Thank you both, I just ordered both sides because the price was so reasonable - so much less than I expected. Husqvarna part since it was half the price as the Ariens part. Thanks again, Miles

My apologies to everyone. My Diesel Mechanic daughter just gave me a virtual slap up the side of the head and told me I was reading the parts illustration wrong. Everything is as it should be. How embarassing :-( Cheers, Miles

In my Ariens manual right and left is determined by standing in front, facing the tractor. I.e. If you are sitting on your tractor the right spindle is on your left side. Is this true, just confirming before I order? I'm an Air Cooled VW man and it is always determined by the direction the...

That's what I thought also. I just didn't want to buy the Husqvarna and find I was wrong. A second opinion makes me feel more confident. A third opinion wouldn't hurt either. :-)> Cheers, Miles

I've seen this on my search but were not answered or were confusing. My Ariens manual shows both Husqvarna and Ariens part numbers for a part, with Husqvarna #'s listed first. i.e. I need an Ariens Draglink for my tractor, the manual shows "MFG No." 5321947-41 and "Ariens Part No." 21546338...

I have a Craftsman push mower with a Briggs & Stratton 5.50 Silver motor. I can mow for a half hour to an hour then it will stop instantly for no apparent reason - no sputtering, racing, etc. I cannot restart the mower at all. The next day it starts right up like nothing had ever happened. I...

I have a Huskee push mower with a Kohler XT Series XT650 149cc 6.50 motor. I bought this last year (season) at Tractor Supply and it worked perfectly until we left for Oklahoma in October. Everything automatic, all I had to do was keep it in gas and pull the cord once to start it. I hired a...

Spring hit us like a hammer last week and moved the mower back to top priority. I recently rebuilt my carb and the engine runs like a top with one serious drawback, it will not start with just the key. The only way to start it is to first push the (choke?) linkage up then turn the key on. Then...

Re: Major Gas Leak/carburetor cleaning I've got everything apart except for the Main Jets and they appear to be Okay in that I can see clear through the four holes. I took out the carburetor nozzle and blew air through the main jets and vice versa - everything was clear. Everything looks good...

Re: Major Gas Leak/carburetor cleaning This is my first time in a carburetor and this is my first riding mower so please bare with me. I have an Ariens Garden Tractor model #936085. It has a Briggs & Stratton 20hp 40R877 motor with a V-Twin #796227 carburetor. How do I remove the item the...

I have an Ariens 46" Garden Tractor #936085 with a Briggs & Stratton 20hp #40R877 engine for about 4 years now and been very happy with it until yesterday. My problem is with the engine. It was taking 10-20 seconds of cranking to start the engine and the mower belt had stretched. So I did my...
