Hoping you guys can help me out. I have a consumer model Husquvarna string trimmer and will be using it pretty hard in a couple weeks to help my mom clear some of her property. Sorry, I can't remember the model number off the top of my head, but it's the model that accepts different attachments...

Was curious if anyone here with a lawn care business used any Tanaka equipement, particularly their string trimmers? I remember my dad having one of their brush cutters every since I was a little boy, and he had it for about 30yrs up until he passed away. It was stubborn to get started the first...

Hey guys, I have a Snapper hi vac self propelled mower and I have a vibration problem with the self propelled part of the mower. If I use the mower in one of the first 2 speeds, there is basically no vibration, but if I use any of the higher speeds, the rubber driven disc starts jumping up and...

Hey guys, haven't been on here in awhile. A guy at work had two toro snowblowers, an S620 and an S200. He said if I help him get the S620 running, I can have the S200. Anyways, the one hes giving me is pretty rough looking. Its missing the electric starter, but I figure I can still use it with...

I have my dads old Stihl Woodboss at home, and it wont start. I havn't used it since early last summer and did put stabil in it at the end of summer, but even before that it was a pain to get started, I don't think dad every put stabil in it. Anyways, I assume the carb will need cleaned, I know...

I got my snapper with a 7hp Briggs Intek up and running a couple months ago. Previous owner said it wouldn't start and sat for a couple years before I looked at it. Anyways, I adjusted the valves and rebuilt the carb and it ran great. But then I noticed that if I ran it till it got hot and shut...

Can some one give me the RPMs my engine should be running at? I've suspected for a while that its running to slow and finally found the inductive clamp for my multi meter, and would like to check it. I believe the model number is 92908, if I remember correctly. Its on a 78 v212p snapper self...

Finally got my snapper self propelled mower that I bought a couple months ago running again and used it for the first time this weekend. It runs great now that I rebuilt the carb and adjusted the valves, but I'm getting a lot of vibration and noise from the self propelled system and the noise is...

I apologize if this has been covered before, but how do I identify what type of grass my yard is made up of?

I was wondering if Briggs and Stratton newer ohv ex and e series engines are any good? I haven't heard much of anything said about them and was just kinda curious.

I've been looking at these things on different forums and craigslist, wishing I had a yard big enough to use one. Then is hit me yesterday, one of these might be the perfrect mower for my mom. So, here is the back story. My dad bought a John Deere L100 series lawn tractor about 8 to 10 yrs ago...

I bought a non running snapper hi vac almost 2 months ago and I'm finally going to get around to fixing it this week. It is pretty hard to pull over, and the previous owner did say it was getting harder and harder to start the last few years he used it, so I'm guessing the main problem with it...

Friend of my wife dropped off three mowers to fix and sell. I guess all three don't run. Im hoping to find some wheels for the toro push mower fairly cheap and get it running, the deck is in amazing shape, as are the wheel adjusters. the cubby is in pretty good shape to. The rear wheel...

Went to the snapper dealer outside the town I grew up in for some parts today. Its been there since before I was born, but I've never actually been there. Some of you guys would love the place. Its in an old, old, old feed mill, and while they don't make it there anymore, they do still sell it...

Guy at work said his grandparents had a old Honda mower that was just sitting around taking up space and would be more than happy to give it to me just to free up the space. He had no idea what model it was though, but he brought it in for me today. Its a HR194. I was hoping it would be a 214...

I'm not well versed on Honda's and was wondering what the difference is between those two?

I bought a used snapper hi vac the other week with a Briggs 7hp Intek and electric start. the original owner said that the battery stopped charging a few years ago. Its sat the last two years cause it was getting harder and harder to pull start until finally it wouldn't start at all. I believe...

Ok, I had a 1992 honda HRM215 given to me a little while ago that is set up for mulching. Unfortunately, it needs a carb and air cleaner assembly, so if I go with new parts, i'm looking at around $100 in parts, plus it has a crack in the plastic deck that would probably keep me from being able...

I'm trying to get a little side business going fixing up push mowers that no one wants anymore and then trying to sell them. A kid at my work gave me 2 mowers this week and I wanted to show them to you guys to see what you think I should do to them. The first is the one I think I might be able...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Found these on CL. Thought they were pretty cool little mowers, and figure for $50, they are worth it, but wonder if I'd have any luck reselling them? How old do you guys think they are? Pair of Toro 21" Aluminum...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Found this John Deere on CL and I'm really tempted to buy it, but what do you guys think its worth if it runs ok? Any idea's on who made it for John Deere, or did they make their own at one time? I wanted to say...

Stopped by a kids house tonight that I work with to pick up a couple push mowers he was giving me (will post on them tomorrow after I get some time to take pics) and found this His parents own a nursery and land scaping business and have a bunch of old stuff sitting around (including an old...

Heres a pic of the carb linkage on the 3.5hp Briggs on my 78 Snapper self propelled mower. I just wanted to see if you guys could tell me if everything is kosher with it? The spring linking the throttle cable linkage to the actual throttle seems a little odd to me. I was curious because it...

I guess this one is geared towards those of you that work in a lawn equipement shop or dealer. I've been thinking about this for a long time and always thought that there wasn't much money to be made in it if you didn't want to own your own shop. So, is it possible to make a descent living...

I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I just bought an old snapper push mower a couple weeks ago (think its a 78) and was told by the guy I bought it from he had changed the oil, cleaned and oiled the air filter, new plug, and replaced the drive belt. Well, the plug and belt do look new, but...
