I wanted to change my staggered deck from mulching to side discharge at some point. The last time I used a side discharge mower was probably in 1987. My dad did not like LB's back in the day because of the smoke from the 2-stoke engine. I can remember a neighbor kid mowing an over grown yard...

Sharpened each blade with a bastard file and stone, filled tanks, checked compression. 10547 2002 (6.5 dura force)with short block installed 5 years ago 115 psi. 10590 1991 M-series 115 psi. I do not use any stabil or ethanol fuel, just straight 87 with tanks 1/2 full stored in a garage. Each...

I bought this mower 2 years ago for 40.00. I had to replace a coil and unplug the bag and oil tank sensor to get it to run. it did have an annoying issue where it would ping kind of like a fouled plug. I messed with idle jet, different spark plug, put on an oem cdi. Same issue, turned out to...

I was curious how many RPMs each mower is turning at full throttle. The dura force sounded like it was turning more than the m-series. The dura force spec is 2900 +- 300. The m-series is 3100 to 3300 full throttle. The m-series is much more quiet than the dura force you can hear the grass...

I have an aftermarket cdi on a 10590 M-Series, It runs ok for the most part. I do have an annoying ping that comes and goes. I originally thought that it was from a dirty idle and main jet. I have cleaned both numerous times, installed a in line filter and siliconed the air filter gasket as...

My next door neighbor is in Europe for 2 weeks. We have identical yards about 5000 sq ft. He has 8 flower beds, and has never edged his sidewalks and curb. I have 4 flower beds and I edge my sidewalks every cut with a trimmer. It takes me about 45 minutes to cut mine, 30 minutes if I really...

My 10590 runs well for the most of the time. I have been getting a ping sound (almost like a miss with the spark) out of it due to dirt in the idle jet. After inspecting the air filter/air box I noticed a lot of dirt behind the filter on the plastic. Looking at the filter gasket I can see...

Response from Toro May 14, 2016 We do not recommend cutting off more than 1/3 of the blade of grass and no more than 1" of grass at a time. We invite you to check out our How-To video called "Mowing Tips for a Beautiful Lawn". This video includes several quality of cut tips to assist you...

I have a dura force that I would like to convert the recoil and gas tank, Seems best option is to find the parts on ebay. Looking like if I would buy all new parts will be well over 200.00 for every thing. Might have to do this as I find the parts. Wondering if anyone can give me some tips...

I saw this the other day. Basically the same mower Gravely sold a few years ago that is now discontinued. Also Ryobi sells a similar mower overseas. Fuji makes the engine for Subaru or maybe Subaru owns Fuji. Fuji used to supply engines to Polaris for all 2-stoke snowmobile and watercraft...

I have had this trimmer for several years. Every time I need line I have to stop and manually release the line. Any recommendations on technique or what to look for in spool. It has never bumped line out just to be clear.

I have an issue with one wheel. Left wheel works just fine when pulley is engaged. The drive on the right side will spin only after giving it a spin, and when you load it the wheel stops. I took it apart and there was a rubber washer that is damaged. On the good side the washer is intact...

My lawn was left a little high over the winter. I decided to take off the brown ahead of the spring warm up. I cut it mid March on a warm day. I have seen or heard of setting mower at 1 inch to scalp I decided to set mower at 2 inches. Also the first time I bagged the entire lawn. I bought...

this is a M-Series drive belt, I found replacements from Ace that were 33 and 32 inch long, one too long and one too short. I am assuming that I need a 32.5, Thanks

I have a lawn that is 2 years old. Very thick (KBG,Rye,&Fescue). I am thinking to cut it at 2 inches before it starts to green. The frost went out today (3/8/2016). I normally cut it at 3 inches and right now the height is 3.5 to 4. I also plan to bag. My question is should I take more off...

I have a new sodded lawn that went in last part of November. Came though the winter in great shape and no real issues with not taking. I have noticed that I do have a few areas that seem to yellow or have a lighter green color than the rest of the yard. Yesterday I planted a small tree and in...

Ok I had to replace a short block on a duraforce due to a rusty connecting rod bearing from being stored outside, anyway on another site someone is claiming that some dura-force's use a bushing instead of needle bearings. The one I had apart did have a needle bearing no doubt about that...

The mower start fine, hits operating Rpm and idles. When it gets warm I will get a pop, I think its pre-ignition but am not certain. When I load the motor the pop goes away. Starting while warm the motor will pop and hesitate, I have learned to just start cutting and the issue goes away. I...

