    New engine seems in a bind

    Well, I've just finished installing a new V-twin CT series engine, 27 horse on a mower, but the starter seems to bind up trying to turn the crank over for the first time. Is this normal? Everything appears to be wired correctly, and the switch is functioning as it should, the starter just...

    Newer troy built push mower gov searching

    I got a little push mower about 3 years back from Lowes, it's a Troy Built, model ? . I bought it because it had the little Honda engine on it, which I felt like would be the best bet for longevity. Last 2 years it's worked great, had the pull back spring choke that closes itself off after a...

    choke

    Totally forgot about this thread, dealing with my own Choke debacle. I found this picture online, indicating where the cables should go, looks like it matches yours. Hope you've figured it out by now. If not, reply.

    Scag Owner Check-In --- Read This First!

    Howdy folks. Don't guess I ever "checked in" so here I am :-) I'm in KY, mowing daily with a 2015-2016 Freedom Z Pro 52" with Briggs CT power, now called the Patriot. Got her on sale a few years ago, was old stock before they added the "Pro" decal, then went to the Patriot. Looking back...

    Briggs choke-a-matic on mower with manual choke setup

    What's the best option if I were to order an engine that has the choke-a-matic setup already, but my mower is manual choke currently. Can I just adjust the length of pull for my throttle cable somehow, and do away with the manual choke cable. I'd rather not disassemble the new engine just to...

    Mow it twice, more beer is nice.

    If you guys are having issues with your cupholders shaking everything up, try this bad boy. Yeah it's pretty ugly, but it entertains the neighbors. !

    Mow it twice, more beer is nice.

    Sometimes, when I'm having a rough day and just wanna unwind, I'll mow her once at 4" and again at 3.. This way I can mow twice as much and drink an extra beer.. Anyone else with me :-)

    Anyone know if Kohler 7000 mounting pattern matches Command series?

    Here are the drawings, some of the numbers look identical, I just cant make out the command spacing vs the 7000. I can't read the drawings very well, the 7000 is laid out much better.

    Anyone know if Kohler 7000 mounting pattern matches Command series?

    Was curious if the 7000 series engine would match the bolt pattern to one of the command engines without any re-drilling. The command line uses a 10.00" B.C uneven space hole pattern, but I can't find the 7000 series breakdown. Thanks!

    Kohler CV740 27hp command won't start.

    I have been working on an older Command CV740 27 hp engine on a ZTR trying to figure out what's wrong with it. It ran last year but with a little valve noise. Has been maintained as far as I know. This year, it turns over, but won't start. I have already been through a few checks to try and...

    ZTH 6127 info needed, engine, etc.

    Well hello again folks, been a bit for me here. I wanted to ask a few questions from you professionals who run Husqvarna equipment. A family member recently ordered a new mower (Ferris) after having some engine troubles with his Husqvarna 6127. He claims it turns over, which i verified, but...
