    Free craftsman dgs6500

    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...

    Can I use a John Deere Ignition Switch in My Dixie Chopper?

    Ok, I bought a new ignition switch for my FREE Dixie Chopper but it won't shut-off the engine unless I jiggle it, just like the old crappy switch. So I have to return the pos.... BUT I have a spare ignition switch from my John Deere with 7 prongs (two are for the lights I THINK) but the five...

    FREE Cub Cadet Zero-Turn Vibrates

    OK, now that i got the FREE Dixie Chopper, chopping well, I'm going to work some more on the FREE, Cub Cadet zero-turn which I have gotten running well but it vibrates even before I engage the blades. I saw a youtube video where a guy complained about this problem with this mower. Any...

    Impulse Fuel Pump Rebuild

    I took apart an impulse fuel pump and it's a simple creature with just diaphragm and one way valve. there's no reason to have to throw it away when it can be easily rebuilt, right? but there are no rebuild parts for these things....

    John Deere L120 With Briggs 20hp V-twin

    ok, i had the carb-float stick closed on me so i got that fixed. i fired it up and it ran good until i idled it down and back up. the funky mechanism that controls the rpm is not allowing the butterfly to open properly and it starts running super-rich and chugging badly. i can open the carb...
