Hydros were never made for towing period. It does degrade your hydro and will make it potentially overheat. Now it's a little bit different with a riding mower because they were made to have things like a front blade, bagger, sleeve hitch and those accessories and more. But ZTRs weren't made for...

Businesses want to find the cheapest way possible for you to use a product until the warranty or return window is over, then things start breaking and it's just another throwaway product. Don't you think if businesses actually cared about making high quality products there wouldn't be PLASTIC...

What were you trying to prove? Just because every carmaker makes an ev doesn't mean that it's good or even better that gas engines. And they will not last close to as long. Let's take the highest performance cars of tesla and lamborghini. Tesla model S vs Lamborghini Veneno. The difference? A...

Yes, because I'm in the very small minority that is not overrun by the liberal wokeness that is driving America and our freedom into the ground.

Exactly

Just because it is "the way to go" doesn't mean that does the job well. And why does toro snapper and stihl ma me battery powered equipment now? Because they want to follow the stupid regulations made by california for pollution. A single battery for landscaping will make more "pollution" when...

I don't want to talk about it Rivets😒

Obviously, some people have a good sense of judgement between what is crap and what will work for more than two years.

Stay away from the personal pace of you will have endless problems

If I were you I would get this Craftsman M230 21" Self propelled Push mower. I swear on my life that with proper maintenance and care, this WILL last you 20+ years. I have recommended this to over 10 people and they haven't ever had a complaint, it fits all their needs. It has the higher rear...

Toro sucks honestly

Here's some things to try. Try some gator blades, somehow they usually fix this blowout issue. Is your deck level? Adjust as needed. Your deck might also have buildup or a blockage of grass.

I was given a 1970s ish Honda EG1000 generator which I have found has no spark and needs a carburetor. The problem I am having is figuring out what Honda engine this is (GX160, GX190, etc) so I can order the proper parts. Can I even get these parts or are they not made anymore? I am fine with an...

Compression can't accurately be tested on engines with a compression release, but typically an engine with one will have between 60 and 90 PSI. To check to see if a compression release is working there are 3 ways I can describe. I will ignore the type of engine (OHV / OHC / flathead) in order...

That's what I like to see! This kid knows his stuff! Any advice you would add to that?

Well it's really the small things. The DSAI coils, the float needle, etc. These engines just don't deserve to exist.

I am very brand loyal to craftsman. 2 craftsman riding mowers, 3 cordless drills, A recip saw, a cordless impact, 3/8 cordless ratchet and power inverter, several socket sets, a craftsman pressure washer, and some screwdrivers. Only reason I bought a McGraw 8 gallon air compressor was because it...

They are a bit finnicky, make sure you are choking it when starting, because it will make the mixture richer and almost simulate starter fluid. Sometimes it's just time for a new carb, and make sure you are starting it a lot. That seems to keep the carb clean. Good luck, that is a great machine...

My T3000 does the same thing. The tires actually have a bit of camber and the wheels do not exactly go straight

Bought a craftsman dgs6500 with a kohler sv735 vtwin engine for $300. Previous owner replaced the head gaskets and couldn't get it started or something? This was a few months ago before all the snow here in oregon. Got it running...BARELY. Was smoking bad when running (Major disappointment #1)...

replaced and it fired right up, runs smoother than butter

Tried again today (don’t have new belt yet) and worked like last time, came off second I moved forward. This time it didn’t make an exploding noise, just flopped off the PTO and all the other pulley that don’t have keepers. So I put it back on easily and happened again only on the PTO pulley...

Tried again after I fixed the tangled belt, and it worked even at idle pretty good for about 5 minutes , I throttle up about halfway, let off brake and as soon as I started going BANG…and it happened again☹️ Will order new Kevlar belt and will update soon

It’s the same belt I have been using, haven’t replaced Until I know that’s the problem

That’s what happened the first time. The next time I moved it out of the hole forward 2”

Yes it has a releasable handle connected to a spring that tensions it, will try to reroute belt again tomorrow.

