Yesterday, I fired up my Poulan EX300 riding mower. It had been sitting inside my pole barn for three weeks. It ran fine 3 week ago and has been a fantastic mower. It started up but wasn't running at full power and eventually died. It would not start after that. I had driven up to my rural...

Perfect! Thanks - I *think* I am out of questions so far... Thanks to everyone again!

Bingo! Thats it. The washer and clip were not provided with the new deck assembly, but they were still on the old deck. The deck came with a few replacement parts, among them, the spring in the attached picture below. Can you tell me what it is and where it attaches to the mower deck? I...

Hey Mark. I had already looked briefly on youtube. Do you have any specific videos or articles in mind? Thanks!

Hello. I am trying to get an Ariens (made by Husqvarna) 93606 Geared Tractor back in service. I bought it running and driving, but the deck was very rusted through. The deck had been removed from the mower when I bought it. I bought a new deck and I have moved the rest of the needed parts...

Thanks again Rivets! I found a 2-page manual on ebay, and I sent an email to Ariens customer support. I'll have this old gal churning up dirt in no time! ** If anyone else has any additional information, please let me know.

Hello Rivets. Thanks for the help so far. I measured the width of the tines and they are just over 23", so they are probably worn down from 24". The engine is a 4HP "Super Jet" and the engine numbers are: 100292 0154-20 E111291. The tank is in a bath of vinegar to get the rust out, but it...

Hi Folks, I am working on getting an old Ariens tiller my dad bought back in the late 60s or early 70s. I can not find the model number anywhere on it. I found the serial number decal (see first pic) and it reads 24B 021628. Its sporting a Briggs and Stratton Jet 4 HP engine. I have the gas...

Hi Folks, I have an older Poulan 300EX (model # PB19546LT) riding mower that I am getting up and usable. I just took the rear wheels off to install inner tubes and I noticed oil on both the drive shafts. So, I figure the output seals are probably leaking. But, in the mean time (before replacing...

Hi Folks, New member here. Yesterday I picked up a running Poulan 300EX 46" riding lawnmower (model # PB19546LT) for free. The PO told me the belt had come off. So, I just pressure washed it and the mower deck is rusted away near the left spindle, about the size of my fist. So, I am looking...
