That's a hospital visit waiting to happen

And just "commonly found parts" can't apply to a battery mower because, surprise, it's not worth taking the time and money to replace said parts. Which means that parts will fail naturally as they do and the mower will eventually be rendered unusable and potentially dangerous and won't last...

he is not saying gas is not good, rather older mowers were built to higher standards than they are today

Don't assume someone's age, just because we may seem "older" because we know how to judge the true quality of what we are buying doesn't mean we ARE OLD. FYI I am 13, been working on these small engines for 3 years, and have $10000 in the bank account. You may ask how I did this? I am not...

You are a ski instructor...on a mower forum... That says a lot

I am helping the op avoid crap that won't last. What's your contribution? Nothing

They are switching to electric so they can continue to sell their crap in California after they ban gas landscaping equipment. Just because "25% of push mowers and 50% of other yard equipment" is electric doesn't mean that it is made to last. They are made to be used, thrown away, and bought...

Well, from what I can tell, that is a carburetor issue. You can either take the carburetor apart and try to clean all the little holes of any potential debris (this may not always work) or just but a new carburetor. Whether you pick oem kohler or much cheaper Amazon is up to you, but this is...

Hey guys, I'm looking for parts for my husqvarna and craftsman riding lawn mowers and was wondering if Sears parts direct was legit or not. Specifically, I was looking for a 3 bin bagger, reg price is like $450 but Sears is like $250??? Is it ok to buy parts from them because I have heard of...

23HP Kohler 7000 series KT730-3035

With tractors, they are built much beefier to last a long time and everything is serviceable so it's fine if you use it for towing. I think using an old yard tractor with a gear tranny is what I would do. Depending on how much weight you are towing, I would get a 90s-2000s craftsman gt5000 or a...

Hydros were never made for towing period. It does degrade your hydro and will make it potentially overheat. Now it's a little bit different with a riding mower because they were made to have things like a front blade, bagger, sleeve hitch and those accessories and more. But ZTRs weren't made for...

Businesses want to find the cheapest way possible for you to use a product until the warranty or return window is over, then things start breaking and it's just another throwaway product. Don't you think if businesses actually cared about making high quality products there wouldn't be PLASTIC...

What were you trying to prove? Just because every carmaker makes an ev doesn't mean that it's good or even better that gas engines. And they will not last close to as long. Let's take the highest performance cars of tesla and lamborghini. Tesla model S vs Lamborghini Veneno. The difference? A...
