Deere calls for a 42.25 X .5 belt... Can I just use a 42? Does the .25 really matter?

My mower stopped running today. When I turn it over there is a very loud double clunk with each rotation of the crank. So, I don't think I'll be taking the time to investigate. It has 800 hours and when I took the shroud off there was a lot of fur packed around the cylinders :(. So, I am sure...

I just pulled my high pressure washer out of winter storage. Check the fluids and filled it up. Choked it started it ran fine for about 15 seconds and then shut down. Acted flooded for a while started up again ran for 15 seconds and shut down this continued about 10 times in a row. I took the...

I installed a new carb on my mower and the choke doesn't work. Starts fine with starting fluid and runs fine. Starts fine when warm. Choke linkage doesn't appear to move when in choked position.

27HP Briggs So, I jacked up the front of the mower today to check the blades. I noticed there is a hose that comes out of the top of the valve cover (Breather?) and goes into a small roundish plastic puck (pump?) that has other hoses coming out of it... When it was jacked up there was fuel...

I recently bought the mower and proceeded to mow a 7 inch thick lawn.... The right blade deck pulley ended up stripping out and stripping out the spindle with it... I bought a new mandrel and pulley ($150) and replaced them. It lasted 5 minutes and did it again... So, I decided that I would make...

Just bought a 2006 z425 John Deere 48 inch zero turn mower for $1,500. They have 625 hours on the engine. It's not burning oil or smoking, but I'm thinking that 625 hours is probably getting to the end? So should I wait until it breaks or should I rebuild it? How much would it cost to have...

My friend's father has a Husqvarna zero turn z254f.. he backed up into a bunch of brush and a branch got stuck underneath he pulled it out and it would not move after that. The drive belt had fallen off the pulley. He put the drive belt back on and it hardly moves with a lot of chatter and the...

Whenever I tighten me carburetor bolts the governor starts sticking badly. I barely have enough tension on the bolts to keep the gasket sealed and still sticks unless I totally loosen. I have cleaned it out several times taking apart the air vane spring and everything polished everything put...

I have a Craftsman riders with a 18hp twin and stock muffler. How can I make it quieter?

I have 2 older Craftsman riders. One is a 6 speed with the shifter on the fender.. maybe hydrostatic? It has the brake/clutch spring puck assembly on the right side. The other is a gt6000 with the high/low 6/12 geared tranny... But it has a bad engine. The Gt6000 has a bunch or shielding around...

I have one of those black boxy trailers that are made to pull behind the mower. It has two horizontal pieces of metal at the end of the arm with a hole through them as a hitch. I would like to make a hitch on the Murray to extend back a few inches. Would love to see some do-it-yourself jobs that...

First the short vent… I have an old widow friend in my church that has an old craftsman five-speed hydrostatic LT 4000. She usually calls me when she has problems with that stuff, but she knew I was having physical problems at the time so she did not call. I called her on the phone to see how...
