I’m searching for a good forum that addresses backpack blowers. I can’t find any assistance on this forum. Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong areas. I have an Echo PB580T backpack blower 3yrs old. It starts ok, 3 pulls, and runs fine. It starts and runs fine any where from as much as an hour...

Engine cuts out while mowing on slopes in one direction only. Lawn tractor is a Sears 917.270812 19.5hp opposing twin. When mowing with the uphill side of the slope on the left side of the tractor it runs fine. When going in the opposite direction when the uphill side of the slope is on the...

Well, it’s up and running fine. Surplus Center was fast on the shipping. Couldn’t ask for better service. Won’t hesitate to use them again!

Well, bit the bullet and ordered a new 206-545C transaxle from Surplus Center today. I’ll start tearing things down while waiting for it’s arrival. Should be interesting.

I understand and agree however I addressed the issue in the other thread because of the titled. I felt someone seeing it , 206-545c, would be more inclined to respond to it because it specifically addressed my transaxle. But you make a good point.

Got a box in easy reach. Within two feet! Along with butterfly closures! Seriously! You’re dealing with the guy that tried to cut his leg off with a chainsaw.

If I only need three rolls of blue paper towels then it must be a piece of cake. LOL!

I’ve been on the internet searching new and used units. I came across a company in Lincoln Nebraska called Surplus Center that has new units at a great price. Has anyone heard and had dealings with them.

A big thanks to all of you. Any special tools required other than standard mech. tools?

Thanks for your replies. I can be driving around on level ground and turn uphill and as soon as I turn uphill it starts. Both wheels are not spinning but kind of shuddering in a forward and then I reverse motion. This back-and-forth motion is roughly a half an inch either direction. Doesn’t...

I have the same transaxle in my 1999 917.270812 mower. It won’t go up hill. The wheels don’t spin but kind of shudders back and forth (foreword and reverse about 1/2” each way) like something is slipping inside the transaxle. There’s no squealing like the drive belt Is slipping. Does anyone...

I have a Craftsman riding mower 917.270812 19.5 hp 42” 6 speed that I bought new in 1999. Yup 1999. I’ve changed power drive and mower belts and battery a couple of times and rebuilt the carb but other than that it’s been a workhorse. At 74 I’ve had it for about a third of my life but like me...

I'm having problems with my Husqvarna 150BT blower. It runs fine for the for about 30 min then dies. I installed a new carb from amazon. It ran ok for one use that lasted about 45 min. When I used it the following weekend it ran for about 15 min then died and wouldn't start. I got a...

Well, carb kit arrived. I disassembled the carb and gave it another thorough cleaning. JMS180, thanks again for the carb link. It was really helpful! I reassembled the carb and installed it. Not wanting to take any chances I decided to clean out the fuel lines and fuel tank. I had to...

First of this is what I have: Craftsman Lawn Tractor model 917.270812 with a Briggs & Stratton model 42E707 type 2631-E1 code 9905035B engine. Here's the problem: The tractor had been running fine for years then for no apparent (at least to me) reason it started surging at Idle and low RPMs...
