Well, after I swapped the 12hp I/C Briggs out of my Bolens ST120 and put in the 14.5hp OHV Briggs, I decided to split the case and take a look at the piston rings because i was brurning massive amount of oil. Well, I took it out and found that the top ring (which you can see in the last picture...

I just swapped the 14.5hp OHV engine out of my Murray (briggs and stratton) into my ST120. Although, now I need the self adjusting fuel valve on the bottom of the fuel bowl. Hopefully I can get one soon. Then this baby is ready to mow!! :D

Hey! Can any of you give me a step by step diagram (preferably with pics) to go by as I rebuild my 12hp I/C Briggs engine? It's off of an '88 Bolens ST120, and it needs new rings. I have the engine out and it's sitting on the shop floor as we speak. I just have to crack the case and unbolt the...

Hello all, I've just gotten around to getting the '89 12hp Briggs and Stratton I/C engine out of my '88 Bolens ST120 Suburban because it needs piston rings. The more I think about it, the more I want to swap IN a 14.5hp OHV Briggs and Stratton engine that I have in a Murray tractor. Sell the...

Well, I picked up a 1995 Murray Hydro/Auto lawn tractor with a 42" deck and a 14.5hp Briggs OHV engine for $75!!!! The guy I bought it from said that it had been quoted to him $200-300 for a carb rebuild on it. Well I knew that was bull, so I bought it and put $7 worth of parts into it. It...

Hey guys :smile: so....... I wanna hook up some custom lights for my tractor. I put in a new switch for the head lights, and it has reflectors in the back (stock) but I want to get some simple red lense bulb lights for the rear fenders. I can get them for about $2 a piece. So, I think spade...

I've done these before but that was on a push mower where I could chalk the blad to keep the shaft from turning. This one is on a tractor so I have no blade directly on the shaft. I don't have a flywheel holding tool or anything, but there has got to be an easier way to do it. (no I don't have...

Well, I had just done and oil change and new spark plug and also a new engine mount bolt. Mowed part of my grass with the new mower, and then parked it. I went out after supper and started it up. It started and I ran it around for a couple minutes. Then coming back up the driveway it just...

I picked up a Toro 11/42 from my friend for free. (he just bought a John Deere D110) It runs, GREAT, needs an oil change, carb clean, and new spark plug, you know, the usual, but there are some problems with the tensioner pulley on the deck. It is loose so it's throwing a belt. Other than that...

So, we bought a new Toro Z4200 zero turn mower because of this. We were tired of this old machine. I'd like to fix it if possible, and then sell it. I'm thinking that it needs piston rings, which I REALLY don't want to do. What happens is that as soon as you put the engine under any stress...

I put out a great flier, I thought anyway, and I haven't gotten hardly any response yet. Should I do follow ups?

Hey guys, I'm getting a Toro 11/42 (per my other thread) in a couple days, and I want to use it for my business, but I want to run a straight pipe off of the engine out the back under the whole frame, and then put an exhaust pipe on the very end to quiet it down a bit. How much pipe will I need...

Anyone else on here a Saab enthusiast?

Hey all, I will be getting a Toro 11/42 (maybe an early 90s model) from a friend who just bought a new John Deere. (I'm getting this for FREE too!! YES!!!) I'm picking up on Tuesday after I help pick up his new John Deere. He was tired of fixing it. I personally love his old Toro. It's not the...

Well, I'm new, but I thought that I'd share this with you all. I bought a Honda HRS216 last year for $50!!! Yeah I know, it was a great deal. It is not self propelled, but it does have the transmission, all it needs is a cable set, belt, and gears to bolt onto the axle and then mesh with the...

Hey guys, I'm new here. I have my own business (Sean's Small Engines & Lawn Care which I started 3 years ago when I was 13) and I've picked up a lot about small engines repair and lawn care. I love doing both, they are my hobbies, and I get paid for them. It's a win win situation!! BTW, anyone...
