Home Depot lists a 6.5 bushel grass catcher for $329 made by MTD and is listed to fit 42 and 46 inch Craftsman mowers. Lowes lists one that looks identical in the photos for the same mowers but called out specifically for craftsman mowers but for $429. Since MTD makes Craftsman mowers , is...

This is probably a trivial request but can someone direct me to a source of bow tie pins that the loop is large enough for a finger that will fit a craftsman t240 mower. My last Craftsman mower had these but the t240 has pins that are difficult to pull out because the loop is so small. I’ve...

Is there a source of a real repair manual for a craftsman t240 mower?

The bolt holding the idler pulley on broke at the mounting bracket. I have 2 questions for the group. The mower was purchased this spring from Lowe’s. The bearing in the pulley doesn’t turn as freely as I would expect but it’s a long way from being frozen and the spacer in the bottom doesn’t...

What is the size of the blade hold down bolts?

I purchased a new T240 46” mower from Lowe’s that did not come with a manual. After a lot of hassle I was given print out or xerox copy which is less than complete. I’ve tried to find a pdf manual on line with no success. Can anyone direct me to a website where I can download a copy? Thanks

I just bought a Craftsman T240 mower that was not delivered with a deck washout hose adapter. Where can I purchase just the adapter and not a complete port installation kit? Also the mower did not come with an oil change tube. What is the ID of the tube?

I have a craftsman riding lawnmower built in 2009 and I am planning on purchasing a new mower very soon, At this time I am looking at either a craftsman or a Cub cadet . Can anyone tell me who made the mower I have? Also, has anyone had problems with the steering mechanism on the craftsman. With...

Has anyone had experience with using the Home Depot protection plan for repairs on riding lawn mowers? The wording says it takes effect after the standard warranty. In particular I want to know if the mower has a repair needed that is covered by the manufacturer shortly after purchase, will HD...

Has anyone had any experience with the Craftsman T210 mower? I’m wondering if I could expect anywhere near the good results I’ve had with my 10 year + craftsman mower. It has less hp and is powered by a Kholer engine not a B&S. I don’t think that is a big factor though I’ve never owned a mower...

How good is the CC leveling system? The craftsman mower I have could only be adjusted from one side and I found it difficult to get the deck level. Fortunately the adjustable link also fit the other side so I replaced the static link which resolved the problem. Can the same modification be made...

Why are so many people buying ZTs? Why are they worth the much higher cost? Are they really worth the premium price for a home owner with only 1-1/2 acres of flat lawn and many trees and flower beds?

I’m leaning towards buying a Cub Cadet riding mower. I understand the spindles can not be greased. It’s hard to understand why. How often have other owners found that the spindles have to be replaced?

I have a very old Craftsman riding lawnmower with a B&S engine. The last 2 times I’ve used it I’ve found a large puddle of oil under it though the dipstick does not show it being low. This Saturday I cleaned the engine and this Sunday could not find any leak indicating the leak must occur only...

Is a Honda 21” cut rear drive self propelled mower a good choice for an older person to cut a deep ditch typically with 8” or 10” grass, How about a Toro with a Honda engine.

I have a fairly deep, steep ditch between my lawn and the street. At my age it is becoming more difficult to cut it with my push mower and a using string trimmer takes a long time and doesn’t do a good job. I’ve been thinking about buying a self propelled mower and would like comments from...

I posted earlier that I really like manual gear transmissions and that I’m leery of the reliability of the hydrostatic transmissions and the maintenance problems others seem to have. Could anyone help to direct me to what to stay away from if I decide to buy a riding mower with a hydrostatic...

I am trying to choose my next riding mower before the old one craters. I have a craftsman mower with gear drive that is about 15 years old and has survived a flood. It still cuts great but is beginning to fall apart. I have absolutely no problem with shifting for myself. My question is whether...

I had to troubleshoot an electrical problem on my Model 927.289210, 42" Craftsman riding mower. It was more difficult since the schematic provided with the mower had no wire colors noted. After some time searching the internet, I discovered that the schematic on Sears Parts does show wire...

Does anyone know the proper torque spec for the shaft nut holding the impeller on for a Ryobi Model RY09550 gas blower?

I am sure that this is old news but I will throw it out anyway. From new I had a hard time leveling the deck on my 2009 model no. 917.28921 riding mower. I discovered that the blades were not shaped the same. After replacing them it was still difficult to get an even cut. Looking at the parts...

My 2009, 21hp craftsman riding mower with B&S engine only runs at half throttle immediately after start up even though control is set at full throttle. After cutting about 1/3 acre, the engine speed begins to increase until it finally runs at full throttle. At first I could move control from...
