does it consistently bleed down, or sometimes? Sometimes leaks can be dependent on the load on the tire - especially at the bead. RE: Slime: Myself and a garage mechanic friend have never had any success with Slime. It may stop a leak but in weeds or months, it's back. I had cans of...

The fuel cutoff will guard against storage leakage which fills up the crankcase. When that happens you have WB all the time. You don't have that problem. The comment about cutting on a slope is a good one: is there any pattern to when it happens?

Could you elaborate: is it White vs Blue? perhaps Rings vs Gas in Oil (which is which)?

when you get the white bomb and shut it off, if you restart it do you get the white bomb again? If NO, then I don't know how "gas in oil" cleared itself up. I've had the white bomb myself and it was leaky carb with no fuel shutoff that was leaking while not in use, then when started white bomb...

UPDATE: DO NOT use 1/2" V-belts which claim replace 7043844YP, they are too narrow and bottom in the main pulleys - they screech when you engage. I bot the OE Snapper belt ($30 ouch) and it works perfectly with better engagement than the V-belt (probably 5/8") which finally broke. (The belt...

Speak of the Devil, this would be an improvement of my Snapper Rear Engine Rider: 33" Snapper ZT (!) Basically a ZT version of mine. The front of my rider seat is about 2" aft of blade center (about the same on this ZT) My feet are essentially in front of the deck (about the same BUT there...

I have no idea why those "front cut" mowers aren't popular here. Stiga, I thought they were hard to get in the USA? Their smallest model (300 I think) has an 85cm which is 33.5" which is a good width - hopefully the entire machine is not wider. If the articulation is power, could "zigzag"...

My 1/3 acre lawn is complicated, banks, narrow corridors, mowing over steps, mowing under rhododendron and privet hedges and around trees. The 33" width is the most that will allow what I'm doing in various places. I would like to have Sharper Turning Radius A zero turn would...

In all seriousness, I do have a bank with a row of hedges along the top. I can drive my Snapper along the bank, but I look like a Sidecar Monkey! with my head in the hedges! (always good method to slight throw you weight around to see how stable you are - as long as you bounce back!) FYI...

Mower Tumbling? LOL Reliant Tumbling in UK I wonder. Check out Jeremy's Reliant Rolling:

Possibly - the Walkers were the ones that impressed me the most - and they are used by lawn maintenance all over my neighborhood. R21 looks like it would do the "under" cutting, but the min deck is 42" and the drive wheel track is almost as wide. That width is an issue as well as the width and...

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the suggestion - I think you hit the nail on the head and "articulated out fronts" are what will suit me better. WOW, did not know about Articulated Out Fronts (!) saw the Husqy and went to their website and couldn't find the R220T - need dimensional specs - my 32"...

I'm 70 and my Bucket List ZTR is possible, BUT I'm not sure if it will solve all my mowing problems: 2/3rds acre is small for a ZTR - practical? Cutting Under and Close to Trees, Rhododendron, Privet hedges. ZTR too cumbersome: Complicated, small area w/steep bank, sidewalk, steps Storage...

I guess I'm a little confused. I sold a Briggs Model 6 and had an old Ryan sod cutter with a big Model 22 (or 23, or 26 - just don't remember.) These are "small" numbers. But is the actual Model of this engine a 131232? And I sure don't know what Type means.

It's a HD Stellite Valve engine on a 2" Homelite Trash Pump. Would also like to know HP if possible. It is definitely an old style engine with the fuel tank hanging off the carb (carb is that long thin aluminum horizontal body - does not look like a "modern" carb like on a Honda.)
