I'm Jim,
Don't have anything much to say, just logging in on the page. I bought my Huskie last year and it replaced a very old Sears with a cast iron tranaxle and a Onan twin cylinder engine. So far the Huskie has surprised everyone. Although it doesn't have the lawn tractor rear tires, it's one model below, it still pulls admireably and mowes much better than my old sears. It's also my easier to control. I do need to build something to extend the hitch out past the rear tires so when I pull my leaf vac it can turn sharper, but that will be it for modifications.

Howdy from East Texas!

Got a LGT2654 in 2008. A bit of overkill since I should have gotten something a bit narrower. She is used more for property cleanup dragging a a small trailer than cutting grass. The front yard is a bit rough so I leave the heavy stuff to the Kubota L3400. Its orange too!

I have a Husqvarna 702 1RD rear wheel that pulled up hills on my lot really well. However, at the end of the summer it was slipping and not pulling as well. Any advice for this season?

Hi to everyone,

I am hoping somene has an older Husqvarna self-propelled mower. Mine is an H56srqc and is about 18 years old. Since the engine is still good I'd thought I'd clean it up. Now, because I'm not that bright, I can't remember where everything goes. Does anyone have a pic of how the controls on the handle fit. I can't seem to figure out how the traction control fits back on. There's a few pictures in my album of the problem.

thanks very much,

Pete

Hi all, I did figure it out and get it working. I finally found a pic of the drive belt mechanism and found i had routed the belt incorrectly. all seems welll now, except for the carburator but that shouldn't be a problem as it is a Briggs and there's lots of info on them.

take care.

I look forward to being a part of this forum. I have an 80 acre horse farm in Kentucky and have retired in this beautiful state. I have 6 riding mowers. I have a 2011 Craftsman 54' with the Briggs 26 hp engine, 2007 Husqvarna 2348 with a 48 inch cut and a Briggs 23 hp engine, a
Husqvarna 150 with a 42 inch cut and an 15 hp. engine, a Craftsman with a 42 inch cut and an 18 hp engine. I also have 2 vintage collectable riding mowers: I have a 1974 John Deere 57 with a 7 hp engine and a 36 inch cut. I also have a 1978 Simplicity Cavalier with a 10 hp engine and a 32 inch cut.

I try to do as much work on my own mowers as possible. Any help that I can get from this forum will be appreciated.