Seems the biggest difference is the straight shaft have a gear drive on the spool end where as the curved just have a flexible wire shaft. Longevity, the straight seems to be the obvious choice. What are the advantages of a curved shaft? I personally like the straight over the curved based...

I had both mowers and decided to do a little side by side comparison. Well my plan kind of got shot down by a issue with the M-series. When I removed the carb I noticed that the gasket on the intake on engine was missing. I had another from a walbro carb set up. The 10590 has an oval shape to...

I bought a M- series for 40.00 that does not have spark. I installed a new cdi spare that I have and still no spark. Its more than likely that I have a bad sensor, I believe there are 3 of them. I need to know if they are normally closed or normally open to do a continuity test. Also this M...

Straight Shaft String Trimmer (UT33650) – Homelite I have this trimmer and it works fine, I think I have used it for 8 years. My question is the bottom gear where shaft meets the spool. Seems to be getting hot, maybe that is normal. Also there is screw that is apparently a drain plug. Does...

Just saw this technique on a youtube video, basically when you offset the tire track you are not mowing the grass that has been laid down. You lose some cutting capacity but gain a more uniform looking cut. One note is if you have a LB with a staggered deck your offset will be more like 5...

I could not find an old thread on this modification. I will put up a youtube video of drilling the two jets. Was really easy job, I took my time going back and forth until I got bit through the opening. I just drilled one size bigger than the bits that fit in the opening, Mine does not idle...

I have had deWalt and Milwaukee Lithium battery packs, I have noticed that the batteries lose run time as the number of charging cycles increase. Lithium are much improved over the Nicad batteries. I am wondering if for example I run a 19 inch lawn mower say 15 to 20 times a season, will i have...

Just finished installing a yard of multch, I always have gone and bought the plastic edging only to have a stake come out causing that edge pull up. I have a neighbor that has a landscape company. I saw his yard and I noticed no edging or pavers to hold multch. I asked him why, he said to...

Ryobi Lawn Mower (Subaru Engine) 4-stroke 190cc SKU 00279734 | Bunnings Warehouse I found this while I was trying to find information on my next door neighbors Gravely Subaru powered mower. Other than a few cosmetics and color the two mower are identical. Seems Gravely does not make a...

My yard had the sod placed in early December in Omaha NE, the sod was dormant, shortly after being laid the we got a hard freeze. Anyway the grass came through very well this spring the only bad spots are where the sod was laid over large weeds. I did put down scotts crab grass prevent starter...

The wheels are ok, I just need something that has more grip, I have a severe slope to get up, if grass is somewhat wet the mower does a lot of slipping. I have to cut lawn at an angle probably 35 to 40 degree slope. Thanks

My back yard has a severe drop off, I am guessing 35 to 40 degree slope, it probably drops 10 ft in 15 to 20 ft of run approx. The only way to mow that portion is to go at an angle. My neighbor had an engine failure on Sunday with a 4 cycle mower. We just moved in the winter and I use my...

I had a first generation mulch mower 94 4.5 that used the fan attached below the blade, I have upgraded to a 6.5 duraforce that did not have a fan. Does it make that much of a difference? I still have the fan.

I need to adjust the float. Do I just use a needle nose pliers and just bend it up? I have been dealing with this issue for a couple weeks, finally figured out float is not letting gas in fast enough to keep up with mower needs. I did find an easy way to there is a problem with the float...

replaciing vane on carburetor Is it possible to remove a vane from a carb and install into another carb? Looks as if once the vane is in place it cannot be removed with out fubaring it.

Found this today just incase you have not seen it.

Been interesting spring so far. Burned up a 4.75 94 silver mower that I had since new. Replaced it with a 10525 that was sitting on a lot for some time. Ran good mowing the lawn once. I paid 35.00 for it so I figured if I have to put some money into I have room. Well the connecting rod...

I have a 94 sliver 21 inch mulcher. The Lawn-Boy seems to have done a great job over the years as I have never had very much build up of dead grass. Anyone who had the job of raking out dead grass back in the day knows what I mean. I can remember filling 10 to 15 bags of dead grass every...

New to forum. I am a snowmobiler and 2 stroke oil is big deal and much debate amounst us sledders. I have been using snowmobile in my lawn boy since I bought it new in 95. I have been using Blue Marble since 2002 in a 4.75 sliver. As stated in above post my son forgot to or check gas before...

I bought this mower new. Was out of town and my son mowed with out putting oil in the gas. Has a marred cyclinder, I am pretty sure it is not cost effective to rebuild with new parts or even possible to get cyclinder machined and use a slightly oversized piston. I just want to know if anyone...
