Yea I'm not sure what they mean by two different turf tires. Maybe call them or do a little more checking for spec's and see what the difference is.

Bar tires typically costs more than turfs. And I believe the bar tires recommended are 21-8x 8 versus 20-8x 8.. So a bit higher.. At least on mine they are...

I think Tom3 is right about the discharge chute pointing down too much. I know it's against safety police law but I never run any of the extended or flip up clutes on any mower I have for that reason. "(and makes the deck wider than it has to be.) "

I honestly think 2 1/2" is still to low. Especially with a 72" deck. I may be the only one but I mow at 4"-4 1/2" ..? And never clump.. Not sure if mulching will be any better if your grass is real thick.

Sounds as though you need a new plug at your electric clutch to start with if you say they're melted or burnt. My PTO switch is probably the same as yours and I replaced mine once already. Very possible your electric clutch is bad or going bad and would explain your wires being burnt. Again I'd...

Yea that's the way I've always done it. And if I ever took my mower to a shop and seen them cleaning it with dental pick before they worked on it......Well need I say more....

I know I'll get my butt kicked but I use compressed air and a pressure washer...

Should of gave him an hour minimum charge and seen how his temper stayed..?

I never ever ever put a ohm meter on a plug for checking condition of a plug. His video talked a lot about resistive spark plugs that's all well and good. But if it's just a cheapo mower plug there isn't much to check. I always looked at the condition of the spark and went from there...

I'm not in the business anymore but never ever let the customer tell you that it's probably something simple and easy to fix..? I could never understand if it was so simple WHY did you bring it here...??

Not sure what the manufacturers thinking is but I'm sure they make what's best for their particular mower ...They wouldn't put a so-so blade on if they know there's something even better to make their mower work better... On a side note I went from Gator g3 blades which has about a 3" cutting...

As a buyer I wouldn't believe that story if you told me.? You better get a new hour meter...

With a 15k budget the choices are many. A good new 48" -54" machine should be much less than that . Keep in mind a 48-52-54_60" decks are going to wider than advertised because of the chute overhang. Your bank shown in the picture shouldn't be anything a ZT can't handle. Might be a little...

I honestly" wouldn't" be afraid doing it. Does it make the hydro's work harder.?? To some degree I'm sure. But for the little you say you're going to be it I wouldn't worry to much.. Ask the dealer you buy it from what they think. Though I think I know what keeping the warranty in mind.

Yea it would be blank if it had no power. Thinking you're going to need a new hour meter. They do go bad . Not uncommon.

Highly doubt you can reset them. Do you have 12v to it with the key on or it is running. If you have voltage the meter is probably bad. Maybe it disconnected..?

What kind of mower you using.. Have any pictures.?

You don't suppose this was the "roll out" grass mat they use as a quick green lawn.? Would kinda explain that it's just in the front that people see when buying a house. Sorta looks like a layer put over the cheap fill.

That sucks. I'm sure the tank could be repaired by the right shop. Not sure how available a new tank would be which I believe is the route they'd want to go. Post back if you will and let us know how you make out.. Good luck..

I hate to ruin your day but believe you have to pull the motor out. My Woods 6210 is almost identical to yours and I took a look and it doesn't look like any other way. Bar from cutting the crossbar out and that's welded in now and bringing it out the top. Not sure if that's the way to go.. I...

Can you post some pictures..? May give us more of a clue..? And what reservoir are you talking about.?

I'm not thinking a warm weather grass would be your answer in Boston..? I'm curious what's down under 2-3" . Kinda sounds like someone may have put some &hitty fill in and sprinkled grass seed on top.

Check these guys out. "repowerpros.com" Had good luck with them and very knowledgeable.

Maybe stick a thermometer in the ground in different area and even compare with some others on the block. Hey they probably think you're nuts already when they seen you listening to the ground...! ?

Do the other neighbors on your block have this same issue..? Just wondering if salt is the problem it would be everyone's problem..

Pullers work great but I still always give them a tap on the end of the puller after you have tension on it with a brass or lead hammer. Rarely do I rely on the puller by itself.

Looks as though it's riveted on. Aside from drilling them out and disconnecting the wire and reinstall. Is that switch factory installed.? It may just pry out if you get behind it with a screwdriver. " maybe"..!

Are these the foam handle grips you're talking about..? These are on a Woods but should be the same..

I have one and while handi they do take up room when not using. I find it's always in the way for some reason. And I can't stand just letting it outside and get ruined..

You may just be out of luck. Try it out without and keep an eye open in the mean time. Keeping checking FB and CL. Good luck to you.

If this battery is much more than a year or two old it could very well be the battery. Have it check.... I know people get 2-4-6-8 years out of some BUT some only last 6 months. There a reason most only put a 30-90 day warranty on them.

Not sure if they were fixed or flip up. You may end up making something. Most chutes were probably taken off long ago and thrown out. Taken off because they made the deck wider and get in the way if they weren't flip up. Have you tried using it without it on? You may find you don't need or want...

Is this the 38" deck / 2 blade/ with the right angle gear boxes.?

Hey bert...I think everyone was referring to looking at the flywheel side of the engine.

Thanks so much for your research and input. I'll be doing this in the next day or so, I'll let everyone know how it goes. I honestly believe that once I start adjusting it will make sense. Don't think you can adjust the wrong cylinder with the wrong timing mark without something seeming strange...

Just took a look and the thermostat is on " left" looking from the flywheel. Water pump is on the "right" rear of the motor. Still a bit confused but I'll do a little more investigation.. Thanks

? just the opposite of what I seen... I'll check where the t- stat is.. Thanks a bunch..

Thanks Riv. I did see that manual ( your link doesn't seem to load) but doesn't mention what cylinder is which . I did see something somewhere else that said #2 is on the left looking at the flywheel. Assuming that's right but just looking for 2nd opinion to satisfy myself. ?

Wanting to adjust valves on a fd620d. Not sure how the cylinders are numbered meaning which is #1 and #2 as viewed from the flywheel. I know the specs and seen the timing marks but just want to be sure which cylinder is which.. Thanks

it's like buying a battery and getting the mower for free..

They've came a long way. But at a price. sure beats the old days and a 100' cord.... eventually a 30' and 70' ?

New cool thing.. Quote below "A hashtag—introduced by the octothorpe symbol (#)—is a type of metadata tag used on social networks such as Twitter and other microblogging services. It lets users apply dynamic, user-generated tagging that helps other users easily find messages with a specific...

Yea I'd disconnect the linkage from the actuator and see what happens. Still won't prove the gears aren't totally stripped. Also while you have the actuator disconnected the deck should move freely up and down without binding. If you do find the actuator bad they can be found a lot cheaper than...

I'd say your lift actuator is toast...

I'm thinking someone changed out the deck tires. Normally the original tires are flat proof with no valve stems. And the flat proof tires do wear out so it wouldn't surprise me... Should be easy enough to check...

I've never compared it to anything. How close was it to the electronic one???

I've been trusting one for a long time. Nothing to calibrate to so you have to go by ear and some common sense to use too. As long as they're taken care of and not bent up I think they're good.

Honestly I think I know where I was. I had LawnmowerMower.com bookmarked for many years and just wasn't active or posted till recently. Awake now guys...:geek:

Told ya I was sleeping. :sleep: God Lord I just didn't think that long..

You got me thinking now. I guess you're right. I have it bookmarked as "lawnmowerforum.com.?? Things changed a little and guessing that messed me up. Things like this happen when I sleep too much..?
