    Are mulching blades about the same?

    I have an old 48" Scag walk behind with side discharge that I use to mow my yard. I put Gator mulching blades on it to help with leaves this time of year. I don't have a mulching kit on it, just the blades. I still put the bag on, and it gets full, but it is obviously chopping up stuff more...

    Lazer won't crank

    One thing I really hate is doing a search, finding a thread started by somebody who has the same problem I've got, and the thread just dies. Annoying. So I like to finish off a thread, for anybody searching in the future. As it turns out, my PTO switch is bad. Power comes in to the ignition...

    Exmark Lazer Z Transmission Filter Issue/Question

    For whatever it's worth, I'm looking to change the filter on my mower as well. That filter number (1094180) cross references to a WIX 51374, which can be had at most auto parts stores for about 10 bucks. I went to their website and entered all my info just to verify, and that's what came up.

    Lazer won't crank

    I checked the switches for the seat, brake, and both control arms. All are good. I didn't check the tilt switch, but I'm thinking a basic mercury switch shouldn't be an issue. For some reason, my relays that were clicking yesterday are not today. So now I'm getting power to the starter...

    Lazer won't crank

    I'm looking at some wiring diagrams, which I'm not particularly great at following, and have a question. I need some help understanding the difference between the seat delay module (103-5218) and the seat switch (1-513152). I would assume the seat switch is a simple on/off switch that acts as...

    Lazer won't crank

    I replaced both relays and now get a solid *click* from both. I guess both relays were bad, which I find odd. It still doesn't crank though, so I guess there's multiple problems, which I suppose make two bad relays seem not really so odd. . So with the old relays, I had power to the starter...

    Lazer won't crank

    I get what your saying. I need to get a signal to the solenoid, which I assume comes from the starter relay. My solenoid (which appears to be fairly new) has a pair of black wires on one terminal, and an orange wire on the other terminal that goes to the starter relay. As I mentioned, I'm...

    Lazer won't crank

    Thanks for the info. I'll do some checking. I'm a little confused about one thing though... I assume (though I probably shouldn't) that the solenoid is getting 12v from the battery or it wouldn't crank when jumped with a screwdriver. I further assume when it's operating with the key that...

    Lazer won't crank

    I just bought an old ('04, model LHP5223KA Serial # 486852 ) Lazer Z HP. It runs a bit rough, and won't start or even crank with the key. Here's the story I got... Seller is the original owner, and says he was mowing last week and it died. Says he never had an issue with it until now. He...

    Diesel starts then dies

    Thanks for the suggestions. We had a chance to work on it today, and initially it started and ran for just a couple minutes. We verified that the fuel pump was running, and drained a bunch of water from the separator. We also pulled the thermostat. Apparently they had another identical mower...

    Diesel starts then dies

    I'm trying to get help someone else get their mower running. It's an Exmark Lazer Z XS with a diesel engine. They tell me it ran great, mowed great, but it started to shut off at random. It will restart, but then dies. They've had to restart it 4 or 5 times just trying to get it on a...

    Need a carb

    I've got an FC420V, and I broke the carb. They're no longer available through the usual suppliers, but I've seen some on Amazon in the $180 range. There's carbs available for other Kawasaki motors that look identical, and they're in the $50 range. Obviously they're going to have different...

    Riding Mower wheel projects?

    I find myself with a collection of riding mower wheels/tires laying around and I'd like to do something with them. Got something cool you built with mower wheels? I'll probably build a welding cart, and maybe a wheel barrow. Any other cool ideas? Post a pic.

    Losing all my fuel through the carb

    I have a pressure washer with a 16 hp Vanguard. It sat in storage for years, but according to the guy I got it from it ran well prior to going into storage. When I got it, the fuel tank was empty. I put a little fuel in it just to see if it would run, and it started up...smoked a bit, but it...

    Electric start retro-fit

    It' got the hole for the starter, and they're tapped. No ring gear though. I suppose I should look for a complete motor for parts, rather than trying to get the parts individually.

    Electric start retro-fit

    I've got a Command Pro 13 on my mower, and I'm tired of pulling the rope. There's several mower repair people in my area advertising parts on craigslist, and they've obviously got a bunch of mowers lying around. If I wanted to add electric start to this motor, is it a simple process of bolting...

    Dumb dipstick question

    I knew it was going to turn out being a dumb question. So it's got a little clip on it...push down to release it. It's a rubber hose, for draining oil. What threw me off was not looking at it close enough and realizing it was flexible. I thought it was a metal tube. Thanks for the input.

    Timemaster idler pulley upgrade?

    Model is 20199. When I look at the parts diagram, this is what I get... It's listed as item #26, which is part #1207082. The listing says this pulley also fits the Toro Turfmaster, model #22200, which is the commercial model. When I look at the parts diagram for that mower, this is what I...

    Dumb dipstick question

    I picked up a free mower on craigslist, mostly just for the motor. I'm checking the oil and stuff, getting ready to fire it up, and I can't figure out what this dipstick on the right is for, or even how to get it out for that matter. So I look at the top, and what is supposed to be a...

    Timemaster idler pulley upgrade?

    I have a Timemaster and the idler pulley is seized. When I look up parts, I generally check a comparable Turfmaster diagram just to see if there's an upgraded part. I see a notation on this parts diagram I'm looking at that says "See Attachments and Accessories for Optional Metal Idler Pulley...

    I'm lost....who's the Honda model # expert?

    I have a mower that's got some transmission issues, and I'm starting to look at parts prices online. I'm not getting very far though, since my model number isn't listed anywhere, even on the Honda website. The numbers are... Model: HRX2172HXA Serial No: MAGA-2011018 I can get close, but not...

    WB mulching Kit - Husqvarna / YazooKees

    This is a longshot, I know.... I have a 2004 Yazoo Kees Kutter 36 (KKH36132), which is the exact same mower as the 2006-2008(?) Husqvarna walk behind 36" mower (WG3632P), since Husqvarna bought YK and for a while just painted them orange instead of red. Anyway, I'm trying to find a mulch kit...

    When they don't maintain

    Picked up a Timemaster, cheap. Guy said it ran good but "just won't start". I took a chance, took it apart, found a mess. Carb was full of water too. An hour with the pressure washer, and some carb cleaner, and it runs. A few parts and it'll mow. About $125 into it and I'll have a decent...

    McLane self propel not working

    I was going to post this in the brand specific section, but didn't see one for McLane. Anyway, I'm looking at a used 21" McLane rotary mower, self propelled, and the guy says the self propel stopped working. That's all I've got to go on for now since I haven't seen the mower yet. I tried to...

    Another slope thread. Equipment advice

    Howdy. I have to mow the side walls around a catch basin. Local code requires that it be kept below 1 foot, so I'm either mowing very tall grass, or mowing it often I measured the steepest part of the slope and came up with a 48% grade (23" rise over a 48" run). That section is just below...

    Need advice on old Jonsered (Stiga?)

    I was on my phone, on Craigslist, killing time on a road trip, and I found this mower. I did some searching but can't come up with much other than it seems to be an older Jonsered, which I had never heard of, and which seems was some time ago absorbed by Husqvarna. I tried doing a bunch of...

    No start, and electrical strangeness

    Howdy. First post, so I hope it's in the right place. I don't know if I should post in the repair section, or the brand section. I'm trying to get my mothers mower going...Craftsman DYT4000, 18.5hp Intek plus. Last year she had a starting problem, and I traced it to a bad starter solenoid...
