I figure I'm in the top 20% of shade-tree wrenchers that even use a torque wrench. Calibrate it? Ha!

240 inch pounds equals 20 ft/lbs.?

Surely when you said "20-240 inch-pounds" you meant FOOT POUNDS?

A good 'ole tip-of-the-hat to the members here that stepped upped & helped a fella out. Good job guys! (y)

Whoa, whoa whoa. You can't leave here. You have just proven your worth, again, to this forum. Take a deep breath, smile, & rethink this. I and the rest of this forum appreciates you and listens when you post. Please!

So So you're saying that the bolts just don't go into the block but go through?

Wow. Great info there ST! I'm going to show this to the 'techs' as I feel they need all the help they can get. I was going to suggest something about a helicoil but was afraid I would be talking over their heads. I won't even tell you about the comment he said about running the impact gun until...

Guy, got quite a problem brewing here with the daughter-in-laws' JD Z520A. Dealer 'worked' on it last year to the tune of ~$1100. Long story short, somehow oil leaked out of engine & she blew up. Dealer steps up & puts in a new engine. Only problem is, the holes to mount the engine don't align...

WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF STA-BIL FUEL STABILIZER? The shelf life of all STA-BIL brand products is 2 years after the bottle has been opened, provided it has been tightly capped and stored in a cool, dry place. It will not harm anything if you use an old bottle of STA-BIL brand, it just may not...

But guys, the man just asked a simple question. No one answered it..........

My father used to tell the story of the guy who took great care in having a beautiful lawn. One day the neighbor asked the wife if he could come into the garage & turn his blades up-side down. She laughed, agreed, and the dirty deed was done. Next time they were together, the subject turned...

I thought, that if you unlocked the hydros, that was the same as putting your car in neutral.......

We are now getting 2 different people with problems. Should start a new thread. To the OP: "When I got it, he said it's like new. I asked him to come with me to the side of his business where the grass was tall, like I typically cut when mowing. I ran the mower through the tall grass and it...

Turns out this project was a piece of cake. Took longer to get the tools out & put them away than the actual job. Was able to get the flat-blade screwdriver in the exposed 'head' & it popped right off. The tail end, which was not easily exposed and wasn't able to get the screwdriver in there, I...

Sorry 'bout that. It's an 991156 and the damper part # is 09689700 EDIT: OK I think I've got it. Apparently you slip a small skinny flat-head screwdriver & pry the little 'grippers' out of the way & slide it over the pivot head. Then release the 'grippers'. Probably easier said than done. Might...

Safe to say that you just pry this thing off?

From what the parts guy at the service desk said, I've got to re-tighten up those nuts and then pop off the damper. Said sometimes it can be a bear. Then looks like the new damper just 'clicks' onto the stud that I just re-tightened. ?????

Thanks. I pulled the wheel yesterday to get a better view of it. Looked pretty simple, remove the nut on both ends.... Thought I'd take it off even though the replacement part isn't here yet. Nuts loosened but then just started spinning, still 'stuck' on whatever they tighten down on. Murphy's...

I've got the part ordered from the dealer but do have a question that YT doesn't have the answer for. To remove & replace, apparently all you have to do is pry out the end cap and it releases? Any tips before i hit this project? Thanks guys!

In the fall, after the last mow, clean the underside of the deck, sharpen & balance the blades, change the oil & filter, blow out the debris in between the fins of your engine, pour a little stabil in the gas & run it for a short bit, and put your battery on a 1 amp battery maintainer. In the...

Get yourself a 1amp battery maintainer (smart charger) & leave it on all winter long. Also, run your mower out of gas before you store it.

When I balance a motorcycle tire, once it is balanced it doesn't matter where the heavy part was. I can rotate the tire to any position and it doesn't move. Figured a blade should do the same........

I thought if something was balanced east to west, it would also be balanced north to south.

I bought a used Toro 21" self-propelled for my daughter. Among other things, I pulled the blade, sharpened it but when I went to balance it using my...

There's a reason some shouldn't have access to the internet

Noco GB40. Noco is a top-of-the-line booster and I carry it in my vehicle(s), not just for a little mower battery.

Well thanks everyone for the replies. I guess as long as I'm happy with the resulting cut, that's all that matters. Think I'll keep er heeled at 1/4" difference.

I'm sure that when you say a "battery tender" that you mean a battery "maintainer". Big difference. Also, I just put some...

Ahhh c'mon, how do you really feel? ;)

I may try that next spring when I'm crawling around on the floor taking off the mulching kit. Funny, each year that keeps getting just a little harder...

We're probably talkin' 4 1/4" in the front & 4' in the rear. Scale wheels pretty much hardly turn.....

But but but, is there a way to actually cool down the hydros before just shutting 'er down?

Thanks, but my life is somewhat peaceful. I'm afraid with everything I hear from my wife and her comments about her facebook account, well, don't think FB is a good fit for me. But thanks!

So is no-one heeling their machine?

I'm cutting 'cold' grasses, in Ohio. So far I like the look I'm getting, but am wondering if I'd get the same results cutting where it's suppose to be. ie. 1/4" higher.

It seems like I read somewhere, possibly on this forum, that the best cut resulted from a heeled deck. So several years back I lowered the rear 1/4 from the front. BTW, Gravely HD ZT 60 with I believe a 25.5hp Kohler. I mow often because I'm retired & I like mowing so the grass doesn't get too...

Fire away. The smart guys will be along any minute......

Welcome to the forum!

you were 12 minutes ahead of me.....

Hmmmm, first I've heard of this. How do you do this?

:ROFLMAO:

Curious as what your thoughts are with these.

Originally did that...didn't work. Just shot everything out from under the deck. Anybody wanna buy one? Cheap!

I did several years ago. Just wasn't impressed with the cut. Went with some sort of high-lift from Oregon and was very pleased. So now I'm trying to get high-lift, plus mulch. Don't think there is such an animal.........

HOC ???

I've got a funny feeling here that I'm looking for a unicorn. High-lift blade that mulches. I understand that in order to lift grass, you have to have some place for the air flow to go. Making 3 individual cutting chambers with no-where for the air to escape makes it rather tough to lift &...
