Thank you! I'll pick up a right hand battery then. I'll also try to find a bungee cord or something to keep it from moving. Is there a chart or something for me to find out when this mower was manufactured?

I found a decent 3011X5S today, and I'm hoping it doesn't require much to get going. There isn't a battery on it, and since I'm not an expert on the required CCA, could someone tell me what the CCA would be for the 12 volt battery that I need? Can anyone tell me how old it is? It seems to have...

I think the leveling was a success. It only step cuts on areas that are horribly unlevel on my property...everywhere else looks great!

Got the level in today. I hope to get it leveled this week. I'll post again if I end up having issues, but don't foresee any. I experimented with cutting at level 3 for an actual cut of 2.5 inches above ground. Cutting at an actual 3 inches seemed too tall for my grass, and because it grows so...

This is as far as I can get them to open without holding them back with a rope or bungee cord. I open the plastic one, hold it open, then open the metal one and turn it until it gets in the notch that lets it stay open on its own. Here is a pic of the chute, as well as my hopper. I assume I put...

I finally decided to get a bagger since I have so much hay in my yard. For some reason, it would only pick up a few hand-fulls of grass when I used it for the first time. I ended up needing repairs on my LA115, and told the repair man about my issue. He looked at the blades that came with the...

Does anyone know where I can find a kit for an Onan 14 HP engine carburetor for my Toro Wheelhorse 72040? It runs pretty good, but I'm having trouble with the float sticking when I refill the tank with gas. I cleaned the carburetor, including all the parts and needle. I'm thinking the needle...

The book for my John Deere LA115 says to use general purpose grease, but I find that grease doesn't last long. So my question is, would it be a good idea to switch to high temp. grease?

The ball joint/steering linkages on my Toro Wheel Horse model 72040 broke at the ball joints that connect to the gear sector. The mower was and still is in rough shape, but I've managed to fix everything so far... now I have this problem. I went to steer and they both broke right at the ball...

Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to find the drive belt routing diagram for a model 72040? I'm having a bit of trouble figuring it out and none of the books I have include the diagram. Thanks in advance!

Sure do! A lot of my family are in Eunice. My Parrain had Olivier's Pawn Shop years ago. My deceased dad was a musician and played steel guitar with the late great Phil Menard and many others. Anyways...here are the pics. I took a few to see how it's only cutting through one guard.

Mine has plastic deck belt guides, and the pulleys keep cutting through them until I eventually have to replace them. Is this normal? If not, what can I do to fix this? It's been doing this since it was brand new, so I'm sure it's not a maintenance issue. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I recently purchased a brand new Craftsman 30cc 4 cycle weed eater. This is the exact model: http://www.sears.com/30cc-4-cycle-gas-powered-trimmer/p-07173197000P I would like to know if there is a blow up view of the parts available because the manual doesn't have one. I saw this video on...

Are you positive? It seems to look just like the first one pictured in the parts manual, in my opinion. Part number 4.760-542.0 on pages D4 and E4.

I'm not sure if those would work on this model pressure washer. Attached is a picture of mine. It looks way different from the one in the link. I purchased a replacement hose and gun set, and the original wand did not fit for the new gun. According to the technician that I talked to afterwards...
