck housing. I thought maybe it was just a bent blade. I guess things are just never that easy. I put a new blade on, same thing. Let...

I have my fathers 1977 Ariens snowblower. The paint has held out rather well for its age. Minimal rust. I went to Tractor and got a can of Kubota orange. I lathered up the scoop, impeller and chute with the paint and a brush. Took a little while to dry, But it dried hard. No snow will stick to...

Well, I had some time to look at the situation so I put on my x-ray specs and what I found was the connecting link between the governor arm and the carburetor had a bend in it. This caused the link to be at an angle as it went thru the hole on the carb and bind. Once I straightened it out, I ran...

Hi all. Let me get the particulars out of the way. 5 HP Tecumseh on a Snapper Snow Blower Model HS50 67266H Serial 818 CB Starts up and runs. It wont run fast. If I bump the governor, it will speed up. If I raise the throttle to full It will sit there and idle, then after about 20-30 seconds it...

You know what they say, If you want to really mess something up, Get the Government involved. I had the newest 5 gallon EPA approved gas can with a gallon of gas in it. I put the spout in my Cub Cadet tank, pushed the lever down with my palm. Grabbed the flange with my fingers and pushed the...

Thank You !

Snapper rear engine rider 28 inch mower Model 7800104 or 2013121925 Anyhow , looks solid so I went for it. Engine is a Briggs 12.5 Starts right up. Now my questions and concerns. Some rocket scientist that knows better than us cut all the wires for the safety switches. I found the seat and...

I guess this is a throw away society. I bought a 15 gallon tow behind fimco sprayer. Why? I don't know. I needed something to spray my apple trees. I saw them at tractor supply . The one on display outside was a wreck. The hoses were all cracked from the sun. I'm sure that was a cost cutting...

Hi all , I have an Echo I think GT1100 string trimmer. Runs well and always has. My question is about the cutting head. Or cutting heads in general. Mine is the type where you insert a 6-8 inch piece of string and it is held in like a Chinese finger type situation. I like it .Very simple. And...

Update. I took the engine off. Supported the engine with a floor jack. Took the locking bolts out of the "King Pins"And griped them with Vise Grips. They came right out.. The pulley on the tiller end came right off too. Cleaned the front end so I could find my oil leak. I propped up the rear...

Took my chain saw apart before I realized the chain brake was on. Thought my clutch was bad. When I was 9 (63 now) I was trying to get an old lawnmower to start. Poured gas in the carb, pulled the rope and that thing took off like a rocket. I got scared and pulled the plug wire. I felt every...

Remember, they didn't want the home owner to adjust carbs(Those of us that knew they needed adjustment). Had to take it to a shop.

I took it off again and gave it a good look . I saw the magnets that lock the pulley in place when the PTO is not energized. They are working properly. I see the middle magnet pivots Thus locking the pulley in one direction.When I spin the middle piece that the bolt goes thru, That spins freely...

Hi All , First the important stuff. Model:13WK92AAK009 Serial:1C021H30256 DOM:March 2011 Well , my original drive belt to the rear wheels finally went so I had a job in front of me. The machine being 11 years old, I replaced the 3 pulleys located around the center of the machine along with...

My 2 cents. I had a Briggs with a bent crank shaft. Put the mower on its side, found the high side and hit it with a small sledge. Brought it back in close enough. I'm sure the Pros don't want to hear this but it worked for me. What did I have to lose. I continued to mow with the machine.

Heated grips are not going to work. not going with a 12 v system.

Yes I want to get the 120 volt starter and I want to get the alternator for a light (maybe even hand grip heaters?) I think the alternator attaches to the outside of the recoil . I have to remove the black cap and a little rod sticks into the top of the flywheel to get the spinning motion. No...

Hi All, I have an old Snapper I 524 that was given to me. It was a wreck. I put some love into it, And now, Its a beast. I would like to go a little further with it and put electric start and an alternator on it. A couple questions: 1: Does the flywheel have a ring gear on it? 2: Does the...

Snakes... I work on outboard motors as a hobby. One of my motors had evidence of mice under the cowling. And a snake skin shed.

Just a thought, When I talked to the appliance repair man about what the best dishwasher was, he told me the "premier" model just had a fancier face. The mechanicals inside were the same as the cheaper model. Then he said, Just get the one you like; they're all junk.
