Howdy all. My mower struggles to go up small inclines and I can feel a stutter from the left side. I also have to pull back on the right handle to keep it going straight. I changed the hydro fluid and filter. I cut the filter open and there's small metal pieces in it. So how do I tell if it's...

Howdy all. Model # 107.277700 Kolher 18HP and 50'' deck. Bad leak at trans oil reservoirs apparently since new from what P.O. said. He had Sears work on it twice under warranty but to no avail. Any ideas on a fix. I don't see any cracks. Thanks all

Howdy all, I recently picked up an Encore 36'' walk behind for repair and resell. Initially the engine could not be turned over with the pull starter, pulled the plug and air filter, sprayed PB blaster in spark plug hole and poured Marvel Mystery oil down the intake and let it set for a few...

Howdy all. I have a model 31F777 17HP (busted rod) and 31F707 18HP (flat intake cam lobe) that I mixed and matched parts to make the 31F707 18HP run. I checked all part numbers on B&S website prior to starting this project and all numbers where the same. Basically this is what I did, I used the...

Howdy all. Recently picked up these 2 mowers to repair and flip :biggrin: The 50 had the left hydro removed and partially disassembled, the 42 has a blown 17hp Briggs. So I checked Cub Cadets and this is what I determined. First here's the model numbers RZT 50 17BA5A7P712. RZT 42 17BA5A4G709...

Howdy all. 25HP Kohler in a Craftsman GT5000 rider. This mower had been sitting a couple of years before I bought it. This is what I did before attempting to start engine, removed air filter, removed plugs and verified spark on both sides, noticed plugs where very a dark brown, checked...

Howdy all. Up for your consideration is a very nice zero turn. Located in N. Virginia zip code 20112. 42'' deck, the original Kawasaki engine busted a rod so I installed a 150 hour 20HP Briggs V twin in it. This has the fabricated deck and individual pumps and motors, definitely not a big box...

I fabbed together a old 4' Craftsman snow plow to fit my 42'' Husqvarna zero turn. Worked half way decent in 5-6'' of snow and sure beats my old 22'' MTD snow blower.

Howdy all, I'm replacing the oil pan/crankcase cover on a FS600v-BS13 and the parts manual calls for liquid gasket part # 92104-7001. A small tube is almost 40 bucks, what's an acceptable alternative? I'm thinking ultra black by Permatex. Thanks all

Howdy Chuck. This is the only photo I have of the deck and it's hard to see the damage. I supported the frame with some steel plates and took my 20# sledge hammer a gave it a couple of whacks. Then I took some heavy duty welding clamps and finished the fine tuning with them. Came out pretty...

Howdy all and thanks for the great forum! I purchased a used SWZ52V that was involved in an accident. It bent the engine deck and cracked the motor sump/oil pan :frown: Last night I pulled the engine and removed the oil pan and searched ebay for a used replacement, found one for $55 + shipping...

Howdy all. Found this great forum while searching for hot fuses on a Skag zero turn. I buy, repair and resell many types of lawn care equipment as a hobby and a little extra cash. Yup I admit it, I'm a lawn mower flipper LOL. :laughing: Looking forward to posting here and hopefully I can be of...