I’m pretty sure the belt is routed correctly. I did it twice the same way. Second time lasted a bit longer because I moved the keeper a little bit more towards the front of the mower. It’s the exact same setup as in the diagram below and I’m pretty sure the belt was routed as shown, but I’ll...

I was mowing after I had replaced the spindles, blades, and 1/3 idler pulleys ( they mowed freely and were in good condition and didn’t have replacements), engaged blades and the engine bogged a bit (even at high rpm) and the whole mower shook like crazy until it built up rpm, then it just shook...

hoping I don't have to go through that lol

is raisman a good brand? https://www.ebay.com/itm/134215918844

im just confused why the coils are going out on my machinery at the same time, or maybe its just bad luck

noooo, I meant in general, not ON THIS MOWER. I replaced 2 coils on a craftsman dgs6500 courage twin (converted DSAI to MDI) lol. I have not replaced the coil on this mower since I bought it. the previous owner did ONCE

I purchased a Craftsman II gt18 garden tractor with a 18hp OPPOSED twin briggs for $50, and when we picked it up didn't run. seller had replaced the "distributor" (coil) but we discovered that he had grounded the kill wire...LOL. we hooked up the kill wires PROPERLY and the thing started up...

I have a Kohler courage pro sv735-0016 on a craftsman dgs6500 (917.288600) that wont work right, very finicky and kicks over a bit with starting fluid. I’m done messing around and wasting my time on a bad engine. So my question is: 1. How easy do you think it would be to swap the engine? 2...

I do too. That’s why I’m trying to do this, I’m not gonna charge my customers the $100 for the harness and $100 for labor!

I know! All the harnesses are $100+, it’s insane!

I’m trying to FIND the parts, so I can buy them

I could get arrested for not buying the correct part but tweaking it to fit? I don’t think so, it is physically impossible to fix the existing harness

So I’m looking online and there I no way that I’m going to spend 100 dollars on a wiring harness fit for this model so I’m thinking I could buy a harness that is very close to what I need but has that key switch port. Leave me a link if you find a close harness

I recently bought a Husqvarna GT riding mower and the previous owner absolutely destroyed the wiring so I am looking to replace it to its former glory and I am unable to find a good wiring harness and smart switch. Is it possible that I could replace only the smart switch with the key switch if...

Change the oil very frequently and always run at max rpm. You will have to see yourself if the deck or bagger are compatible with the gt. Look under both and understand how the lift mechanism works and where the mounting points are. If they are the same, they are exchangeable. Same with the...

Dyt means deluxe yard tractor and gt means garden tractor, referring to size. The gt5000 is much larger, has more features and higher ease of use. Anything would be better than the engine in the dyt4000. I personally have had a gt5000 and it was great! Still runs great today, at 1200 hours :0

Started it up this morning and no smoke??? Quite strange but I’ll start it later this afternoon and give an update

Was a little bit over when I was looking at it, my fault, but only by a sixteenth of an inch. I drained a little bit out and it still smoked. What is a leak down test?

I have a Briggs 24HP vtwin on a craftsman pyt9000 that is quite a mystery… Typically I run my engines about every few days (yes I know it I’d a waste of gas, but I don’t really care about dinosaurs much) and all’s well, but I hold off for about a week. And now it’s smoking blue! Its very faint...

UPDATE: This is a hydro gear 618-0319 transaxle

I have a Craftsman PYT 9000 model no 247.289800 that I think from my research has a hydro-gear trans on it, and when I’m driving (except for frat area once it gets some speed) it will make these low pitched whining like sounds, it’s when I first press on the pedal and when going on a even slight...

its really not that hard to replace the cam, its just right there after you take the oil pan off...

hmmm, thats a big tradeoff

prob 300+, just depends what your budget is because i know that this project is starting to cost a bit
