I have the same back issue and I use the long grabber as mentioned above. I also have a "Yamahauler" golf cart to load them into and then either dump them in the back-40 to break down, or dump in a burn-pit . .. .

try - "Oregon® Gator® G3™ 96-677 is your go-to lawn mower blade in all conditions including wet, dry, and sandy turf. Gator® G3™ blades offer superior mulching, fewer bag stops, and cleaner side discharge than the standard manufacturer blade. It’s not a replacement blade. It’s an upgrade."

is the brake releasing properly....?

what's the problem - they have at least another season on them . . . . 🫣

is it just me or is this site experiencing gremlin problems . . . . nothing seems to load in a timely manner, i.e. minutes to change pages

Does your wife know you have this sickness.... or does she enjoy the solitude :ROFLMAO:

aren't both the rear wheels "Bolt-on" style with 3 bolts.... ??? https://www.partstree.com/models/lt-1000-lt-1000-14-craftsman-lawn-tractor-1991-03/tire-and-transaxle-assembly-5/

like so many, it appears the poster wants to keep everyone in suspense, ho-hum . . . . . 😙

are you each getting OT $ for those extra 20 hours...?

all my life I've heard said time and time after time, "Someone" should do something!". Well, that time and someone are here. We the People, are the only ones truly too blame. The power of the vote and protest are ours to do with as we please .... jmo

could have fooled me, there have been times when she's just helped herself to my pocket money, just like our government does . . . . .

my comments weren't meant as personal digs, just reality check. Early on I never really thought it was all that big a deal until a dealer pointed out that the engine housing can get just as clogged up as a mowing deck. That woke me up and I started doing that cleaning every time and not just a...

that depends largely on who you're married to, my wife is more frugal than me so no problem at all ....

always get a $ deposit $ - works for me . . . . .

no excuse for letting it get like that when the engine is totally accessible with an air hose or water hose. My IS2600 gets totally cleaned after each mowing. Radiator screen gets pulled and cleared as well as the radiator cleared of silt and crude..... pay me now or pay me later.....

:unsure: those folks are usually referred to as Dem's ... 😤

you'll come to regret that decision too ...

uhmm, how do you pay your bills by closing up shop... hmmm....

time will tell.....

that is generally true; however, the poster says: "It has NEVER started by pulling the rope, not since we bought it.". that said I'd guess (?) there might be a severe rust build up . . . . . easy to check that first then move on to something more severe. jmo

"It has NEVER started by pulling the rope"...

hmmm, what's missing from Star Tech's avatar photo is a magnificent orange glow .....

I'l start by asking what is the actual make of just the engine on this generator? Then I'll say that if it's starting via the electric battery then listen to echo what "slomo" stated in post #2.... I'll finish by saying that there's probably rust on the fly wheel and/or the armature preventing...

if I were in an HOA the association would be furious with me for turning my worthless Gravely ZT2148XL into a planter.... but it gives the place a different look!

uhmm, your second mistake was buying an electric mower. Your first was moving into an HOA; but, we all have our burdens to carry.... Now, get out there and get some exercise!

this happens when businesses seek out cheap labor, to appease stockholders and customers. Quality costs, and as Fram says, "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later." For 30 years I was a loyal GM buyer, until the day their HQ Customer Service VP told me, (and I quote) ....your oil leak from...

as far as I'm concerned, the American consumers have only themselves to blame for the cost of products. They willingly pay $1k for a dang cell phone, another $300-400 a month for serves and app's, etc,. $500 +/- for Taylor Swift tickets, $300 +/- for sporting events, $250 for some felons'...

Now, if only he had simply "complied", hmmmm..... :unsure:

well, I guess we'll never know. Hmmmmm............

Do you know what year this engine is ... ? Give us the engine detail #'s, etc... good photo's of stamping/marking, labels are great..... my son will see what he can dig up!

being easily amused can be a blessing. That's why I keep at least one mirror in the house...

for what it's worth, my son works in an engine machine shop (any engine at all) and has manuals galore, and I'll see what he might be able to find...

if I might make a suggestion, since it probably not a workday, go get a bottle of Jim Bean "Honey" and some Ginger Ale. Mix it 2-2-1 Bourbon. Then find something enjoyable on tv, or a good book, and have a couple glasses. All that political "shit" from both sides will fade away. At least...

dang it, my bad . . . . . what is it they say about good intentions 😖

Ditto......!

well, if it's any consolation there are plenty of "Safe spaces" and "Sanctuary locals" you can run to.....

Sonny & Cher - - - and, "The Beat Goes On", and on, and on, and on............ 🙄

did you ever get this issue figured out. 3-1/2" - 4" is not high at all, that's pretty much my standard cutting height.... if I'm gone for a month I'll have to cut anywhere from 9" - 12" and only have to slow down my speed too about 1/2 - 2/3rds normal speed.

Thanks, but no offense taken... forums like these almost need a mandatory "fill in the blanks", i.e. pertinent make, model, part#, etc. and add any photo's for original postings - instead of trying to read posters minds. I know no one wants to try reading mine, it will be a fast assignment... 🤔

I'm sorry, do I genuflect now, or at some later time . . . . . 🥱 Maybe it would be simpler for the poster to just trade it in for a new easier unit.... 😉

My bad, I didn't assume you didn't do your due diligence since you do a great job in your posts, I simply goofed up and responded to your post assuming it was the original poster replying. So, another note for next years resolutions - look to see who wrote what first ..... 🫣

You originally stated that,"The current belt is 60” - as has been mentioned already, this is the incorrect belt. It absolutely positively requires the M158130 -149.98 " belt. Either you're routing the belt wrong, or the snowblower is not installed totally in sync with the tractor. There are no...

in the replacement parts section, what belt part # does it call for ... ?

"NO" actually HE didn't, that was StarTech who provided some spec's; but, that's no guarantee they match what his unit requires...

Uhmmm, like NO you haven't...!

do you have any of it? They only need a small piece to measure the inside diameter. Then just get 6 - 8", route it to where it goes and cut off any remaining....

do you have the old hose..? If so, just take it to any auto store and have them match it up . . . . .

buy some Moth Balls and put them into a baggie, pin prick the baggie a lot, then place the baggie under the cowl and on top of the engine shroud to keep rodents from building any nests in there ....

how about starting at the beginning, i.e. - did you buy this tractor and snowblower new, and do you have the manuals? - - - link - - - http://manuals.deere.com/omview/OMM177515_19/OUO2004,0000D2F_19_20151030.html that thing should handle 3' of snow with ease if working properly..... my 40+...
