    What's wrong with my Honda Lawnmower? Almost pulled my arm off! Repair? New mower?

    After such abuse with maintenance it is no wonder. You may have Water in the float bowl. Change the oil, air filter and spark plug.

    Buying a forever lawnmower. Lawnmower buying advice.

    Nothing available to meet your needs at 3X the budget. Burn knee high grass or get a scythe. Wait til it dries.

    Rider Mower battery question

    I suggest you remove both Terminal cables, clean them to bright metal and put it on a 2 amp 12v charge for 12 hours. A dead battery will freeze and be destroyed in the winter. When it starts, let it warm up to operating temp then drain oil, install new filter, check/replace air filter and...

    Blade-balance oddity

    The blade spins at high RPM. About 3,000. A slight out of balance is irrelevant.

    john deere d 140 transmission

    Good to know. The tranny went out on my X320 at 218 hours. Mostly driven my my late mother. $1,800 for the new one installed (Canadian) Upgrading trans is not possible according to Tuff Torque. They get asked that question daily I was told.

    2015 Toro v-twin won't start

    Pull off the Recoil cover and carefully inspect the Keyway and Crankshaft key. Slots should line up exactly. When the blade(s) strike a solid object the key is designed to shear partially or completely so the Crankshaft is not damaged. Replace key with an OEM one.
