I have a briggs and stratton 15.5 ho engine on a mower. My mower seems to have a very hard time starting the engine. It doesnt just whir and whir like it isn't making spark or anything. Its like there is some sort of catch in the cylinder. Once it starts it runs fine, and it will start fine for...

I have a few problems with my yard... 1. It is covered in clover. I have read that you should just pull it, but I think they underestimate the amount of clover there actually is. How do I get rid of this stuff? 2. My yard is bumpy. In the past it has been uncomfortable to walk on it without...

So I have a new MTD 42 inch rider with a 15.5 briggs and stratton engine. I don't need a new engine on this thing as of yet, but I seem to have horrible luck making things I get pre-owned last. Lets say at some later date I want to do an engine swap. Am I opening a can of worms, or is it...

I just purchased an MTD 42" lawn tractor. Thus far I really like the cut of the mower, but when I make corners (mostly on hills) it's like the deck is lower on the outside of the turn. How do I fix this little issue?

I would like to put my john deere 68 on craigslist. It was probably made sometime between 75-80. It has key start, briggs 8hp engine, new plug. All that crape. Runs and mows. Rear engine. How much should I ask for? And will I get more from or if I list it as a "collector item"? It is a deere...

Had a jd68 given to me a couple weeks ago. Owner said if I could make it run that I could have it. Of course I took it as a challenge. Had it running in the next couple of hours. Spark plug, fuel line, the basics. The deck was badly bent and so was the blade. Took a couple of us to make the deck...

Mowed my mom's lawn two Saturdays ago. Came back this past Monday and it hadn't been mowed yet. My little brother is (lets say) hard to motivate. Needless to say I was happy to mow for him. Finished it and was surprised to see this! Guess which lawn was saved by getting too long??

If I plan on just mowing a few yards until I can get my feet under me, at what point do I need to get a business licence? Also, if I got a sticker or magnet for my truck do I need any type of CDL? Argh to licencing!

The only brand of trimmer I hear to buy is Stihl. They are expensive. Are there any good brands that have commercial trimmers that aren't in the $300 range?

I am looking at a few self propelled 21" mowers by Toro. Heavy Duty: Honda 160 or Kawasaki 180 Engine About 110 lbs Welded deck Rear wheel drive "Personal Pace" Around $600 if memory serves me correct Commercial: Honda 190 Engine About 85 lbs Welded deck (he said it was a little thicker than...

I hear that pricing usually stands at $1 per minute. I also know that most of the businesses who charge that ride a 60+ inch zero turn mower. Needless to say, I don't own said zero turn mower. Should I try to estimate the time it would take on a zero turn, or should i cut my time pricing down...

I am new to the mowing game so forgive my ignorance. I have a full time job with benefits and all that good jazz, but I would like to start a mowing business. I would like to just do this part time until it can support itself. Most of the yards around my neighborhood are small, and could...
