I mentioned this a long time ago about wanting to make a washable air filter for a B&S 14 to 17.5 hp engine. Well looks like K&N is now making them: https://www.knfilters.com/air-filters/33-2450-replacement-air-filter Kind of pricey but last time I bought an OEM disposable paper filter, it was...

This post originally started out as "Briggs and Stratton parts compatibility" thread. The goal was to use the recoil starter mechanism from a 2000 14HP engine that threw a rod (after only 2 or 3 years) and use it on a 15HP engine that came from the factory without a recoil starter. The 14 hp...

Just a heads up on something. I'm sure I'll figure it out once I get into it. I bought a Snapper riding mower used (~2 years old when I got it) which I've since sold. I believe it was built in 2000 or 2001. The engine made it through the summer until fall before it threw a rod through the...

Battery on laptop went dead before I could upload the pics:

Sorry for cross posting this but I'm not real sure where this belongs. Whether it be in the Craftsman's forum or under the company that built it for Sears. Here's my question...

1999 Husqvarna built/ Sears Craftsman with a 46" deck. I can't remember the model number but can get it. It's out in my storage building and it's pouring down rain at the moment. A few years ago I came too close to something and broke the weld on the left hand deck hanger. I welded it back and...

15.5 I/C OHV engine, 2005 model. Well that was when the mower was built. Assuming it's the original engine. I acquired this Murray riding mower. Every now and then when I start the engine, the starter motor will spin but the bendix won't engage in the flywheel. The reason I believe this is I...

I just unloaded the biggest piece of crap the other day but may have gotten something just as bad in return. I bought a Polaris Magnum 425 from a co-worker before I realized this thing was going to require a ton of work to get it going, although I estimated it would cost around $100 in parts to...

This is a follow up to a project I started back in the spring (with photos): https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/showthread.php/48821-Free-storage-structure!?p=314543#post314543 So I got my storage building pretty much complete. I had to wait until October to finish it up due to the heat. Throwing...

I've seen YouTube videos of people running non flex fuel vehicles on E85. These are fuel injected engines. The fuel cap on my mower says not to use anything above E10. I haven't seen E85 in awhile around here. Not sure if I could even find it if I wanted to. There are some conflicting sources...

This maybe common knowledge I don't know. So the other day I adjusted the valves on my Troy Bilt (MTD) that originally came from Lowes and decided to mow my entire yard with it. It had sat in my yard barn since last spring. I think after the float valve stuck, hydro-locked the engine, caused...

Does anybody know right off hand how much wattage the magneto produces on a 21 hp Intek Briggs? This would be on a lawnmower without a power take off. Reason I ask is I'm going to build me a shade cover for my Husquvarna. It already has mounting holes for one, but I'm going to make my own out...

I realize I've posted some crazy ideas and stuff on here but maybe this tops it all. Can you guess what the original purpose of these 12 panels were used for? I got these from my job. They were going to throw them away but I asked if I could have them and got them for free.

Here's my redneck fix of the day: So in another post I was complaining that I don't get the life out of a lawn mower battery that most people get. Most likely due to my bumpy yard. And I was needing a battery for my Troy Bilt MTD lawnmower but because it is my backup mower hated to invest in a...

You know how the Chinese like to change letters around while using the same font to fool people that their knock offs are the same thing. Some examples: Sharpei instead of Sharpie markers and Memex instead of Memorex cassette tapes (as far back as the 1980s). Well now I have seen it all...
