Incorrect setup, cable needs to be set, or need heavier throttle spring.

That probably bent the frame mounts if I had to guess.

While I love to snag a deal on used mowers, I think there is a pro with new equipment that you know all of the history, condition, maintenance, etc. If you bought a used mowers, it can sometimes be a tossup regarding the mechanical condition of the equipment and engine. With a new mower, if you...

Have you looked into Husqvarna Garden Tractors at all? I know they make, or made, a few models with fabricated 42/46/48" decks and came with Briggs V-Twins, which you would be familiar with, or Kawasaki V-Twins like in the JD. Husqvarna also has a lifetime warranty on their fabricated decks, so...

John Deeres also seem to retain their value really good, which is probably why that 10 year old X350 is still worth 2k.

Shoulda went for the X350...

What tractor, deck, etc. are we talking about? Why 1 mulching blade instead of 3?

For example, if I was selling a 2018 Husqvarna GT52XLSi, whose original price was $3500, Assuming everything is immaculate and fairly low hours, It could be sold for around $1500-1800. So typically around half of original price. You also have to factor in how the older models from around 2015 or...

Or owner didn't add enough/any oil to the fuel

Probably not, He just wanted to change the topic lol

yeah, there's an older model with a slightly thicker steering shaft and a newer one that's thinner. It can be hard to tell the difference so usually best to just buy the set.

Maybe, but they can't pull yard carts.

Hey all, I have a 2014 Craftsman Pro Series T7400 with one of those RS800 plastic transmissions and I'm looking to put something else on it. It has a heavy 54" reinforced deck and I mow a hilly property. I have a Tuff Torq K46 sitting around from a parts mower, but I'm worried that if I rebuilt...

That $900 difference is the difference between the Kohler running maybe 800 hours or more, and the Kawasaki which are known to easily get more than 1000 hours. As you say, Buy once, cry once, I just don't see that with the cub cadet.

Like StarTech said, just get a new steering shaft assembly.

I would still say Husqvarna.

Husqvarna is a great brand, best new mower brand if you ask me, but If you have 2 acres, don't bother even thinking about getting a base model Husqvarna like the YTH18542. It won't have enough power for your property and was made with the bare minimum features, like a weak transmission and a...

If it has a CVT, then that actually makes sense. I've had several riding mowers that had similar problems dues to a worn CVT belt, the thick belt on top of the transmission. With mine, I didn't want to have any more problems, so I ordered a GENUINE GT37401 CVT belt (dont waste your money on...

With half an acre, you'll probably hit the 4 year mark before 300 hours, so the JD warranty takes the win there. Kawasaki is often regarded as the "gold standard" for the best air-cooled engines. I really love them. Manual PTO could have it's fair advantages only that there are less parts that...

How is your drive belt?

I don't know much about small engine EFI systems, but maybe something to do with the injectors or an o2 sensor?

This is usually normal to some extent because when you lower it to idle, you are blocking the air from entering, which sets the mixture uneven temporarily, and that unburnt fuel is pushed into the hot muffler where it explodes. It wouldn't backfire if you always kept it at full throttle as you...

Yeah, that's where we have been buying parts. I did discover how good 8TEN blades were, now I put them on everything! Hipa makes some good parts too.

Me and my dad are running a repair business. I fix the riding mowers, he fixes mostly JD 300 series(316, 318), 400 series(425, 445,455), and JD gators. Where are you repair guys getting your parts? It sets him back a while waiting for JD OEM parts to ship, etc. (Not to mention how outrageous JD...

Are you able to turn the starter? May be a bad/stuck starter. I had a starter with a bad top bushing that got hot, blew up the magnet and that was the end of it of course. Sometimes those starters also get stuck in the engaged position. I say next step would be pull the engine shroud, and pull...

Well, when you think about it, it actually makes sense, similar to what ILENGINE said. When air is cold, it is more dense, thus the engine actually pulls more air in with the same stroke. The fuel mixture stays the same whether cold or hot. So it runs lean for a little bit, but it's normal and...

Startech, I can’t thank you enough. 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much! Will update later.

Sorry, it’s 926865

As you know, I’ve been trying to replace the blown Honda gxv670 in my hustler super z mini. I found a good Briggs and Stratton 24HP vtwin with less than 100 hours for $170 and I’m trying to adapt it to work. One of the problems is this is my first ztr that I’ve worked on and there are relays for...

It probably has a lot of old oil remaining in it, which would account for the extra ounces.

The spec is 48oz. Did you change the oil filter too? Just run it for a few minutes to let the oil fill up the filter and oil passages, etc. Are you on any kind of incline?

I would do whatever you can to fix it up. I've got an opposed twin from 1985 that's still running good, just needs new rings.

sweet, thank you!

Hi, My Hustler super Z mini's honda GXV670 is blown after 700 hours. I'm looking to swap the engine. The Honda's shaft size was 1.125 (diameter) x 3.75 (length), and I would ideally like to keep the original pulley and PTO. I'm having a hard time finding a used riding mower with a 1.125 shaft...

I wanted to CONVERT A BRIGGS TO DIESEL. I know I can just buy a Diesel engine, but I like a challenge. And remember the only dumb question is one you're too afraid to ask :)

I was thinking I could put injectors in the manifold

I love the 12v 5.9 Cummins :D

Ok, if I “need a turbo”, couldn’t I just fab a RHB31 to it? Also, I thought diesel’s were shorter strokes..

Alright, I'm gonna cut the chit chat and get to the question: COULD I convert my Briggs and Stratton V-Twin (445677) to use Diesel Fuel? It seems feasible to me. Would the oem carburetor work, or would I have to somehow make it fuel-injected? I think that if I replace the spark plugs with glow...

My dads got a JD 6x4 Gas Gator, we took the engine all apart because it was running bad. I think it had low compression so we got a rebuild kit with rings and pistons. The rings had tons of sludge and buildup in them. It has 4K hours on it 😦 lol only kawa could do something like that. Anyway...

Hey, love that profile pic!

Have you reset the governor?

Engine model no. ?

"Lapped the babes", huh? 🤔

@Alan46 did you mean a chat room?

Wdym?

You could also add a fuel shutoff. Also, verify that your anti backfire solenoid is working.

Get a rebuild kit for the carb or buy an aftermarket and swap all the new parts onto the old shell except the jets. Also, please don't post 2 threads, you won't get more answers.

Upload a pic of the engine and wiring?

Grab the con rod and if there is any movement, that's your knock. Just replace the con rod.
