yes for sure and in terms of longevity you have them from the least desirable to most desirable and the price has dropped when Time-serts first came out the price was astronomical and with ali-express and temu even time sert knocks offs are still better than a heli-coil. if it's just a cylinder...

problem is when you pull a heli-coil out it usually takes the repair threads that hold the coil in play out with it. been there done that seen that. that is why the time certs are so much better. they are used to repair bores in engine blocks that hold heal bolts in that are torqued down really...

no rear discharge. the metal decks have rear discharge only and they have side discharge chut attachments. they don't for these and the bag configuration is different metal deck/composite. a neighbor of mine has an older Honda and the bag attachment hooks are different, I was thinking I could...

that's what I have no side discharge chute for it.

Does anyone have a link to someplace that sells a side discharge chute for these machines? the deck is all the same on the composite deck models. doesn't matter if it has the my pace speed self propel or the different speeds unit the deck is the same. I love this machine, but it clumps the grass...

I'm in the auto repair business not small engines. I can tell you 100% if you want a long lasting repair DO NOT USE A Heli-coil! if you have had this machine for 30 years your in it for the long haul and from the sounds of it you do preventive maintenance like changing a spark plug regularly...

Does anyone make a side discharge chute for these mowers. I can find all kind of ones for the older machines but not the plastic beck models. I love the machine but sic of it filling my shoes/boots up with grass clippings. when the grass is wet it clumps out the back discharge it's really a poor...

well after looking at all the options and decided that buying a commercial mower was just too expensive for the end return, I wound up biting the bullet and bought a 21" Honda with a 200CC engine 4 in one mulch/bag/rear discharge machine with a composite deck I got it from jacks small engines no...

curious how much you paid for this? I'm finally going to upgrade from my 18 year old Ariens I was looking at a bad boy mower but not many dealers around. Looking at one with the bigger engine. I also need a side discharge that's not included? where I live I don't have any place to dispose of...

Bigger is always better. HP means nothing. you want as much torque as you can get. Torque is what does the work. think of it like a race car an engine builder will maybe tell you what the HP is but well never tell you what the Torque is and where it comes in and hits it's peak. the twisting is...

anyone still sell this model mower? any good thoughts? the make/made them with either Honda or Kawasaki engines.

Thx. looking for personal experiences though. the Exmark and Bad boy ones are intriguing never see them out in the wild. even commercial lawn cutting service they all have bigger machines,zero turn, stand on units

I posted this in the Exmark area as well so forgive me not sure if everyone looks at all the threads or not.. looking at a Bad boy or Exmark new mower or anything else that would fit my need and is rugged! Looking to replace an Ariens 21" Lm classic it's really long in the tooth and I have been...

Looking to replace an Ariens 21" Lm classic it's really long in the tooth and I have been nursing it along the last 2 years. it's 19 years old and it's served me well. I'm in NY so it's only used 7 or 8 months of the year. Ariens no longer makes this machine and or Graveley they made the same...

I've been kicking around getting a new machine for the past year but have not pulled the plug i really want a durable rugged gas 21" machine to replace my nearly 20 year old that is long in the tootth.. looking around if it were to go battery powered it would more than likely be the snapper...
