Try pressure washing it.

So I went and got the lawn tractor today. Was able to get in in freewheel and rolled onto my trailer. I checked plugs, oil level, etc, I took off the shroud and blew out about ten pounds of mice nest and dirt. I hooked a jump pack to it and it started up after a few seconds. I drove it...

Good afternoon, I have been gifted a Craftsman lawn tractor from my in-laws and need to get it home to service, etc. Looks like a 2014 year model that hasn't ran in 4-5 years. This model has the hydrostatic transmission. Craftsman T3000 / Model 917.203900 / Serial # 021714A00317. The tractor...

I replaced the smart drive cable on my Honda last spring and that handle is a pain to get reassembled again. It took me a few tries, but I finally managed to get it back working.

I did this to my 10 year old Honda last spring. Took everything out, replaced the belt, pinion gears and changed the transmission oil. Sanded the shafts down and put it back together. Worked great up until last week or so and starting to bind again.

i never knew those pinion gears had a punch mark that needed to be facing a certain way.

Good afternoon I have a Honda HRR216VKA mower and I was wondering has anyone replaced their blade with the Gator mulching blade and have good results? Thanks

I ordered a new one from Amazon along with a new belt and changed them both. Hooking up the cable with the Smart Drive was a pain at first, then saw on the video how to give it some slack.

That video saved me frustration today. I replaced belt and drive cable and couldn't get the Smart drive put back together. Put the screwdriver behind the transmission and rest the mower on it. It will give more slack and help line up the pin.

If i may make a correction...my model # ( from the deck plate of the mower ) is HRR2169VKA. not sure if it makes a difference in the part number for the belt.

Good afternoon, I am looking for a part number for my mower. 2014 Honda HRR216VKA / serial # MZCG9126537 Looking at a Honda website and i see the belt in the diagram, but no part number listed. Any help appreciated!

This mower is 3 years old and performs great. In the spring, I always change oil, blades, air filter and spark plug. While changing the blades, I took the 4 screws loose holding the transmission cover on; I didnt realize it has oil in it. So about a half dollar size puddle spilled before I...

Hi can someone please post a picture of how the anti surge spring should be mounted to the throttle control on the carb and then to the governor arm? Thanks
