    SCAG blade options

    I am slowly getting ready to get a SCAG SWZT 36". I am just not sure about the setup for mowing. Right now, I run a 21" mower with standard blades. I mostly bag in May because the grass is long, thick and wet oftenly. In mid June I mostly mulch with that same blade until the season ends...

    Opinions on changing company name

    I have some problems with the name I have right now and having a laywer would be far too expensive for what I need. So, it leaves me with changing names as a final solution. Luckilly, the company is still "young" so the impact would not be as bad. I am just worried about loosing some clients...

    Very steep slope

    I brought the cheapo Tory-Bilt and I was able to mow the whole thing. I must say I did a pretty good job. I had one hand on the extreme end of the handle holding tha bail. My other hand was on the lower handle. I would use that hand to push the mower and keep it straight.

    Gas pouring out from carb when tipping mower to clean deck

    I cannot tip my mower anymore without having a bunch of gas pouring out of the carb. I am raising the mower with the airfilter raising up like I am supposed to. Why is this happening? I never use to have this problem. The motor is a Kawasaki FJ180v Kai model.

    Competition

    There are some new companies around here for landscaping. As much as I don't like competition, I tell myself that there are a lot of lawns to mow in one town and that one company cannot do them all. So, I do my best at having a personalised service at a reasonable price. I aint gonna work for...

    Hegde trimming questions

    Trimming hedges that are about 5-6 feet high is rather easy for me, because I can reach with my KM-90 with the hedge trimming attachment. Alltho, what would be the best way to trim tall hedges that are 7 feet and above? Could I use a simple ladder or would that be a little dangerous? I also...

    Kawasaki FJ 180v low idle (with video)

    Here is a video of my mower. I just fixed it, but it doesn't sound right. It seems kind of loud. I don't know if it is because of the low revs or what, but I will will let the video speak for me. If so, how do I adjust the revs on the motor. There are no setting on the carb. Also, it is cold...

    SAE 30 Oil vs. 10W-30 oil

    I am getting tired of buying the little SAE30 1 liter oil pints for my mower. Instead, I would like the big 5 liters jugs, it is less expensive and I have more. I was thinking about getting 10W-30 instead. Would this be fine or not? It says that my mower needs SAE30 and 10W-30 when it get's...

    Kawasaki Fj 180v car cleaning

    Started the Ybravo to see how it would run, well it surges and I am not surprised. I have to clean the carb. I know how to do this, but I am not sure if it will fix the surging and I don't feel comfortable playing around with mixture screws (remove them while cleaning the carb). Also, I've...

    Landscaping trailer

    I got a trailer for a good price. I would like to repaint it and use it for hauling my stuff. The frame is a little rusty, but I did hit it at multiple palces with a hammer and it sounded good (not mooshy). Any input on how this trailer looks? It has three new tires (including the spare).

    Lawn Boy motor swap?

    I am posting this in hoping that I can get some info on swapping motors on a Deluxe 19 inch lawn boy from about 1975. Is there any motor that can fit on this with not too much difficulties? I tried with a GCV160, but did not work. I searched a lot, but couldn't find much.

    Kawaski motor doesn't always want to restart

    It randomly doesn't want to restart when I shuff it off for a few minutes. If I let it cool down or try several times screwing around with the choke it can restart.

    I am now at my end of season and I am already thinking about either getting a 32" ZTR for a good price or a wider walk behind. I've been also looking at stand ons but I am not a fan of those. If I buy a ZTR, I will probably use it 4 times a week if I am lucky, because my lawns are not that big...

    How to: unstick piston rings

    This is a simple mix to unglue rings that are seized onto the piston. It has worked very well for me on a 21 year old Lawn-Boy. Mix 30% of transmission oil and 70% of regular oil together. Replace the oil in the mower with this mix and run the mower a few times with this mix. Make sure to change...
