    Substitute for Peerless Tecumseh mst-206-545c?

    What I need to do is replace the input shaft because it snapped right at the case. I presume I have to split the case to do that? I took out all the bolds and tapped around it a bit but it appears to be pretty well glued together. The part is only 12 bucks. It would sure be nice if I could pop...

    Substitute for Peerless Tecumseh mst-206-545c?

    My 2005ish Craftsman LT200 (AYP) transaxle snapped off the main shaft. I don’t have the skill to rebuild it and Tecumseh is out of business. It’s a 6 speed manual, model mst-206-545c. Is there a direct replacement unit from another maker I could buy and swap in?

    Gear transmission or shift-on-the go?

    My Craftsman (AYP) lawn tractor is finally starting to show some transmission problems after 16 years of fairly hard use for a consumer grade mower. Part of me is considering buying a replacement transaxle and running it until the engine fails, but another part of me is considering just biting...

    V Twin lower seal: easy job?

    My 15 year old 22 HP V Twin has what I’m assuming is a lower seal leak based on the oil puddles I keep seeing in my garage. Is it a relatively easy job to change it? Does the engine need to be removed from the mower frame or can the seal be slid off and reinstalled? <—— I suspect this is wishful...

    10323 hit a pipe, now it’s LOUD

    I couldn't see any visible wobble in the crankshaft so I decided to take off the cover of the "exhaust box" or whatever the proper name is. Much to my surprise I found this: These bolts have probably been backing themselves out for years and I guess the impact of the blade was the last straw...

    10323 hit a pipe, now it’s LOUD

    I hit a metal pipe that I (obviously) didn’t know was there with my beloved 10323. That’s the silver series 6.5 Duraforce two stroke. When it hit it didn’t kill the engine, but the sound of the engine changed instantly. I was wearing earplugs so I didn’t realize quite how much, but when I got it...

    Removing wheel on Craftsman rider

    My mower is about 16 years old now and the tires have leaks due to sidewall cracks that Slime won't fix. Instead of traditional bearing caps the wheels have what appear to be heat shrink plastic covers. I know I can peel it off somehow, but it doesn't look like it would be possible to get it...

    Planning for when my 10323 finally dies.

    The title sort of says it. I know the time will come when my beloved 10323 won't be fixable and I need to start thinking about a replacement. My primary use is trimming on steep hillsides where a rider is unsafe, so I suspect a 4 stroke will die of oil starvation unless it has a pressurized...
