I just had a turf tiger come in with broken wheel studs and the lug nut holes are all oblong. The wheel motor hub is different than the exmark, and they don't list the studs in the parts breakdown. Using my airhammer I drove one of them out and the spline part of those studs are much shorter...

I am seeing more and more electric mowers, trimmers, hedgers, blowers, and chainsaws used by pro gardeners. The best by far is by "Core". I am having problems with the switch that starts it. Once it gets wet, the control is intermitant until it dries out. Anyone have any thought or suggestions...

I am posting this question "here" because I know there are a "lot" of knowledgeable people on this board. My truck has a windshield that has been badly sand blasted from being in the desert in its early years. Driving into the sun or oncoming headlights is very dangerous. Anyone know of a way...

Some time ago one of my accounts purchased a Wright Centauer ride/stand on mower. It is the same as the one used in that auto insurance commercial. "All" the belts are proprietery to this machine. Off the top of my head, one of them is 5/8 X 640mm. I can't find that size except from Wright. On...

In the 90's I did the maintence at a golf course and they had some of these National lawn mowers used for slopes and uneven terrain. They are the most user friendly mowers. Very simple old school belt and jack shaft design with 3 articulating reels. Reel mowers are the best type of mower for a...

I have just run across my 4th (this season) very expensive chain saw to come into my shop for repairs with the engine $hot. The reason? It was never cleaned. Very few realize that after cutting "any" organic material, and if not cleaned, as the organic material decomposes, the acids that...

I don't know what it is about this engine, but I have found no less than 10 broken intake push rods all in different engines. The intake is aluminum, and the exhaust is steel. I have switched the aluminum to steel with no apparent problems. I contacted Briggs and they said that it saves 14 cents...

I was just working on a fairly new edger with a 3 1/2 HP Briggs engine with starter problems. I got out my old starter clutch removal tool and was shocked to see that after almost 40 years of a tried and true starting system, they switched to the plastic "pawl" type system which is doomed to...

Hey I'm new here and have been wrenching on turf equipment for over 30 years. I have replaced many carbs on the FS-90R trimmers, and I just went to replace another, they have changed the design to where you need a special tool to adjust. Stihl told me that the EPA directs them to now sell new...
