I'm going to try another location and see what happens. If positive, I'll try others.

I have a 21-inch Bolens push mower that has a ruined blade. Needing one right now, I went to Lowe's and found two identical blades but labeled Troy-Bilt and Craftsman. Thinking the different brands might be priced differently, I took them to the service desk for a price check, Troy-Bilt...

Thanks muchly.

I have a 21-inch Bolens walk-behind, push mower, model 11A-B0BL765. I need a blade but all I can find are mulching type, Bolens part numbers 942-0640, 942-0741A and 942-0741-X. All are mulching or Xtreme mulching. I want a blade that is designed with emphasis on really slinging out the...

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. I spent about twenty minutes looking for this 04 parts manual, looked at about 30 links and found nothing for the 04. I like to keep as complete a documentation as possible on everything I own and discovering here that I had the wrong parts...

Good to know, thanks.

It appears Husqvarna did a disservice to their customers when they released only one parts manual for all iterations of RZ3016 when some part specifications vary widely and simply connot be made to work from one iteration to another, leaving users in a state of confusion at best. I have looked...

Thanks much. I go for it now.

What does IPL stand for and how can I get a IPL specific to my mower. I keep meticulous records of everything I do to machinery. I recently sold an '03 Toyota Sienna that I got when it had only 8K miles. I passed a USB on to the new owner containing 607 files in 56 folders. I currently have...

Uh oh!. I found another OEM site listing the 575 852401 (maybe wrong belt) and ordered it last night. I guess I'm in for trouble. Thanks.

Hmmm . . . Thanks for the info.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Further diagnosis made the post irrelevant and I don't know how or if it can be deleted.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Gates is a brand that has had a strong reputation I remember since I was old enough to have an interest in cars so I guess that'll be it.

ILENGINE, The part number you list, 539 120806, doesn't appear anywhere in the manual. The Parts Manual I have is for RZ3016 966612301, my complete number. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/564665/Husqvarna-Rz3016.html The 3016 designates 30-inch cut and 16 horse power. The EZT Belt is...

Bought this mower 2016 and am looking for OEM belt 575 852401 that drives the wheels. Unfortunately, Husqvarna has discontinued this part. After ordering an OEM from four companies' web sites, I received a "discontinued" e-mail on all. I've had aggravating luck with non-OEM belts advertised...

Yes, I've ordered one of those for diagnostic. There are (according to the parts manual) four of that switch on the mower; however, the way the schematic is drawn, it looks like there are five but one of them must be a different part number. Anyway, I'll check the ignition switch tomorrow and...

That's how I looked up the manual I have been using, by actual model number. It has a schematic I can read on page 46 of 56.

I want to thank everyone here for their help as it has validated my belief that this intermittent problem is related to the safety switches. I think maybe I'll order safety switches one at a time and replace them one at a time until I hit on the one that fixes the problem. Diagnosing them by...

Sorry, I made a mistake on the model number. It is RZ3016. I've looked and looked for a service manual for it but have been unsuccessful. If you know where I can get one in PDF, please let me know.

Pardon my ignorance please but exactly what are the B & S terminals? I assume the S is for starter but what does the B stand for?

Husqvarna ZT3016. This is an intermittent problem, sometimes starts by turning the key, sometimes behaves as though there were no battery in it at all. The facts: The battery is good and has a full charge. Shunting the under-seat safety switch produced no effect. I checked checked the switch...

Thanks for the correction (HDPE). I've known about polyethylene since childhood but never knew about High Density PE. Knowledge is power.

Turned out it was a Ruixing carburetor as the name is in relief in the casting on the side of the carburetor body. I ordered a Genuine Briggs "carburetor rebuild kit" from from an on-line dealer. It contained the "needle" I needed plus a whole lot of parts I didn't. The whole kit could have...

This seems to me to be an oxymoron. The two lines below seem to cancel each other: (Nikki) Used Before Code Date 15113000 (Ruixing) Used After Code Date 15112900

Sometimes I can't see even the simplest things. Thanks.

That's my reasoning, too, either that or a bad float. I am looking in the engine's parts manual and this doesn't make sense to me: According to the Briggs parts manual, there are possibly two carburetors, a Nikki and a Ruixing and which one it is depends on the engine code. Now here's the...

