According to my research the mower Mod # translates into a HRR216K10VKA. Here is a link to Jacks' Small Engines website that should bring you to that model number...

Pull the plug on the left cylinder and make sure the piston is moving, had a twin on a JD that ran but seemed to have a miss. Everything checked out as far as firing and but still had a miss. Pulled the plug and found out the rod had broken.

That is the problem with the single belt decks. They require an alignment change on so many levels. Yes the 2 belt systems are sometimes a bit more expensive but they encounter less problems. I would recommend that you check the alignment at the most popular cutting level and attempt to improve...

Oh, sorry my bad, misread what you were looking for.

The bolt that retains the impeller.

According to the parts diagram it is a 3/8-24 bolt 2.75 inches long

While working on an old Dixon Ram 50 I encountered a starting problem, chased my tail for a week only to finally figure out that there was a ground issue. Enough of a ground for everything to work but as soon as you tried to start it, nothing worked.

Another reason to run at full throttle is that the alternator is designed to produce the required voltage to recharge and maintain the battery at that RPM. I have replaced many batteries because the mower wouldn't start after a month or two of mowing with a new battery installed. I got it...

Replace the E with an F in the model, not sure about the last 3. That should bring up approx 3 different model numbers ending in either 300 (2002 Model), 131 (2003 Model) and 722 (2004 model). Those should help you in finding parts for your mower.

I have a Cub Cadet that has tapered bearings in the spindle and grease fittings. Easy to grease it every two or three mowings. My mower has just over 700 hours and they are still original bearings. Never did understand putting sealed bearings in a spindle and grease fittings too. Have never...

That particular wiring harness is used on many different models of the Husqvarna Mower so those wires may not have any use on your particular mower. Does your mower have a 12v outlet (cigarette lighter)? The black wires should be ground wires and most likely used on another model.

I saw your post on your 290 and I have a 029 that I upgraded with a 039 motor. I found a place, they have an Ebay site but will also sell away from Ebay. Look up See-Saws-Run on Ebay. Fast Shipping and really good prices. You can email or call them and inquire about parts. Email...

I would recommend Diesel over Gasoline because of the oil content. Less likely to have a problem with rust in the parts not cover by the grease during non-operational times

I live on a farm and even the 64 series Tractors have all Plastic hoods. You think mower/compact tractors get beat around, you can imagine the abuse a tractor gets. Field work can be a bit rough too.

Sounds like you have a wire that is chaffing the frame at some point. If the fuse no longer blows, then it is most likely broken. Check the wires into the plug at the back of the switch for burned, broken or missing insulation. If you don't get power from the switch the starter will not engage
