I got me some of that Texas Mesquite wood for smoke flavor and smoked some burgers but i've not been able to find them .

Brand doesn't really matter , but if your lawn tractor has a idler sheave with a bad bearing in many instances the bearing only can be replaced . The ones i've done had a 202 ball bearing or very similar .

Many mowers have a 3 blade deck . Maybe i'm missing how a clamp blade blocker works on the center blade of a 3 blade deck .

Where does a person find EDIT?

Due to mowing conditions, I do a lot of reverse travel and the mow in reverse safety becomes a nuisance. When safety is NOT a concern at SandburRanch I've found a simple temporary over ride on the X350 for the mow in reverse button. Not disconnecting any wires it can be accomplished from the...

Has anyone developed a convenient way to lube the sleeve bearing that supports the steering shaft near the pinion gear on a X350?

I thought possibly the more expensive X350 may be a little better than the box store tractors, but I guess not in the seat department. As a test, the tractor has always been mounted and dis-mounted from the right side in its 52 hour life span. Left edge never touched with my butt cheeek A**...

I'll be absent until e-mail notifications is corrected. You folks have a nice time looking for your subject matter. I don't have enough time remaining in life to put up with the hassle.

It's certain many have different types of equipment ( 4 cycle - 2 cycle ) so gas of the correct nature is important to specific equipment. How do you label your gas cans as 2 or 4 cycle, maybe Stabil if it was added and when was fresh gas put in the container? Do you have a convenient way of...

The X350 John Deere lists a k46 transmission but the D140 spec sheet sold at Lowe's doesn't indicate which transmission it has. Does someone know which transmission the D 140 has or have a link to that information? Thanks

Just thinking, if manufacturers would read some of the forums available to determine what bugs owners / operators the most, how well they could improve their product for so little cost. Riding mowers directed. Example : 1) it just clicks 2) i'm setting on the seat and nothing when i turn the...

If brake pads for your old mower become scarce or the economy has you down, they can be made of wood. Oak or Hickory works well.

For those that have a horizontal mounted filter that seems to have no good way to change without getting oil everywhere but where it needs to be, in the drain pan, try this method. Loosen the filter until it can just be turned by hand with some effort. Drill a hole in the side of the filter...
