old

I recently bought an old Southern States brand rototiller that has a 5HP B&S that is hard to start and fouls plugs. Model is 130202, Type 1915 01, Code 84120606. Looking inside the spark plug hole I can see quite a buildup of carbon. Compression is only 60 psi ( I work on a lot of old small...

Hello, The B&S engine on my Swisher Big Mow seized last year. I would like to get the engine rebuilt as the mower has sentimental value to me. I can find most parts except for the most important ones. I can't find the crankshaft, counterweight or cylinder assembly. I will list the model and...

Long shot, pictures to big to upload. Old blower, pbv200le 711848. Believe it's type 1. No spark, want to replace coil. Taken all apart down to removing nut on top of pull cord assembly casing . This is connected to crankshaft. How do I go about it? Is it a puller? Cord in plug hole to stop...

Our 20+ year old lawn needs to be replaced. The proposed landscaper/gardener suggested that we mow the lawn to an inch length, and spray with "Ortho GroundClear Weed and Grass Killer" which has 40% Ammonium Nonanoate and no RoundUp. The label doesn't indicate that one can lay down sod right...

I picked up this motor on a 7,000w Dayton generator at an estate sale. It was still in the box so never been used. It was manufactured in 1999 I believe or close to that. I did a quick look at the carburetor and all the seals look fine. I have a rebuild kit if I can even get that far. I put a...

Hi I have a 15 year old Lawn boy walk-behind mower that will run for 3-5 minutes and then dies. I pushed the bulb that feeds gas to the carburetor (No Choke) and it does run for a few more minutes. I have removed the float bulb, flushed out the gas, and that made it run for about 30 minutes...

People, I have a MTD rider mower, and the parts list shows the belt guards as 783-0343A. Usually, ebay or amazon has such parts but I could not find my part #. UNLESS there is a parts # change. Can anyone advise on this? Should I be looking for a new part # for my 2 guards? Thanks, people.

I’ve looked around the frame and the engine for a serial number with no luck. The only thing I found is this label. When I do an online search, it returns that it was manufactured between 97 and 99 but the pictures on all the sites are completely different from what my tractor looks like. I...

People, I have an edger, with B&S engine Model 80202, TYPE 1830-01, CODE 87013103. 3 HP. I am not able to attach a picture as I am computer illiterate. Thats why I posted as link below to the diagram, carb is 4th page down on the link. The carb has a plastic tube with a very fine filter...

This machine is going to kill me. It breaks down every time I start it. I can usually figure out what it needs, but this time I'm confused. Turf Tiger with 29 hp Kawasaki engine, but now, the mowing deck locks up when you pull the PTO switch out to engage. Smoke pours out of the rear of the...

I inherited a Lambert lawn sweeper, but the hamper (bag) is completely shot. The sweeper is a Lambert “Apollo”, 31- inch width, model ST-411. I would be overjoyed to find a compatible hamper. Barring that, I would welcome any advice on making a new one: material, fabrication techniques, pattern...

I have an old Onan, 11 HP generator that has tipped over and crushed the pull rope plastic spin holder inside the front cowling. Does anyone know where I could obtain a photo to prevent my having to transport the generator to the shop to request repair assistance. I have a cheap Tracfone and...

Cleaning out the garage and I'm getting rid of things I won't need. I have an old mower carb and metal fuel tank. Very little rust inside. I don't know what it is from. It was something my dad saved for about 30 years. See pics. If you want any more pics, let me know. There are no model numbers...
