Interesting, thanks Bert. Run out the gas? Then remove the carburetor and fuel line to dry everything out? Blow out the carb and fuel line with an air compressor? Or is it more involved than that?

I've got a TS248XD that runs well 98% of the time. It occasionally bogs down and almost stalls, usually when going down hill. But that is rare...maybe once every 4-6 hours of mowing. This past weekend, it started to lose momentum while going up hill. Engine speed and cutting were normal. Seems...

I've got a TS248XD with welded deck and mulching kit. I have a couple acres and lots of oak trees, so am constantly running over small sticks. I also mulch my leaves in the fall. I am looking for some heavier duty blades with a bit more mulching capability and durability. I was looking at the...

Is it best to adjust the anti-scalp wheels based on your standard cutting height? Ie, since I typically cut on level 5, should I adjust the wheels using that height as the baseline?

Awesome, thanks.

Any idea how to remove this black retainer ring without destroying it? I've got a mulching kit installed and would like to remove the side discharge cover so that I can get the deck closer to stuff when cutting. It's mounted on a clear cut deck.

Mower is back in action. Happy 4th...almost Miller time!

I just watched a 10 year old kid on you tube fix one. He basically greased the ball and socket, knocked it in the hole, then peened the perimeter with a ball peen hammer. I'll give that a shot.

Rotated the PTO, looks good...no rubbing. Any suggestions on salvaging the tie rod for another cut? I tried squeezing it back closed with a c clamp, thought I had is set back in the hole, but it popped out.

Ah, so the clutch should be rotated 90 degrees to the left? Remove the bolt, drop the clutch, rotate 90 degrees, and reinstall?

The numbers are worn, so I'm not exactly sure. I have a manual for 917.272410 which seems close. My engine is a 20 HP Kohler, not the 18 shown on the manual. I think the tie rod that was on there may not have been the correct model. The replacement I ordered matched the one that was on...

I replaced a PTO clutch a few months ago and have since had the tie rod break twice. I noticed there was some wear on the tie rod where it had been rubbing the PTO clutch. I have the PTO clutch up as high as I can get it on the shaft, but am not sure if it is up all the way, see photo below...

I had a belt pop off and wrap around the clutch. After removing it and replacing the belt, it no longer works. It does turn, but barely and makes some sort of rattling noise. Any idea what is happening?

I had my deck belt somehow hop off the clutch and got caught above the pulley. It was totally shredded and I had to cut it up to remove it. I noticed the clutch wire was disconnected, so I plugged it back in. Now my mower won’t start. I can’t figure out what is happening, here is what I’ve...

Hi All: I am looking for a LTX1000 manual in PDF format but can't locate the correct one online. Any suggestions where to look? I need to replace the belts and am looking for the specs on sizes etc. Thanks!

I’ve got a Craftsman LTX1000 mower that I am currently using. I am begging my old husqvarna to the dump. I’ve salvaged the belts which were new, the seat, and rear tires. Any other items I should salvage before bringing it? Mower deck?

If I hold the key to the right too long, I get a little smoke, I believe from the starter. Does that make any sense?

I bought an old Craftsman LTX1000 on Craigslist. When running, it cuts well, but then it dies. Seems like it’s running out of gas, but there is still a little in the tank. When I refill, it starts, but then stalls when I have it on fast and try to mow. It will idle on choke. It will idle on...

My brakes weren’t working well and they finally failed the other day while mowing. I just replaced the brakes, but the wheels still turn when the brake is applied. I’ve tightened down the middle bolt on the brake assembly to make sure the pads were contacting the rotor, to the point while the...

I bought a used Craftsman LTX1000 tractor and the brakes barely work, so I going to replace them. The rear tire is stuck on the shaft, so I am replacing the brakes with the tire in place. I got the bolts out and removed the caliper. How do I get the rotor off, so that i can remove the inner...

I took my mower (2006 Husqvarna 42" tractor) out of the shed to tune it up for the season. It started right up. I drove it out of the shed so I could work on it and left it in neutral while I ran to grab a rag. I was greasing the fittings when it started to make a clunking noise and suddenly...
