    Getting a brand new R213c rider. Tips and tricks?

    Finally got this today. First one delivered to me was a R214TC which is a more expensive model so had to call the dealer to come and switch it again. Would have been fun to see how long before they discovered it. But honesty is important. Used it for 1 hour today and really like it. Needs some...

    Getting a brand new R213c rider. Tips and tricks?

    Thanks for the tip. I will definitely not use the pressure washer on this. I don't think it will be necessary to clean out the deck more than 2-3 times during the season so i'll manage that. They are also heavy at 214 kilos (471 pounds) so i need some decent trailer ramps if i want to...

    Getting a brand new R213c rider. Tips and tricks?

    According to the specs it's a mulching/ rear discharge so i'll guess that i can remove a cover if i want rear discharge. For the first few weeks i will probably move the lawn twice a week just for fun and to get to know it. This also has a service/ cleaning position on the deck so it's easy to...

    Getting a brand new R213c rider. Tips and tricks?

    Simplicity 4000 throttle assembly

    The new gearbox and brakes work as they should now. The engine is working as it should. The last problem is that the belt ordered from the number on the sticker under the hood is too long. I don't know how to approach this. First i thought there was a missing pulley on the mower deck but...

    Simplicity 4000 throttle assembly

    Finally got the gearbox i ordered from eBay as this was seized up when i bought the tractor. I was promised a good working condition gearbox. The brakes where seized so the gearbox did not turn over. Glad i checked this before i started it up. I used some brake cleaner and rust shock oil to...

    Simplicity 4000 throttle assembly

    Bought an old Simplicity for 30 bucks. There is no response from the throttle because the throttle rod is not connected to the assembly. I'm having a hard time figuring out how this is supposed to be connected. I have tried it like this on the second picture but the throttle wont move when...
