Didn't need to boil anything. Removed the carb, used some grease (elbow type), and maintained pressure in attempts to turn, and I finally won. So fired it up, and now it idles, and throttles up. Now I need to find what oil the "transmission" uses. I want to make sure it's full. This thing has...

Good news and bad news. Good news I received my Hipa tool set, that has the A Circle driver. It works on one of the adjustments. Bad news, I can't get (as looking at the adjustments) the one on the right, to budge. I'm guessing it's the High side adjustment. I can get it to start, idle, but...

Thank you. I've never heard of them or seen them.

Howdy all, Just joined found and joined this forum. I have a couple of mowers, one of course being a JD 345. Not a bad little mower, wife really likes using it, as well as Daisy Mae.

Hi all, Like the title says, I'm learning the hard way and hope I'm going about it the right way. I have a '93 720K, with a 52" front deck. Last weekend the front Pillowblock bearing went out. So yesterday I picked up a new one as well as 3 new blades. Replacing the bearing appeared to be a...
