I picked this up last fall & easily got it mow-ready. Previous owner said it hadn't been used since the 70's! Haven't been able to find much info on it to help me decide whether I should keep it as a conversation piece or sell it to a collector. Any help would be fantastic!

All - Working on a 1990 White R-10 Rear Engine rider that multiple "mechanics" have already "worked on". It has a 10 hp B/S & 32" deck and is in really good shape. Only the problem I have is the wiring harness...It comes of the ignition switch & splits with one portion going to the brake...

Crank bent (large rock). A lot of good parts. Anyone looking for parts?

Customer brought me a fantastic CC that they "forgot" to check oil in. Ran great until it didn't. Anyone looking for parts?

Hello All & Thanks In Advance for Any Assistance! Neighbor asked me to check out his Lawn-Boy 10358 after his lovely wife tried to mow over a softball sized decorative stone! I started the mower & it ran but had a terrible sound from under the deck. Found that the blade adapter was broken...

Just picked up a LT155 at an estate sale!!! After power washing five years worth of barn dust & bird crap off of it, I found a near mint ride!! Drained old fuel, cleaned carb, replaced spark plug & installed a new battery & gave it a try (without adding fuel)...It cranks over perfectly with...

Just obtained a classic Lawn Chief 1136 but can't find any info on it! (Model 9-1136S Date/Mfg 3-36513X57 0173)...Is it a 1973? Is there a site that may have manuals? This thing is a high 7 on a scale of 10!

Can anyone tell me if a Peerless 920 005A can be used to replace a Peerless 801 060? Found the 920 for cheap but haven't had any luck finding the 801...HELP!?!?!?!?

Kinda of leery of messing with any of the electrical system - It was toast when I got the machine (mice had used the area under the battery as a hotel for a couple of years) & it cost me about 12 hours and $300 to replace everything...I'm hoping that I'm just an idiot who has installed the belt...

KK - You're a life saver!!! As far as performance - Nothing seems to be wrong with the engine...A lot of power...A lot of speed...But, when I engage the blades, it comes to a complete stop! Also, just idling, the belt smells smoky...Almost like the belt is too small but it seems to fit...

Nearly finished with my new toy: 1993 Western Auto Wizard. Replaced spindles & idlers on the deck but every time I engage the blade it kills the motor. Any ideas?

Will a 145/70-6 tire fit a 15x6.00-6 rim? I just inherited an LX172 from my Grandfather. It needs work but cuts FANTASTIC. However, the front tires (15-6.00-6) are bald & I'm thinking about putting some knobbies on it but the only size I found locally is 145/70-6. Can anyone tell me the...

Good Morning All! Earlier this week I bought a B/S 313707 16.5 hp Motor from a neighbor because I was in need of a starter. Now, I have (from what I am told) a perfectly good motor taking up valuable floor space in my shop. Here is all I know: Again, from what I've been told, the motor...

My buddy & I operate a small mowing service in our hometown (population 800) - we have 12 lawns we care for weekly. Two of the mowers we use are 2008 42" Craftsman & both run fantastic! However, one of them wears out both front tires EVERY YEAR while the other is still running on the originals...

My name is Donnie B & I am a lawn tractor junkie. My latest binge is a Western Auto Wizard that I acquired for $50. My last binge was an STX38. I'm always chasing my next fix. Thank you for providing a forum to increase my knowledge & get ideas.
