    Age old question, Winter Storage?

    Lets use a little common sense here. From the website: https://priproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/2015-PRI-G-Flyer.pdf They say, and I cut and pasted from the description on their website: PRI-G is a super concentrated, complete fuel treatment that improves any type of gasoline...

    Age old question, Winter Storage?

    Battery tenders (the brand, but also others - I like Accumate) are smart battery chargers and DO NOT work like trickle chargers. A 'tender' or 'maintainer' senses the voltage, charges the battery in several stages, and shuts off. When the voltage drops it will turn on again and bring the...

    Pulley Problem

    Ok, I admit EVERY inanimate object in life can be repaired. "That's the best durn axe I've ever had. Replaced the handle three times and the head twice". I could make a cross section of a V-belt, (well, a few of them), grind the torn steel off the top pulley half, position the cross sections...

    Pulley Problem

    After 20 years some of the pulleys' bearings felt dry. I think I replaced 4 of the 6 on the deck. The ones that remained felt fine.

    Pulley Problem

    Your diagnosis is all wrong. The pulley ripped apart and is beyond saving. Were I on a desert island w/ no access to parts, and had a shop with grinders and welding equipment, then sure, it could be restored if there were no other options. But for twenty odd bucks it is simply not worth it...

    Replacing the primary drive belt on a Craftsman GT3000

    Sorry about that. I thought the GT3000 was the model, but evidently not. Seat decal shows 917.275023

    Replacing the primary drive belt on a Craftsman GT3000

    I rebuilt the mower deck on my GT3000 this past spring. At that time, while I had the deck off the tractor I jacked it up to see about replacing what I call the Primary Drive Belt. This belt comes off the engine's crankshaft pulley, goes aft to the hydro trans and picks up a drive pulley and...

    Pulley Problem

    In the upper right corner of your picture, it says Welcome and below that My Account. I tried again and a different page offered me an account and said "Become a Dealer". So I was mistaken. Run of the mill public can create an account and buy from them. Dealers probably get a bigger discount.

    Pulley Problem

    The Stens website says you must be a dealer and logged in to buy from them.

    Pulley Problem

    The Stens website says you must be a dealer and logged in to buy from them. Who else (retailer/distributor) carries Stens parts? Edit: I just did a search (memo to me, search first, ask questions later) and found Stens pulleys on ebay. Looks exactly the same down to the rivets. The pic on...

    Pulley Problem

    I rebuilt the mower deck on my Craftsman GT3000 tractor last spring. After grinding off the rust, epoxying the underside and painting it, I replaced several pulleys, belts, and one of the bearing/blade holder assemblies. Yesterday while mowing, I heard a loud squeal followed by smoke and...

    Craftsman LT2000 -> Does not Start... Help Needed.

    An internal comb. engine needs air, fuel, spark, and compression to start. Troubleshooting usually begins by testing for these. Changing oil will not cause an engine to not start, nor will improperly adjusted valves, unless they are so far out that you have no compression. When you adjust the...

    Broken frame

    A guy on another forum had a Husky mower but his frame buckled. He ended up completely disassembling the tractor and had two steel plates cut to fit the sides of the existing frame. Then he drilled all the holes and rebuilt the tractor into a ground engagement machine that was stronger than...

    What is a Tiger Cub Scag worth?

    I saw this Scag TC next to someone's driveway. It has 2656 hours on the clock, and, according to the sign, a newer engine, newer hydro pumps, newer wheel motors, and a new battery. I've not talked to the owner yet. Is it reasonable for the engine, pumps, and motors to die in 2500 hours of...
