Great info, thanks!

Looking into small business insurance for my teenage sons lawn care biz, I am realizing it will be wise to get a legal business named and started. I will take over this business when I retire in a few years and he goes to college. So, what do I need to do in Illinois? I'm guessing register m biz...

My 14 year old boy started a lawn care biz this summer, 4 residential yards, 15 open lots, and one boulevard stretch. He was servicing a duplex, and got a rock with his string trimmer, and it broke the tenants van window. He notified them right away and explained we would take care of it. They...

Mounting bolts were tapped on the original and new motor. Bolted right on, only mods were to swap there old starter on because the new one didn't have a solenoid built in, used the old muffler, and trimmed the air filter cover a touch on the hood part that covers the carb, so it clears the...

Motor just arrived. Shiny and new! The free Kawasaki muffler even looks like it will work! The bottom platform of the box did look a little torn up and the shaft hit the bottom layer of the box pretty hard a few times, hope it's all good. Oh, and to 5/16"ish lock washers loose in the box...

I just picked up a nice John Deere 737 ztrak mower yesterday and while looking it over found this tube on the carburetor. I'm guessing it is a breather tube but it looks like something has been attached to it at some point because the end is flared out? Is this how this tube is supposed to be...

My 14 year old son started a small mowing biz this summer (20 properties), and we bought a Z655 24 HP Kawasaki, zero turn, used, with 250 hours. It normally runs good, and is a clean mower. He mows about 2-4 hours at a time, and about other every time he mows, he will bring it home with this...

I picked up a used FS 91R the other day, and it runs ok, but the idle was really low, and seemed a little boggy at full throttle. A new plug helped a little, but I wanted to tune up the carb, wondering if the previous owner maybe changed the settings. I cranked the H and L screws in, to see...
