Man I would hate if you took time off. I always enjoy the responses and input you have here. I mostly just read for educational purposes and don’t post things, but how can we learn if the professor stops posting? “RESPECT”

I purchased a junk snapper riding mower for 75 bucks as a winter project many years ago . I had the same problem and went through about everything until I stumbled across a video and saw a guy (probably taryl fixes all) where he adjusted rpm’s by bending the plate that attached to the governor...

Oh my. I’m going to share this procedure and save it myself THANK YOU FOR BEING SO THOROUGH. WOW No wonder I read these post so much. you’re brilliant!

Look, I’m a snapper fan and even have a snapper pro now. I just let go of my 93 38” rider and , honestly it was hard to do. I gave it away still running and 107 people clambered to my door to get it. It’s old technology and lack of ability to mow my tttf at 4+ inches helped to let it go I...

I have the 2800 hydro on my gravely and I went through this once when I got stuck. You have to pull them out and latch them in a small notch on the pin to the frame to disengage the trans not just pull out It was frustrating because my field of view was obstructed with a mower sunk in mud...

I am a huge fan of this forum and I cannot believe how many rude people come on here asking for help but become total arseholes in their reply. Bertsmobile, I am so glad you haven’t dropped from this forum because people like you and many professionals make a difference for people like me who...

Hello all, I have a 2013 John Deere z445 with a 48” deck model1m0Z445KPDM131408 and I’m starting to hear the sealed bearings start to “rattle”. My question is should I just buy the 6 sealed bearings from JD? I’ve seen the aftermarket complete spindles for not much more than what my dealer wants...

That is insane but awesome

Well the question was vague enough but I think I understand what he may be getting at. Fuel is more expensive than ever. I’m a Kawasaki engine fan and depend on these powerful, reliable engines. My Kawasaki engine currently on my gravely is quite a thirsty engine compared to my much bigger...

All my manuals say if you strike an object in the field, the bolt needs to be inspected and tightened immediately for it will fall off.

Actually it doesn’t work that way. You can’t take a mower blade off without holding or wedging the blade to keep from spinning but with an impact, one doesn’t have to even hold the blade, for example

I have a gravely 42” zt xl with serviceable hydros and it’s cut is amazing along with the ariens version of this same mower So if you can find either one especially with a Kawasaki engine I believe you’ll be thrilled

I have a jd 14sb I moth balled for ten years. I got it running after fiddling with carb. The reason I put it away is it burned oil only after two years of use. I figured the rings were bad or the cylinder scored I pulled the head last week to find the cylinder in beautiful shape with...
