No... I looked but didn't see them. I began dragging it and the wheels weren't turning or turning slowly. so I then dragged it on the grass the rest of the way... I didn't have time to f-around because another guy wanted it. I needed to get it to my home asap. After I got it home I watched...

I know nothing about it and haven't had a chance to look at it. He said that it ran and he was mowing with it but the tube came off the carb. He was tired of fooling with it so I towed it a couple blocks to my driveway. It has surface rust but no rust-through on deck or the body. He has...

Get a Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1.

Never start or turn-over an engine that has been flooded with gas because the gas washes the oil off of the cylinders. The rings will destroy the cylinder wall. pull the plugs, squirt lots of oil in the cylinders, let set overnight then crank the engine by hand without plugs to re-lube the...

THANKS! 2012.. so there have got to be a lot of people with rusted-out decks so I should be able to sell it .

it has no blades.

Thanks so much for the research! Since it's not rusted through it should be worth a couple hundies. This deck looks like an older version of the one I have .

excellent... Thanks

Thanks

Does anyone know for sure what brand/model lawn-tractor this deck came from? THANKS

synthetic oil is a scam. "full" synthetic means N O T H I N G but everyone thinks that it means 100% synthetic. If it were 100% synthetic oil they'd say so. People brag about using synthetic oil and having to do fewer oil changes. This is dumb. What causes wear in an engine is the...

can I put a lithium battery in my John Deere L130 without making changes to my charing system? THANKS

I'll betcha that it has an auto-shut-off for just such situations. I doubt that it's "broken". You need to reset it somehow. do a search for "reset electric lawn tractor" . It's going to be simple.... try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery and see if it resets.

the fuel shut off solenoid valve at the bottom of your float bowl is probably stuck.

OK, i got my ZT1 for free from the curb and it runs and mows great but I can't get the levers adjusted properly. one side is faster than the other. so i'm guessing that i need to check the hydro fluid. I've done this job on my Dixie Chopper but not on the ZT1. I gave a cursory look and...

did you replace the switch? does the engine die immediately when you engage the blades and or arms?

sounds like it's running rich. clogged air filter? when it dies, remove air filter and see if it starts and runs

Well, the engine starts and runs but has some vicious blow-by so the rings are shot. no matter, the deck has new blades and the tires and rims are excellent. going to part it out... i can't get the image to load properly. it truncates the width ! serial #. 917. 287500.

a friend alerted me to a craftsman dgs6500 at the curb just down the street from me. I zipped over there and nabbed it. the engine fan was removed as well as the cover but it has a 2022 battery and it started right up. The blades engaged too! so I put it with my other freebie lawn tractors...

our lovely gov is using YOUR tax dollars to bribe corporations to buy these crappy EV trucks.

show your work...

how do you know this? here's your lithium battery production: https://www.facebook.com/reel/223833576672247/?s=single_unit

yes, let's stay on-topic.... WHAT DID KILMER SAY THAT ISN'T TRUE?

i responded to the above claiming that i'm one of the sheeple. It was HE who didn't stay on-topic.

assume again....

Tommy Mckeown said: A whole forum of small engines not running correct and still wondering if people will switch? the vast majority of the problems are minor fuel deliver issues. I can guarantee that my old JD L120 will outlive all of these overpriced electric mowers. when that ELT catches...

too little too late... anyone who buys an EV of any type is ignoring THIS: https://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/renewable/the-environmental-impact-of-lithium-batteries/

If electric mowers are a good idea, you'd see the commercial lawn services folks buying them up. I can guarantee that this won't happen.

sure, but that's the exception not the rule. batteries rarely go bad in the middle of a job.

why would anyone buy one of these overpriced piles of shiny JUNK? Oh, they'e going to save Planet Earth, I forgot... well guess what?.... the batteries require a lot of rare earth minerals that are so polluting to mine that it's not allowed in the USA. Then when the batteries get weak these...

no, batteries don't do this. when they go bad they won't crank your engine. I never had one go bad in the middle of mowing. PLUS: lawn tractor batteries are made poorly. Buying a new one doesn't guarantee diddly squat. I bought three lawn tractor batteries and one was junk. they...

get a "Battery Minder" desulfator / charger. It will charge and desulfate your battery making it last even longer. it can charge a battery when others can't.

someone please buy this pos then post here in a year if it's still running. it's being dumped at less than half the price of a new electric pos lawn tractor but it IS new according to the listing. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/742266160704441/

that's where a reciprocating saw comes in handy.

it was a vacuum leak. next time you start it, squirt the fuel line connections with oil/gas mix in a spray bottle, which seals the lines from vacuum leaks. works like a charm. also the oil/gas mix can be used as starting fluid. I put a hole in my air cleaner cover so i can squirt the...

when you put on the new filter you also reconnected the fuel line to the pump which sealed the air leak.

This is easy... don't go nuts doing a complicated test and "fix". It's obviously not getting gas which is the most common problem with lawn tractors because you use them then they sit for a while. the fuel line connections are likely leaking a little bit of air which causes your fuel pump...

Like I said before... EV's and Electric trucks are a scam and so to are electric lawn tractors. If you buy one of these overpriced P'sos you will be ska-rooed. Scotty explains how the Tesla 18 Wheelers are breaking down before they reach 100 miles! Then they have to be towed with a...

this is generally because the fuel lines get dry allowing air into the system. the fuel pump can't pump if it's sucking air instead of fuel. I always squirt some gas in my mowers if they sat for a while ESPECIALLY in cold weather. This gets the fuel pump working faster overcoming a minor...

yes, and how do people think that they're going to road tax these new EV's? THEY'RE GOING TO PUT SPYWARE ON YOUR CAR AND CHARGE YOU BY THE MILE. this is all part of the New World Order nightmare. If the Greenies really cared about our environment, they wouldn't be flooding America with...

Clearly you don't understand. Global Warming works in mysterious ways. Sea level only rises on far-away, unheard of islands, not Manhattan or Key West... the same people who are falling for the EV scam are probably anxious for their Covid booster too. It's hard to believe that smart people...

All EV's and now these pos ELT's are a political scam using taxpayer dollars. they want to OUTLAW our gas mowers and cars and have artificially raised the price of oil to take us in this direction. If you fall for the EV scam things are going to get really really bad..

Yeah and Carl Sagan told us that if Saddam lit the oil wells on fire the world would end. The Nobel Prize is a scam. Obama got one and then went on a bombing campaign in The Mid-East. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2009/press-release/ Here's your EV truck getting saved by diesel trucks.

give me a break. and just who were these "scientists". notice that they didn't give us any names. my "scientists" say that The Hole in The Ozone is BS. SHOOT YOUR TV.

BFD... Just like Tesla, these "green" mowers are being subsidized with tax dollars, otherwise they'd never make it to market. only a fool would buy one. I have three gasoline mowers including a Dixie Chopper that I got all for FREE. What the environmental Commies are trying to do is to get...

absolutely.... notice that all of the "greenies" are flying in private jets and have multiple mansions in several countries. The new rules will be for us and not them. like Schwab says: "you will own nothing and you will be happy". WAKE UP, PEOPLE!

no, it's totally different. what do you think is going to happen to the price of electricity when every starts recharging their LARGE electric SUVs and lawn tractors? The infrastructure for going electric isn't there! furthermore, oil is NOT a fossil fuel, it's made by the Earth deep in the...

and how much will it cost to keep your electric pos plugged-in all year. those batteries have to drain to keep the cells from freezing. DON'T BUY THESE P'SOS!

this is the attitude that will screw us all over. NO, you have to fight these electric everything SCAMS.
