    How to tell if pto switch is bad?

    This is VERY good advice. My sentiments exactly. Water is your equipments worst enemy. Also, one of the worst things you can do is cover a piece of equipment with a piece of plastic or a tarp if it is setting on a dirt floor even inside a building. Moisture comes up from the ground & is trapped...

    Kawasaki 25 HP

    If you have a Kawasaki 25 HP that the air cleaner looks like this, You need to read <THIS LINK> They designed the cover to clear the air cleaner with 1/2" clearance, then put on a foam pre-filter that's 1/2" thick, cutting off the air on half of the filter. To get full use of the air...

    Blade Clutch Bearing Froze up

    KK, I cannot thank you enough. I did as you said and the clutch fell off within one minute. You saved me 2 x 60 mile round trips to shop & at least $100. I forgot a problem I had back in 1965. I was replacing the tie rod ends on a 1960 Volkswagon. I pried and beat with a big hammer for an...

    Blade Clutch Bearing Froze up

    I need some help from a good mechanic. I have a 61" Great Dane Chariot with a Kawasaki 25hp Engine # FH21VB09436. The lower bearing on the clutch that engages the blades has locked up. I removed the bolt that holds the clutch on & had trouble getting the clutch off, but finally got the...

    Kawasaki Air Cleaner

    My 25HP Kawasaki has an oblong paper air filter and a foam pre-filter over that. They are both pretty expensive and get dirty quickly. I add a wrap of 3M Vetrap over the foam cleaner and then replace it often, saving the pre-cleaner and the paper cleaner from getting so dirty so soon. The 3M...

    Opinion on buying a Lawn Boy

    1973 is not so old. I have a 1960 Lawn boy with grass catcher I bought new in 1960. It runs good and I use it every year to mow around the back door of the house. I always cut off the tank valve and run it until it dies. I then turn it completely upside down to empty the tank. It usually...

    Lawn Sweeper Help

    I have a 60" John Deere lawn Sweeper that I bought probably 15 years ago. We lost all of our leaves last night, so even though the sweeper has never done too good at picking up leaves, I decided to give it a try, pulling it with my 60" Great Dane ZTR mower. The wheels driving the brush were...

    oil drain plug tool

    Looks like a good job for one of those computer hard drive magnets I have been saving. I have found lots of other uses such as hiding spare car keys, stick one on oil filter to trap steel particles in oil, finding that nut I lose in the grass......the list goes on and on. :-) Here is one in a...

    Great Dane Chariot 61" = Deck Height Quick Adjustment

    The Great Dane Chariot 61" has a terrible system for setting the deck height. It has a pin with a knuckle-busting ball that is hard to change to a different hole. I made a plate with notches and then a dog to drop into those notches using the existing lever handle. It is really easy and fast...

    Great Dane Chariot 60" Blade Belt Tension Spring Replacement

    Here are photos of the tension springs and chain on the mower. A "U" shaped pin is inserted through a chain link to lock it into place. I tie up the excess chain after adjustment is made. I left the chain long so I can hook it onto a come-along and tighten or loosen it.

    Great Dane Chariot 60" Blade Belt Tension Spring Replacement

    My Great Dane Chariot 60" Blade Belt Tension Spring (part #D28025) broke so I got a OEM spring on the 'net for $25.00 and replaced it. Eight weeks and about 30 hours of use later, the new one broke just like the first one did. The spring has a hook on each end and one of there hooks broke off...

    Engine Oil drain for Great Dane w/25HP Kawasaki

    I have had my 60" Great Dane ZTR W/25hp Kawasaki for several years. About the only complaint I have had is they put the oil drain valve on the left side, behind the battery. That engine has a tap for the drain on both sides, so I bought an oil drain line made for the Exmark W/25hp Kawasaki and...
