    My 1st John Deere

    A friend is the mechanic at a golf course near me. They had two 2500E Hybrid greens mowers. These were costing them a lot to maintain the electric reel mower assemblies. His boss told him to get rid of them. He kept one and brought me one. He is a good friend. Engine runs great and the...

    Toro Z Master Diesel

    Discovered what the seller didn't tell me. No drive on the left side. Just a grinding sound. Still, I think it's worth what I paid for it. Time to invest some more money I guess.

    Toro Z Master Diesel

    Got the engine running today. The ignition switch was burnt up and fell all to pieces. Jumped some connections and she fired up. Nothing wrong with the starter itself.

    Toro Z Master Diesel

    Bought a Toro Z Master Diesel Commercial with 3 cylinder Daihatsu engine. Man said he burnt up the starter trying to start it after running out of fuel. He didn't know much about it and after looking at it, we think he had the fuel tank selector on the empty tank and put fuel in the other tank...

    B&S model 135212 lost compression

    I was given a Coleman 2250 watt generator with a Briggs model 135212 engine. Carb was gummed up from old gas. Got it running. Shut it off and restarted it 5 or 6 times. Last time I shut it off, I let it sit and cool a while. Went back to start it and it felt like it lost compression. Wouldn't...

    Just picked up this Kubota T1600 mower.

    Found this T1600 mower on Craigslist for $500. 624 hours on the meter. The little two cylinder diesel starts good and runs like a new one. Hydrostatic transmission is strong. The mower deck needs some work. Looks like a lot of stuff wrapped up around the blade spindles and it needs a little...

    Toro 223D and i'm getting old

    I bought this Toro 223D a couple of years ago and really love it. I am getting older and it's harder to pick up and carry heavier items around. I had bought this truck bed crane to help put things in and out of my pickup. I decided to make this crane even more useful, so I built this mount to...

    Toro 223D engine problem

    Before, I had trouble starting even when warm, I had to hold the glowplug switch down. Now when warm, all I have to do is hit the starter, and it fires right up. That extra speed from the new starter has made it seem like I put a new engine in it. And no smoke when starting. Discovered my...

    Toro 223D Opinions on oil for hydraulics

    Trying to decide, should I stick with the old recommendation from Toro manual and use standard 10w30 motor oil, synthetic motor oil or should I use a hydraulic oil ? Not concerned about the cost. I just want my machine to last as long as possible. Already changed the engine oil to Amsoil Diesel...

    Toro 223D engine problem

    Hello all. New to the forum. I am having some problems starting my 223D with the Mitsubishi diesel engine. It is hard to start and smokes lots of black smoke when it does finally start. Smoke clears up once it is running. I have replaced the fuel filter and air filter. It has been slow to start...
