I've used a cheap plastic conical shaped balancer for years. It has done a great job of providing a true balance. I never have any vibration and the lawn has a great evenly cut look to it.

My fescue lawn looks the best cut at 4 inches in the summer. I lower it to 3 inches spring and fall. I like the look of the lawn even shorter then that but the lawn didn't not and was easily stressed at those heights if hot and no rain. I also find the higher height helps crowd out any weeds.

I agree with Moz-a-lot.

Real nice honing job though. If you come in at $1,500 and it runs fine, I'd be happy with that over the $3,000. The customer has to learn to take care of the engine oil and maint.

Have you checked the gap on your Cylinder lash valves? The only time I had a lot of smoke coming out of the muffler is when my FR691v lash valves where not gaped properly. That is between .004 - .006. I did mine at .005 and the engine stopped smoking. This is recomended to be done every 300 hiurs..

I'm assuming where you may live being a Patriot fan. I may live a little south of you and I am also a Patriot fan. Anyways, this winter has been a brutal one temp wise. I haven't expirenced this type of cold since I was a kid. It's great that you have propane heat. I'd much rather lose power in...

I'm helping a friend sell a very old diesel JD lawn tractor from an estate. I don't have the information with me as to year and model number yet. I'm just trying to find out if there's a place to post this mower for sale or parts. I was informed that it was running but made a loud noise while...

I just saw this post. I had tge sane issue on the same side with my Raptor SD. The left safety switch was not making full contact with the control arm out to start the engine. It's base set nut needed to be re-tightened twice as the switch base moved to far away to make contact with the saftey...

I getting this body clip pliers at Harbor Freight,

Great. I'll look into getting these pliers...thanks

I ended up finding a local Scag dealer that will order them and charge me 80 cents apiece. This saves me the shipping charges and having to enter a CC number on sites I've never dealth with. I was finding prices as high as $12 for one rivet (Amazon) and shiping of $10.99 (Kawasaki parts store)...

I did check my dealer who is also a JD dealer and they told me they didn't have any and would have to contact Kawasaki. I told them I'd get them. Some online sites are in the 70-80 cent range like you mentioned. Their just sites I've never dealth with. I am looking locally right now...thanks.

Anyone have a good source for the engine guard plastic rivets. I need all 3 for FR691V. Amazon was expensive. I found MTD online carries them at a resonable price and shipping, but I never dealt with them...thanks. Kawasaki Guard Rivet OEM #92039-0751

Green agenda's have driven oil prices up and onslaught of Government regulation's have driven the price of doing business up. These are the reason for high prices and not corporate gauging. Getting rid of Bidenomics will restore pricing back down but not to pre-Covid levels.
