thanks but the parts would not retrofit so not worth looking it up. it is not a real big deal i was just curious to see if that option was available then i would look into a retrofit on that troy built machine. thanks

ok that answers that question. how ever the sears i have also is a solid axle and that steers on the output end of that axle. they used some type of clutch system on the sears. so i was curious if the troy built had that also as a upgrade. anyway we will have to deal with it, it still is better...

i have this troy built model 2410 and i would like to add steering to it. now the steering that you pull a trigger on the bar and it disengages that wheel so you can turn in that direction easier with the help of the wheel that is still driving. i looked on the troy built site and of course that...

i did not see that type at lowes and home depo had something similar but not the exact mix. lowes is like 2 miles away and home depo about 14 miles but i may have to pay them a visit if i do find that exact mix in there online site. it looks like Lowes does have it so i will stop and see. it...

thanks i wonder if lowes has that? i can look on there site and see. i want to get this done soon as i have leaves now on the grass and i can over seed by hand or use my spreader and get it mostly covered before the leave fully cover the grass. thanks i found this at lowes what do you think of...

the yard is good but you know if i patch just those spots the dogs will move to other places so re seeding the yard would help prevent the new spots if i can find a grass seed that i can toss on the lawn and have it manage to work its way to the dirt and the sprout. but i have to find a grass...

i live in muskegon mi. and i have a fenced in yard that the 2 small dogs use for ther duties. and as you guessed i have the normal spots starting. what i would like to do is reseed over those spots or even the complete backyard with a grass the is just dog pee proof. i water 2 times a week for...

i did say my location in the last part but muskeon michigan. i also stated scotts turf builder grass seed tall fescue is the local stores choice and also for the scotts website, however there may be a better choice. i did watch a YT for zoisa grass but that may not do well as it take a long...

yes i can water the dickens out of the areas but that becomes high maintenance. so much that turning the back yard into sand would be better. that is why i'm looking for grass that can take this abuse. thanks

ok it seems i have spots from the dogs peeing in the yard. is there a grass that is tolerant to this? if so what type and can t be spread over the existing lawn or will ihave to till the lawn under and start over? it is pointless to just reseed the spots because as soon as i do they will just...

\[ i will see tomorrow. it is possible the battery i think i miss stated the battery size it is a 230 cca battery i guess i can get a 340 cca for it that should do a much better job of it. tomorrow morning i will try it again and see if it cranks over hard. it is possible it was discharged a...

ok i do not think the 10 volt drop is accurate because my other mower a twin with the same size battery drops to under 10 volts and that starts perfectly. anyway i took the ground and it was good and the solenoid and starter wires off and they looked good but i cleaned them and tightened them...

thanks i did not think of taking a reading on the battery as it cranks. i figured if the load test show the battery tested good that would be plenty and it's not that high for cranking amps. i did check the ground and it tight but i will just take it off and make sure it is not rusted and i...

ihave this craftsman rider the 917.273350 with the 16 hp ohv engine. it is hard to crank over. once it starts cranking it will start hot of cold but it just does not want to start to crank. i load tested the battery it is a 200cca battery and i let the test run for 30 seconds and it did not drop...

thanks i got the intake done and will do the exhaust when the part gets here. the cylinder honed out good the rod is in good shape the crank is in good shape. so i do not want to take a chance on a used engine as that may be in the same condition. so based on what i have in front of me i got...
