I have a B & S 16 HP V Twin, MO. # 303777 it is on my JD LT 166 Mower, it had been running fine, today it started up, then acted like it was running out of gas, I choked it and it restarted, but died just as soon as it started, I removed the in line fuel filter, had good flow of gas to the...

I am wonder what a Good J D LT 166 Mower Deck is worth, it a 46in. cut, has never slept out side, good belt, not new but not bent up, ready to hook up and mow, what would be a fair price for it,

I have a 6 HP Tecumsen OHV Motor, ( ENDURO ) Spec. 7117 E -- Engine Family 2TPXS. 195B I pulled the bowl off the carb to clean it out, I didn't notice which way I took it off, which way does the flat off set in the bottom of the Bowl go, or does it make any difference? I figure it does, This...

Well we went ahead a got our ZTR, we had looked at Gravely, Ex Mark & Toro, the Gravely had to be taken off our list because the nearest Dealer was 35 Miles away, the Ex Mark & Toro were at the same Local Dealer about 15 miles away, we picked the Toro 3000 Series because of some features it has...

Today our New Toro 3000 Series ZTR was delivered, it looks to be a Beast, have it full of gas & will try it out later today, sure looks to be easy to service, Oil filter is easy to reach, & oil drain line is also very easy to reach, that has been some of the things I have noticed on some mowers...

Wondering if any of you have any Pro or Cons about this mower, I see a 2010 JD Z445 ZTR with a Kawasiki engine that has a 54 IN. Deck with 138 hr. listed for $ 4225, my question is what type Hdy Pump & Motors did this year have and what was the Oringal selling Price, is this a Heavy Duty Mower...

I had a Dealer that sells Both Ex Mark & Toro, tell me that Ex Mark owns Toro, that a Toro ZTR is about the same as a Ex Mark, Do any of you know anything about if this is True? Thanks for Your Input Rat

This Mower runs great when I start it up, go cut grass doing fine, after about 30 to 45 min it starts to lose some power & keeps getting worse making me slow down, if i stop & shut of the engine it will crank right back up, if i wait 15 sec and crank it back up it will run just fine for...