Not in warranty and thanks for the tip. Aside from checking the oil, which I did, I never would have thought of gas in the oil. This will be a good time to change oil just to be safe.

It was running fine, then ignition seemed to miss a time or two over about 15 seconds then went dead. I do have spark, tried starting fluid but then removed the air cleaner. Long story short, when engine turns over, it belches gasoline out the intake, lots of it. Probably less than 20 hours...

Thanks, I didn't have the engine operator's manual. I never saw it come up in a search for my 31S877-0001-G1 engine marking.

I'm satisfied now that the oil capacity is 1.5~ quarts. Thanks but I have both manuals, had them before posting here. That's why I posted here; there's nothing in the manuals about oil capacity. Rant: There is no definitive information on the Briggs site as to the oil capacity of this...

Thanks for that information but this is page 48 of the mower operator's manual that I have and there is nothing there about engine oil capacity. There is no page 48 in the engine parts manual. I have found no operator's manual for the engine.

Husqvarna ZT3016 mower with Briggs 31S877-0001-G1 engine I have spent over an hour searching manuals, parts lists and the Briggs web site and I cannot find what the oil capacity of this engine is. Briggs has a link on their site which essentially says 'click here to find the type and capacity'...

Thanks for that information. I've put it in my Reference folder.

Thanks for asking. Not now. I've got two soft-metal blades for my Husqvarna 30-inch zero-turn, one new one I put on today and a spare and two spares for my Bolens 21-inch walk-behind. I hope it will be a long while before I need another. But when I do, I'll be looking for much better steel.

Thanks for reminding me about Rockwell hardness. I am aware of it but until now have applied that knowledge only to bolts, locks and chain. Maybe that'll help me get better blades.

The thickness of the metal is not the problem. The thickness of the blades I have gotten is about the same as the blades I got back in the 80's. I still have a few of those old used 1980's blades lying around and the blades I bought recently are about the same thickness. I haven't put a...

Please excuse my old-man, forty-year-old experience but I am appalled at the low-grade steel in mower blades I am finding in home centers, Walmart and other places. Being a do-it-youselfer, fixer of almost everything around the house, I got called on back in the 1980's by almost everyone I knew...

Just want to let everyone know the belt came in and it is in every respect either genuine OEM an excellent counterfeit. I mowed the lawn with it today.

Thanks for that information. It is also discouraging that belts sold at auto parts stores in my area (Auto Zone and Advance Auto Parts) have no marks on the packaging that correlates to the size, length, width or type of belt. It's a simple part or item number. Prices for similar belts in my...

Searching for a belt on e-bay, I found several at this link that have "99.60 EFL" in their description. Example: HUSQVARNA DECK V BELT 99.60 EFL 585054001 OEM So what is 99.60? Is it the length in inches? And what does EFL stand for? What does it mean?

I do not know how many times I flipped the bars out the first (and only) time I drove it, more than a half dozen and less than 20 maybe. After several months, I really can't do better than that. I don't understand what that has to do with anything. I don't know what a lap bar is, unless it is...

Shimming done. The shims (washers) didn't show as well in the picture I made after after tightening the bolts so this before tightening. After tightening:

Well, it worked just perfectly the first time I used it. Then it just sat there on the carport with nothing on it, leaning on it or otherwise touching it for a while, then this. So slim chance it was damaged in shipment. Gremlins on my carport, I guess. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the replies but I found the problem. I have no idea how such a thing could have happened. I would return it to the store but this was a special order and took over three weeks to get here. Then there is all the trouble of hooking up the trailer and getting the mower on it. Then I...

Near-new Husqvarna RZ3016, Product Number 966612301 used about twenty minutes and then parked for three months in dry carport. Today, the left control arm will not move forward or back. Right control arm works fine but since left control arm seems locked in neutral position, the mower will move...

The gasoline-powered TroyBilt string trimmers have a feature called JumpStart allowing electric start by several adapted methods, a corded electric starter, a battery-operated starter or an adapter for a drill. Are there any other brands that offer this feature? I occasionally need to take...
