I got this discharge chute. Looks like it came from a very heavy deck. Came with a bunch of stuff I bough on an auction from a defunct Ferris dealer. However, I don't think Ferris makes anything this heavy. I got many other discharge chutes in the package but this one is like 1/4 steel. I think...
I am repowering Gravely Z 252 mower model 992071. It originally came with a 27hp CV740 and I found a NOS replacement that is exact with exception of newer ignition module. The new engine is CV740-0020. The older engine is CV740-011. I had to come up with a new wiring harness. The carburetor +...

I hope my experience isn't unique and somebody has a straightforward solution. When faced with starting an 2-cycle equipment that sat for a long time I am always at a loss. One way or another I get it to start after which it usually starts on a single pull but I cannot put my finger on what...
I am new to this forum but I figured this is the place to look for an answer to a potential project I am thinking of undertaking this winter. The house I purchased came with an HR194 lawn mower. A really solid unit. Despite its age it starts on a first pull and the blade-clutch system is bee's...
