Last year I transferred a 2cyl 17HP Kawasaki motor from a LT190 over to a 245 that had the single cylinder 14HP kawasaki motor. I also moved over the wiring harness bypassing the seat sensor among others I put about 30hrs on it completely trouble free but a couple weeks ago with no warning it...

This looks to be a well cared for tractor 880hrs. Deck is solid all lights and controls work. Only problem so far is it won't start when cold unless you give it a small shot of starting fluid in the air cleaner then it fires right up. There is a small puff of whiteish/gray smoke when it cold...

Hello All I just recently bought this mower, 600hrs cosmetically great, doesn't burn oil so I think it's been well cared for. After about 10hrs of mowing the drive belt fragged. , A hunk about 6" long came out of the V side of the belt and it came off track. It looked like it was a few years...

After having bad luck with two out of three John Deere I’ve decided to look at Kubota’s My budget limit is about $1000 and I will be mowing about 2 acres. I’m willing to put some sweat equity in where needed to keep the thing running good and be reliable. currently I’m looking at a TG1760 with...

They both have Kawasaki engines and 48" decks but the LT has a good 17HP twin cylinder and the 245 has a 14HP with a bad sump gasket. The deck and trans in the 245 are higher quality than the Lt180 so I want to take the engine out of the LT and put it in the 245. After an initial look at the...

The steering it’s really easy there’s no wobble in the front axle bearings or wheel bearings but you have to turn the steering wheel about a quarter of a turn before the mower actually reacts and I believe the problem is in the lateral movement of the axle as you turn the wheel as shown in this...

We traded a pickup load of firewood for this. Previous owner says it has an oil leak somewhere around the oil filter and he started to remove the engine to effect repair but then decided to buy a new kubota and just pushed the JD to a corner of the garage where it sat for a couple years. #1 son...

Looking at the system a little there is just a single large red cable from the starter to the battery and a small red wire from the ign switch to the bendix. Where does the charge voltage come from and what is the Achilles heel in the charging system?

I installed a new fuel pump and this helped the problem, the fuel filter always remains at least half full even uphill with a near empty tank but intermittently it still runs rough and has a significant loss of power. I pulled the air cleaner and the air cleaner housing plate looking for some...

I tried new plugs but no difference, #1 son pulled the plugs and said they look fine but not identical, I haven't seen them yet. I think that the hour meter stops updating then updates before or after it starts running rough, I haven't narrowed down which yet. i smell a rich or unburnt fuel...

I know this may be to some extent a matter of opinion but rating and explaining the major differences in quality in the different product lines would be a very useful guide IMHO For instance the GT series appears to have a heavier deck than other lines made at the same time and the LX series...

Just curious if there is any consensus or rule of thumb concerning hours of use on air-cooled engines. On larger water cooled engines in Tractors I have used the formula that 1 hour = 50 miles and that seems to be a fairly good conversion rate but I don't think this will apply to aircooled...

Looked at a G100 with a 54" deck and a 25HP Kohler Command this evening. The steering is really stiff and will barely turn at all to the right. The front rims have slop at the axles and it looks like it just has plastic sleeves and not bearings. This all begs the question is this a Deere or...

Hey everyone I recently picked up an allis chalmers 914H with a K321 in it. I had to replace the points today because they were pretty burnt up. I can 't see how to adjust the gap on them and the owners manual does not go in to detail on this so I was wondering if a solid state module of some...

This is an Allis Chalmers that is a re-badged Simplicity. I put all new belts on it and a new generic EBay carb and changed the oil. It runs good and the plug looks good now. I might adjust the governor linkage a little in the near future but want to run it some more because it was sitting for...

My farm tractor tires are loaded for extra weight but I didn't pay much attention to the service guy when he loaded them. I figure there is some sort of venturi valve arrangement that will pump in the liquid and bleed off the air. I'm thinking about loading my rear Allis Chalmers 914H tires...

Put all new belts on it and a new generic EBay carb. it runs good and the plug looks good now. I might adjust the governor linkage a little in the near future but want to run it some more because it was sitting for some time before I bought it. The mower creeps slightly while in the center...

Found this mower on ebay markets for a really good price IF it can be repaired for less than $500. I tested it last night and this is what I found. It just doesn't move very well forward and not at all in reverse unless you drop the throttle down to idle.after you drop it to idle and get it...

I am going to look at this mower tonight the person selling it says it pops out of gear sometimes is this a major problem or can it be fixed easily?

This is a larger frame mower early mid 80's I believe I was told it had a 14HP Kohler K321 engine. This engine was also used in deere 212, 214 & 216 of the same age. Would an engine out of a Deere drop right in the Case?

One selling in a local online auction and going cheap. If it can fit other models I might pick it up!

We picked up the mower today, first thing we noticed was the trans linkage between the shifter and trans was disconnected. We got it hooked up but tractor still will not find neutral. We jacked up the rear end and spun the wheels while running the shifter lever back and forth but nothing broke...

I bought an old steel hood 111 mower for $30. it's been sitting outside for many years but is still cosmetically decent. It's got an 11HP Brigs in it and a 38" deck. I picked it up as a winter project for me and my 14yr old son. The motor is not seized but will not try to start till I flush...
