I hope that you ordered a new belt too.

Have you checked the valve lash?

Craftsman is MTD and so is Cub Cadet. When viewed from a distance, the only noticeable difference is the color.

Local dealers have residential mowers and you will get the support when needed. Check with a local Gravely/Ariens dealer.

Spot on!

Generally, Gravely uses springs for belt tension and there is no adjustments. You should have a belt routing diagram on your deck and in the operators manual. Your spring could have stretched, broken or come off of the retainer. The bearing in the bracket may be shot. With the hours that you...

@StarTech is spot on. I find that the Rotary 13624 better than the Gravely blades. I run a Gravely Pro Turn 260 and have tried several brands and styles. Here's something that I've found that works really good. Get you a set of Rotary 6083. Also, get you a set of 1/4" blade spacers. The blade...

There is definitely something wrong on the Lawn Mower Forum end.

Your transaxles are Hydro-Gear ZT2800. https://www.hydro-gear.com/product/zt-2800/

Welcome. Give us your machine's model number and serial number. Those two things will help out.

FRAM TG8170 for the short filter. If you have clearance, you can use the FRAM TG3614, WIX 51348, NAPA 1348, Motorcraft FL910s, and etc.

Those Shindy rebuild kits are around $25. However, the float and float pin aren't included.

The dang thing was hiding from me.😅 I might have to visit my local Harbor Freight and get a couple. I intend to add a shut off valve in the fuel line. I was just out looking at the original carburetor. I didn't notice any obvious signs of a problem. The overflow tube is clear. The float needle...

Come on, tell the truth. 😅

It looks like nut grass and common Bermuda.

I figured that had better move swiftly on the carburetor replacement. Over the past few mornings I have noticed raw gasoline coming from the tail pipe. My suspicion was confirmed. Gasoline was mixing with the crankcase oil. The air filter and air filter box were dry. I changed the oil and...

The aftermarket carburetor and OEM fuel pump have been installed. It's not the easiest job. I finished the installation and get ready to adjust the idle. I cranked and cranked and cranked. I know that I had everything right. I looked down and saw my vise-grips clamping off the fuel line. Big...

Have you jacked it up and manipulated the steering assembly by hand. I'm talking about getting down there and turning the front wheels by hand?

I think that I will pick up an OEM fuel pump tomorrow. I may as well replace it while I'm in there.

Yes. It seems to be working fine. It runs great after initial warm up.

I did notice that the main jet in the kit is quite a bit smaller than the OEM jet. This thing has had problems since new. It's just gotten worse over time. I'm thinking that a new main jet and needle will cure the problem. Here's what I ordered. I see that Stens carries a similar product for...

I wish that I could get a Walbro carburetor for this Kawasaki Mule. It's a 2019 Kawasaki Mule SX 4x2. I listed the engine above. Here's the kit that I plan on ordering. It's made in Japan and should work well. https://www.denniskirk.com/shindy/carb-repair-kit-03-122.p178251.prd/178251.sku

UPDATE The rich mixture problem continues. On cold soak starts, it will often flood. I have ordered a All Carb Chinese knockoff from Amazon. It's one of the more expensive offerings. I plan on installing it tomorrow. I also plan on rebuilding the OE Nikki carburetor for backup. I will give...

Briggs and Stratton Vanguard might have a good replacement engine. Honda as well. https://repowerspecialists.com/products/john-deere-gator-6x4-with-kawasaki

I'm reporting a lot nearly every day.

It's time for a new filter and pre-filter. It's been wet. It could be from water or gas. Always tip mower away from the filter.

Do you use a battery tender? If you don't keep the battery charged, it will have a shorter life. Did you read the entire thread? There is a battery inside of the hour meter.

The forums has become overrun with spam lately. I guess the spammers want in on the Christmas revenue.

You're a little late. You should have bought the ZTXL.

My suggestion is to take the old pulley to somewhere like Bearings and Drives or Motion Industries and have them match it up.

There hasn't been an actual written budget since 1996. The government has been operating on omnibus bills and continuing resolutions since then. That fact is a real problem.

I've got plenty. I got this information today from a local gun shop.

An 18% price increase in the cost of ammunition will take effect before January 1. This is a direct result of borrowing to much and printing too much paper money.

Turning off the TV news and not subscribing to print media has done me wonders. My anxiety level is near zero. The media and weather folks are fear merchants. For the last couple of years, I have lost most of my fruit in March or early April. By the way, I live in the extreme northern area of...

Here's a little history lesson. Before Woodrow Wilson there was no income tax. All government revenue was derived from tariffs.

Make sure that your deck is adjusted correctly. It should be level side to side and 1/8" higher than the front.

I have been busy and haven't had a chance to order the parts.

🤦‍♂️

Such a shame. The 21" Snapper Ninja Commercial mower was creme of the crop.

@StarTech is correct. The Echo Speed Feed 400 is the perfect trimmer head for the SRM225. Check the fuel lines, fuel filter, vent filter, primer bulb, and fuel tank grommet. Those parts can be purchased as a kit.

I don't think that you're doing your friend any favor with his new engine.

You had better find a repair manual before cracking the crankcase on that new engine.

The governor adjustments are separate from the high idle adjustment.

No load is 3,600 RPM https://www.briggsandstratton.com/na/en_us/product-catalog/engines/riding-lawn-mower-engines/cxi-series-engines.html Click on the Power Curve PDF and it confirms 3,600 RPM with no load.

@slomo A set of Tweels for the OP’s Snapper 125 would cost more than the mower is worth.

To save wear and tear on the gauge wheels, make sure that the deck isn’t riding on them. The wheels aren’t supposed to be in constant contact with the ground.
