No offence intended Tiger but your logic is wanting. Oil (all engine) filters are made all over the developed World, to engine maker specifications, branded (ie painted, serial number, etc) according to the contract (Engine maker, Filter Supply Company, etc). Price & adherence to design...

Thoughts On The Matter: Problem with filters (especially the spin-on/enclosed kind) is that the end user (us) do not have the equipment, technical expertees to make an informed judgement as to how effective the filter is. As others have noted, where the filter is made has little bearing on its...

Thanks Guys, Took my old belt in to my local mower shop. They agree with your part numbers/size HOWEVER the old belt is significantly shorter than the original belt DESPITE being was too loose, when not connected to engine/PTO. It may be that the only solution, to the belt coming off, is the...

Thanks ILENGINE - what of the dimensions/specifications for the belt? :devilish:

I have an old Toro Wheel Horse 17.44 HXL Model No.71283, Serial No. 240000104 - Deck may be a Model No.79107 - mows a great lawn. This mower was gifted to me, to use as parts - couldn't help myself - got her going and glad of it. Cutter deck belt needs replacing. Not sure but think Toro Part...

For all intents and purposes air is a fluid & for the most part behaves as one. Fluids, vary in their compressibility - air is relativly compressible compared with say oil. Pneumatic systems behave much like hydraulic. ILENGINE's reply is the correct one :devilish:

As a retired agriculturalist, I am wondering about a tractor tire that is being inflated to 60 psi ??? Could be some sort of loader I suppose. :devilish:

Follow up report? :devilish:

First check that you have the correct dipstick for your engine: With most vertical shaft B&S engines, you can check the dipstick for correct length & Min/Max markings . Just hold the dip stick vertical on the outside of the holder/tube, cap at the lock/screw down position, the Max mark should...

"flange pattern (should be the same)" If your a bit handy, a diffrent pattern shape/size, need not stop you. NOTE; You must still end up with, the new engine, pto shaft (crank extension) in the same position as the original :devilish:

I agree with the possibility of a blocked fuel tank cap breather - follow above suggestions Fuel filter; If access to compressed air, try blowing the filter out in the reverse direction of flow. Refit and see if you get a better flow from tank (into clean jar) Replace fuel filter - I have...

In cooler climates multigrades have the advantage over mono's for the very reason you have mentioned. Multigrades are less viscous at lower temperatures than monos, so offer less resistance to cranking (easier faster starting) and better cold engine circulation. Cold weather also reduces the...

Interesting! In Australia - Up until probably the last 10 years, 10W/40, 15W/40, even 20W/40 was probably the most popular mineral multigrade in both petrol & diesel engines. Most small air-cooled engines used a straight (mono grade) W30. They all seemed to do the job. It's all changed now with...

"Ah, very weak frames and a common issue...run er" By "runer", do you mean chassis rails?:devilish:
