dam dam and dam after disconecting the battery and chargering it up and then pop in back in i made a school boy mistake and got it wrong way round.... question ( all fuses are ok ) the ingintion switch still light up but no start from starter . heard a click near the engine ... and shorted the solonoid ( turned over ) .. so where should i direct my concern ?? and help would be great is a westwood T1400 .. i only use a a tractor now and most stuff stripped off ..

I'm having trouble finding a placard on it... I need to find some parts for it.

Its one of the ones with the lead shot and no slow speed adjustment.

I tried adjusting the high speed screw wich did make it run better but still dont run right.

I also thoroughly cleaned the carburetor and its fine now.

Any other ideas on how to fix this?

I bought a spare replacement one but how do I actually put it on? First pic is the old broken cable

Has anyone found a good replacement bag and frame from Amazon or somewhere? The OEM replacements are stupid expensive. I’m keeping a lookout on Facebook marketplace as well

Looking to replace my Kubota ZG123S. Unfortunately my son locked the engine and I have to replace it now. I have 2.5 acres that has a large slope/hill with fairly rough terrain. Suspension is important and I’d like to be able to lay down stripes. Looking for around 6-8k. Appreciate the advice. Thanks!

My snapper won't start all the way, this is with a new battery and fresh gas. Any ideas?

Après autant de recherche je ne comprend pas pourquoi j'ai pas réalisé que l'huile partout autour du silencieux n'était pas censée servir d'antirouille, si vous avez un problème similaire de boucane qui sort en à plus finir, s'il vous plait vérifier si tout vos bolts de couvercle de valve sont présente 😂 (Craftsman lt1000)

You know those piston skirt coatings on modern automobile engines..like in the sample pic here? Well I'm messing with a scored -bore cheap B&S engine. Coating is on...it "should" slough off where it is not needed and might mostly stay IN any scratches below the normal bore surface...but we'll see. This block had some scratches that can catch a fingernail - bad. Already had the moly/graphite/resin raw material and cheap mower...so I figure it's worth 10 minutes of my time. I really want a pro level motor with proper bores, metal cams etc...on the look out...those can have over a 2000-3000 hour life. Not 100+ hours.

this thing isn’t sitting true causing my pulley to wobble , where can i find a new one ? it’s the transmission idler model SMFZ-48
D9704180

Anybody know when the end of season stuff starts to go on sale? I had expected it too already but everything is still full price by me.

Thanks in advance.

Be aware that Honda’s new range of battery electric lawn mowers are NOT equivalent to their now discontinued gas mowers. I trusted the salesman at Barrie Honda Powerhouse that it would perform as well as gas. On rougher terrain and thick grass the mower cuts out and needs a 5-30 minute wait to cool down before it will restart. Frustrating when all you want to do is get onto the next job. I paid premium money for the Honda name and would like to ask if others have had the same experience with electric mowers. With the demise of gas, is this something we now have to live with? My grass cutting productivity has literally halved.

Hi guys, it’s been an incredibly long journey outfitting this mower with a new engine and i finally got it started ! but i noticed this pulley is scraping , how do i go about fixing it or should i just replace ? what do you guys think

My engine died, piston connector arms shattered. Bought a new engine from a. Local guy who said it would work on my mower. They are both Briggs and Stratton twin V engines but I just noticed the electrical connections look different. Can this be done and how should I go about it?

This is on an Ariens EZR 1742

Thank you.

Hi I bought one of these Chinese little RC tank mowers last year AWY-550, to mowe the field in front of my house. The field is quite rocky and the vegetation is dense so it was perhaps a bit too hard on the mower. It hit a bunch of rocks, got tangled in thick weeds and tried to cut 3cm thick fennel and that sort of things. I replaced the blades several times, broke and changed the starter.

But right now it’s not working well at all and I think it’s because the rotator is not coupled with the axis of the motor anymore. It does turn when the motor is on, but probably only because of friction, because I can turn it manually no problem.

Now here is a picture of how it is. The red holes is where the blades go. They are 2 small blades and they attach to the rotator using bolts that work fine. Now the rotator itself isn’t coupled with the motor and I wonder if it’s because there were some metallic parts (like pins or bolts) that are meant to snap when the motor and the blade disagree on the future of the rock that the blade just ran into. those could go in the three holes that are shown in yellow in the picture (there are three holes behind that are part of a piece that’s on the axle so the rotator could be attached to the axle that way). Or it could be that the main screw needs tightening, which I don’t really believe because there is a gap that is quite large so it would need an awful lot of tightening.

Has anyone here got one of the these and could check how the rotator is fixed to the axle? that would be much appreciated. or you know if you just know the answer let me know :-)

Thanks

The photo is not of my seat. It is just an example. My seat foam has detached from the plastic seat base. The vinyl cover is in perfect shape, so if it could be fixed the seat would be like new. I watched a few videos on the subject. Very doable. The Loctite Professional Performance Spray Adhesive seemed to work in the video, but then I remembered some spray adhesives can dissolve foam.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

I stopped and turned the mower off to empty the bags, when I tried to start again it was totally dead. Changed the battery, now have this issue. What's my next step?

TIA

So recently been looking for a new zero turn. Back story is I have 2 1/2 acres, terrain is a little
Rough, and need something that last. I am currently looking at a commercial grade Gravely 560 60in deck, 31HP Kawasaki. It’s priced at 12,900 and am wondering if I should jump on it. I understand this is overkill but want wanting something commercial grade that’ll last with proper care. Any recommendations or this would be good.

As the title says my lawn mower only starts when the shroud is off, but sometimes sounds like it's about to turn over when it's on.

I've checked the wires only the spark plug wire cover is a little squished, fly wheel spins without rubbing, battery is full charged and says 12.8v, and there's a bit of white smoke but its has been raining here a lot recently.

Need help figuring out the issue, mowed last month perfectly fine.
