    John Deere JS20 Bag

    I have the chute, but need a bag for my JS20. Listed locally as well, I'm hoping to get something by the end of May but they are crazy expensive new.

    Bannerman Kleen Green

    I'm starting a thread on this dethatcher to keep easier track of it while I have my mower thread separate. Today I picked up an '87 Bannerman dethatcher, minus an engine, and then picked up a new engine on sale at Princess auto. The engine is a Powerfist 208cc(7HP) Honda clone, on sale for...

    C950.56441

    I posted this in my mower repair thread and figured I'd post it in here, more specific to the brand. It is a C950.56441. From what I found using a Craftsman supplier code sheet, C950 indicates it was supplied to Sears (Simpsons-Sears) by Noma. The problem is, the Sears parts site doesn't...

    Old Snapper RER

    So I was out responding to an add for a free mower in town, put on the side of the curb, but it was gone when I got there. A few streets over though on the way home, there was an old rusty Snapper ride on! I asked the guy in the house if it was trash since it was garbage day and he said yes...

    Wine, beer and mead brewers

    Anybody here brew their own? I just bottled a grape, apple, strawberry blend and am starting strawberry/rhubarb today. I don't use wine kits, I either grow my own fruit or buy the fruit needed. Superstore is a great place to buy fruit destined to become wine, if a couple of berries start to...

    Self propel belt size

    I've run into a bit of a problem in trying to get my Ariens self propel back in working order. The belt part number of aftermarket belts lists the belt as a 3/8x32.5" (9.5mmx838mm), or 3L325 V belt. No stores carry this size that I can find, and I've spent hours looking and calling. I don't...

    HR194

    Hi, just picked up a beautiful HR194 for free, doesn't start but is in great shape. I pulled the plug and it has spark, drained the carb bowl and fuel tank, tried a little gas right into the intake and it'll start for a few seconds, so it looks like it needs a carb cleaning. Bad news is the...

    Brick top years

    Quick and maybe easy question, what was the last year of the bricktop? There's one for sale not too far from here "open to offers" but he doesn't know the year. An old Craftsman also happens to be in the deal, both are without engine brakes.

    10272C

    I just picked up a newer, well, I guess it's near 10 years old now, 10272C (Silver Series)for free. It was on the curb on garbage day so I pulled over quickly and tossed it into the van and brought it home. The motor is a Tecumseh, it's missing the engine shroud but from what I gather it's a...

    Sunbeam Lawn Champ

    I'm picking this oddball up tomorrow, the owner is giving it away for free. I normally acquire mowers with the intent of fixing and selling, but this one just has to stay in my personal collection. It's a twin blade with an aluminum deck, looks like it pre-dates the dead man switch. Looks...

    Opinion on buying a Lawn Boy

    Hi, I have an opportunity to buy an old 1973 Lawn Boy. The owner says it was running 2 years ago but couldn't get it running last year. It looks to be in great shape physically and comes with the manual. The owner wants $50 for it. He doesn't know what it wrong with it, hasn't looked too...

    My mower repair thread

    I've been lurking for a little while and besides an intro I haven't posted. I have been tinkering with mowers recently as a hobby as they are so easy to pick up for free and most people would rather toss and buy new than repair an older mower. I currently have 3 ready for sale and another 6...

    New here in Halifax

    Hello, new to the site. I have a small collection of mowers that I'm going to be turning into a smaller number of mowers... I have a few with good engines, a few with decks that are turning into orange dust. I intend on making them usable to sell as sort of a hobby. Right now, I mostly have...
