Just an aside notation: A belt doesn't actually "stretch", but rather wears from the "V" side and therefore gets loose from aforementioned reason. My son had anLT 1042 Cub Cadet (MTD) that did almost the same thing. Put it away in the fall, working fine, but the next spring it kept throwing the...

This may be totally off, but my x320 wouldn't start, but would run on carb spray. I checked the manual, and apparently there is some kind of emission control garbage on the engine. The fuel cap has to be turned until it "clicks", (I turned mine until I heard 2 clicks) Viola! It started and ran...

We used to call that a "Code77". On the old OBD code readers, a code77 was "operator error"!

I just finished up getting an older Lawn Boy running for a friend of my sons. When I showed him that it would indeed run, I turned the lever on the back to "heavy", which of course increased the speed. He said, and I quote " why would turning the choke on increase the speed?" Someone told him...

I get them every Wednesday. Not sure why some of you that are well known to us all, aren't getting them?

Probably peeing into the wind with this, but are you sure the blades on the used deck are installed correctly? I know from what the older children told me that blades can be accidently installed upside down. (OK I admit it was me)!

Come on guys! Put them back into your britches and lets move on please? This pissing contest is silly and immature. Rivets, I respect your knowledge and willingness to help, and Kirok, you could have handled this a bit better also. So what do you say fellas? Please?

Go to https//partscatalog.deere.com Type in your model of tractor (140) and it tells you the part number (AM31289) or (AM34838) depending on serial number. hope this helps. P.S. I usually get the part number and then do a search on Amazon or E Bay to save a buck or two.

When you see the flash from the nuclear blast You duck and cover Duck and cover We have been afraid of nuclear war with Russia since I was in first grade! That was 63 years ago! They taught us this jingle so we wouldn't be afraid of nuclear war.

Funny, but I was under the impression that this was a LAWN MOWER FORUM, not a political discussion forum. Maybe it's opposite day or something? Or am I missing the point?

If you have an angled fuel tank filler cap the part number appears to be AM136610 and E Bay has them for $80.00 to $85.00 If it is the straight filler the number is AM 132755 and that appears to be the one that takes all the other parts and is very expensive. Keep watching E Bay or try to find...

Try this website for parts and schematics. http//partscatalog.deere.com get the part number and then try e bay

Hi guys! I have a John Deere 180 with the Kawasaki engine. The charging system is giving me fits! I put the body pan on, and managed to pinch some wires due to incorrect routing of same. This caused a "no crank" condition that was corrected by removing the body pan and re splicing some pinched...

Thanks for the help guys! I found a loose purple wire other than the one to the solenoid. spliced it with a red wire from the switch and viola! Appreciate all the help! Thanks again!
