I upgraded the starter circuit and engine ground wiring on my Toro. I added 4 gauge automotive wire to what was there. Reasoning is, I run straight 30 and I think my 3 year old battery is getting weak so I am thinking the decreased resistance will achieve easier starts. I also had most of the...

Good morning gents, much to my wife's dismay, I found a Murray push mower on the side of the road and need some help getting it running. It has compression and spark so I am thinking there is a fuel delivery problem but I am having a hard time finding a manual/parts for this model. Problems...

My neighbor has a Greenworks Pro 60V LMC408. I noticed her grass was half mowed in the front yard the other day so I asked her about it and she said her mower quit working for more than 20 minutes. She had both batteries fully charged and one of the batteries was brand new so that wasn't the...

I have a Ryobi 3100 PSI pressure washer with a Honda GCV190. I have gotten some good use out of it over the years but it is starting to show its age. If you are familiar with these type of pressure washers, they have an "idle down" feature that is a pressure valve on the pump connected to a...

I inflate my front tires to about 22 psi and check them every few mows. I noticed the other day that the left front tire has been going flat and the other holds pressure. I have not seen any evidence of a puncture or hear hissing noise when I air it up. Could the seam be leaking? What should...

Who makes the best chains that stay sharp the longest?

I am looking to add one to my Timecutter. Which type do you all recommend and should I put it before or after the fuel filter?

Hello all! What is the opinion of the experts when it comes to extra maintenance? Things other than the standard oil change, plugs, fuel filter, air filter, and blade sharpening. I try to keep things lubricated and tight. Battery on a trickle charger. Wash the deck every mow, blow off...

How long do belts usually last on Timecutters? During the height of the season, I mow (mulch) about 0.25 - 0.5 acre of (thick) St. Aug grass 1 - 2 times a week. No heavy slopes on my land but I help some elderly neighbors occasionally and they have some slopes. I would like to have a spare...

Hello all, I have a KT725-3097 (with the shorter oil filter) and I was wondering what maintenance pack I should get. The prices vary pretty widely but how is the quality or does it even make a difference? It should have the fuel filter, oil filter, air filter, pre-filter, and 2 spark plugs...

Good morning - quick question for the pros. I am a residential user with a Toro Timecutter that has a Kohler KT725-3097. I have had it for 2 seasons. At the end of last season I changed the oil with some I had in the garage. It only had about 45 hrs on it so I didn't bother changing the oil...

Hello gents, I have a 34" Toro Timecutter 75734 with a Recycler mulching kit installed. I was wondering which mulching blades to get as spares? Could aftermarket blades work or should I stick with Toro blades? I like the mulching blades that came with the kit, I just want to have some...

Good morning gents, I have a 2015 Ryobi RY80940B (Honda GCV190)- SN 0A15074D060170 pressure washer that needs some attention. I used it about 2 months ago and it worked fine. When I went to use it the other day it started surging at idle but worked fine when I squeezed the wand handle so I...

Is there any aftermarket oil filters that will fit the Kohler KT-725-3097? Maybe something from the auto parts store?

I went to walmart to pick up some SAE 30 and it was slim pickings! No 4qt bottles of supertech. Almost $5 a qt. I Found a gal of Shell T1 for $18 but that's about it. The rest is all light weight synthetics. I asked the guy that works there about it and he said it's been like that for a...

Good evening. I have a 34" Toro Timecutter 75734 with a Kohler 7000 22HP (KT725-3097). The manual specs Champion XC12YC plugs but after researching some NGK documents, I found the NGK BKR5E is an equivalent. Anyone have experience running NGK's in the Kohler? Thanks!

I have a HRR2169VKA that I bought in 2015 and I have been going over it doing some overdue maintenance. I replaced the drive belt and I will be replacing the rear drive and all 4 wheels. Upon inspection, I realized there are no bearings on the front wheels?? Just a plastic wheel that rides on...

What do you all do to maintain your battery on your equipment? What is the best way to make them last? What brands do you use? Battery Tender?

About a month ago I posted about my Toro Powervac giving me grief and I just continued using it after all the repairs I did. I pretty much replaced everything on it and got it running pretty good. I figured out that the problem is the fuel tank not venting properly because whenever it bogs...

I have a new Toro Timecutter with about 15 hours on it. It has a Kohler KT725-3097 engine. This is my first rider. I have St. Augustine grass and it is cooling down and getting to be the end of the mowing season here in the S.E. I may just be trimming infrequently until it warms up again -...

Do any of you have one or know where I can get one? Thanks

Hello everyone, my trusty Toro PowerVac has started to go on the fritz. I am pretty handy with small engines and I like to DIY so I have been troubleshooting/swapping parts/cleaning this thing for about a month already, unwilling to give up the fight and have this dang small engine defeat me...

I have a 1/3 acre and I am looking for a quality rider for under $2k. Not serious about buying yet but just want to get an idea what the options are. I really like Snapper rear engine riders. I also have really thick grass that is hard to mow. Any recommendations on mowers, I would...

I have about a 1/3 acre piece of property. Was wondering what are the estimated costs to have the grass ripped up and replaced. I don't know which type of grass I would replace it with yet, but I don't have sprinklers and I live in Miami which is very hot and has a dry winter season. Any...

Bought one of these the other day. http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pdfImages/fa/fa35541d-2b4c-43cf-8517-cb9c978f23dd.pdf Was wondering about pumps... I know Ryobi uses the Homelite/Ryobi 308494058 pump on these pressure washers. 308653064 Ryobi RY80940B Pressure Washer Pump w/ Thermal Release...

For Sale large automotive/equipment trailer. $1500 OBO Was used for hauling dune buggy, ATVS and Jeep. This would be perfect for a business or someone who spends a lot of time in the woods/mud, not wanting to put miles on their rec vehicles. Used it to trailer a CJ5 and large Honda ATV to...

Hey everyone! I have a problem with this weed taking over my lawn. What is this weed and how do I get rid of it?

A while back I only had 10w-20 on hand so I put it in my mower and ran a total of about 15 hours fine (about 4-5 mows). A week ago I was mowing the lawn and hit something and the mower started vibrating pretty bad. Of course I thought the blade was out of alignment which it was and a .25"...

Hey everyone, I just joined the forum and hope to learn a lot here. I am working on my father in law's 1987 Snapper 30" rider. The mower hasn't been used much since it was bought be he wants to start using it for his house in Fl. He called on me to tune it up so I changed the oil, cleaned...
