    This was generated by AI……” You are very likely correct: "Partssuppliesshop" is operating a credit card harvesting scam. Your experience matches a classic phishing and data-harvesting technique used by fraudulent websites. These sites lure you in with hard-to-find inventory or low prices, but...

    Craftsman part # 325692 Flange Bearing for Steering Assembly

    Well, Everyone, this is day 26 since I used one of the two credit cards on the above web site, “PARTSSUPPLIESSHOP”. Received an email from my credit card company questioning 4 charges made to my credit card today. The first two were small amounts in the $3 range, then an even $18, and the last...

    Startech and Everyone, It has been 13 days since initial contact with partssuppliesshop.com. After talking with both credit card companies (and they assured me that I would not be liable if my cards were used fraudulently) I did try to order (one time) with another credit card and got a message...

    Multi-viscosity synthetic oil for older pre-synthetic-oil engines

    Auto Doc, I think I’ll experiment this Fall. I mostly only have leaves to mulch this time of year and the weather is cool here in Ohio now. I’ll probably use the synthetic 10W30 and see how things go. I can always go back to the 30 wt next Spring. You are right about adjusting the valves...

    Multi-viscosity synthetic oil for older pre-synthetic-oil engines

    The engine in my 31 year old Craftsman riding mower with a Tecumseh OHV-125-203015A engine calls for SAE 30 wt oil above 32° and 5w30 below 32°, then the manual reads, “Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30,etc) improve starting in cold weather , these multi-viscosity oils will result in...

    Stuck transaxle on JD160

    Hi, Star Tech, In fairness to that FreeAll penetrating fluid. I have used that in the aerosol can and twice now over the past dozen years I had the experience of unable to loosen a steel fastener (nut and bolt) and a brass nut and a steel screw. I had given up after a couple of hours so I...

    Riding mower runs for about 20 mins then stops

    My vote is the latter. I would highly suspect a weak fuel shutoff solenoid. I had the same symptoms last year and found real fine “grit” down around the spring of the plunger. I cleaned it up and it worked for a year. However this year same symptoms and found the body of solenoid getting hot...

    Briggs & Stratton 15.5 hp dies after it has run for about 1/2 hour

    At first I tried to disable the solenoid by removing the rubber tip from the plunger and unplugging the electrical connector to the solenoid but even the metal tip of the plunger was enough to keep fuel from flowing and engine would not start. I ended up by depressing the plunger and using a...
