Lawn isn’t huge but I end up splitting it into 3 areas. About 20-30 minutes each. I’m still working in my early ‘60’s so time is a premium. And I’m getting lazy ; ) I’ve been shopping lower end 42” tractors. Decent slope in backyard. I’m also thinking leaf pickup so bagger is a must. I...

My small backpack leaf blower wasn't running well. I didn't have time to go through carb so I dropped it off at local shop. They told me it's not worth fixing - low compression showing scored cylinders. I checked compression myself to make sure. I get ~89. Added few drops of 2-cycle oil and...

I took my rough running Echo to local shop. After a few days they call to tell me it's not worth fixing. Compression is low, cylinder scored. I already bought a new larger Still and I'm very happy with it. But I decide to check the compression myself. I get just under 90. Not knowing what...

My smallish Echo backpack bit the dust. Local shop recommended Stihl. The 450 seems too heavy. 350 better. Any other suggestions? The wife like Husqvarna based on Amazon comments.

The mulching mower I picked up is pretty ratty looking. I've heard sandblasting/painting doesn't work out that well. Anybody ever try having it dipped like they do for car restorations? Not sure how much that would cost. Did Snapper use a special paint process?

Saw this on local CL. Picking up later today: Snapper Lawn Mower

Saw ad on CL for Snapperizer in good shape. Haven't heard back yet. I was thinking of getting it as a conversation piece. Did this really work with leave clean up?

Never saw one of these before. Snapper Y30080 Self propelled mower

I see a 4hp with Pac n Sac on CL. How "usable" is that option?

With help from Robert and others my 9-year old HRX is running and cutting like new. It purrs like a kitten and mows oh so nicely. Her's a pic of my lawn: And her'e a video of cold start idle:

Going to rebuild/clean my B&S 12h802-1531-21 carb. Is there something I can soak carb in overnight (or couple days) at home or does it take industrial strength cleaner to really get into all nooks a crannies?

Starting cleaning up and getting my Big Six up to snuff. I took off shroud and gas tank to clean them up. Have two things I can use your advice with: I see two carbs listed. One is auto choke. I assume with bulb primer this is not auto choke but want to make sure in case I order new carb...

Hopefully looking at this tomorrow. What do you think? John Deere

ordered new handle for my HRX. The studs had broken off on bottom end. I tried to swap the controls over without disassembling but the control piece fell apart on me. Now I have to figure out how it all goes back together and will need schematics to figure it out - or detailed pictures like I...

I have a Big Six from ~ '97. It's my secondary mower so sometimes it goes longer without using. Had carb replaced about two years ago. Now it will only start cold with starting fluid. After 1st start it's good to go. Is it easier to just get new carb? Or does price point to clean rebuild?

I was reading another thread about cleaning under shroud to make sure cooling fins can do their job. Sure enough the top grate on my fins were clogged thoroughly! Sorry I didn't take a before picture. Do yourself a favor and check/clean here.

On opening my new carb from repair clinic.com this piece and spring fell out. What are they and where do they go?

I saw recommendation for Oregon Gator blades fin Snapper forum. Anyone using them on two blade models like my HRX217HXA?

New to forum. I bought a HRX217HYA about 8 years ago. Brought it in last year for tune up. My dealer put a new carb on. Brought it home and could not start it - it had been running rough before but it would start. So I bring it back and dealer calls to tell me compression is low and it...
