greasing all the Zerks seemed to get it to settle down. I guess I got the spindles to spin a little easier and lowered the inertia.

John Deere Multi-Purpose HD Lithium Complex Grease Grease-Gard™ Premium Plus Is there anything special about this grease? Can I use any grease? I have marine grease, can I use that? and do I use one of the other or do they each have a different purpose?

Dropped the deck again today. double checked it was the right belt, hand spun all of the pulleys. watched videos. everything seems like it operates correctly. I did see a video of the one handed mower guy starting a similar one and his did give a good shake before the blades engaged. I'm...

I changed the broken belt on a JD X330. I don't think it matters, but the old blades were chipped, broken and they were dullest blades I have ever seen. (not my mower, helping a friend). The old blades and belt were original and lasted 3 years. In the past when the blades were engaged there...

Hard to tell on the video, but I am cutting on a slope so big that I tried to sit on the fender to keep from sliding off the seat. When I did that the seat safety started to shut the engine off, so I sat on the seat and the mower backfired. She is an oil burner, so before the cut I added oil...

I have turned my push mowers on their side to get oil out and this never happens. This mower was fine after.

So I bought a new needle and float and installed them. I have not tested them to see if they are functioning property. I did cut grass when the needle tip was broken off, so I assume the needle was not working at all at that time. The mower ran properly and I shut off the fuel as soon as I...

I don't have a pump like that, but I blew on it with my mouth and it seemed ok!

I've been using the fuel shut off every time I put it away. I would then run it out of gas. The next start up I would use starter fluid to start it so it didn't have to crank for 30 seconds before the fuel entered the mix. I got ambitious and thought I could fix the flooding issue for $20...

I took the carb off when I first got the engine. I cleaned it up best I could and mangled the main jet when I couldn't get it out.

My needle was bad, currently there is no tip on it. I ordered a new one. I hear the solenoid click. I put in a fuel shutoff and I have been using that for the past 2 seasons. I was hoping to not have to go through the process of shutting off the fuel, letting it run out of gas and having a...

Ok, so a new needle, I probably need a bowel gasket, a new float wouldn't hurt and I can probably skip the seat for now? What Bowl gasket do I need?

I took the bowl off and this is what I found. The needle tip was breaking off and before I put it back together it broke off. It looks exactly like the needle that was suggested right?

I think this is the answer. removing and replacing the seat seems do-able.

From Rotary: Good morning, I was able to look into your Model number 31C707-0154-E. I was able to find the OEM number off the carburetor you needed. However we did not cross it back to anything we will have here at Rotary at this time. I will list the OEM numbers I have found as I hope it will...
