Hi all. I don't see much talk about chainsaws on this forum...more so, side-by-side evaluations. Just recently, I was able to obtain a MS440 that seen very little use and was kept in a county storage room for the last 15 years, perhaps? The CS680 I bought it new and had it for about 3 years now...

Just an FYI for all Stihl users: after a long winter storage my 2 y/o MS251 didn't start on the second pull this morning. It did however start on the 3rd. I'm very disappointed...:laughing::laughing::laughing::cool::thumbsup:

How do you make front wheels to track on "non-adjustable" steering? Mechanically speaking there is no play/wear in steering assembly. Wheel spindles are welded in into the front axle making it non-serviceable one piece. Can't take it apart. What gives? Are the spindles or axle bent?

Just a quick question: Was 54" Lesco Z2 an exact "repainted" copy of Cub Cadet Tank or was it cheapened somehow?

Having a corner lot and being a good citizen that follows and obeys village ordinance, I'm obligated to maintain an easement that in my case consist of a ditch 750 feet long. Most of the ditch is narrow and shallow, no big deal for a 30" rider. Takes three passes to cut the easy part. But the...

Craftsman Smart Rider 30" deck...the most painful, horrid, ungodly lawn mower experience in my life!!! I kept her running for 5 years by constantly rebuilding or adjusting something. Friction disk transmission was by far the worst design I've ran across! Always thought that tranny is what's...

This a 20x10x8 is absolutely, positively kicking my behind! In my younger years did plenty of car and truck tire installs by hand...never a lawnmower. I've got plenty of liquid soap, scotch bright the inside of the rim and...nothing. It won't go in and I don't want to damage the tire by using a...

Who's manufacturing tractors for Cabela's?

Did anyone ever run across an issue with their CV transmissions? I'd assume that its a single gear trans-axle/gearbox with CV sheave on the engine shaft? I'm not in possession of this machine as of yet so cannot speak serial #'s. All I know is that "it won't move" and was wondering about most...

Hi, I'm having some issues with putting 30" deck on JD130. Looks like some parts are missing like the front two brackets that hold and level cutting deck. Also, deck belt tension roller...where is it go exactly? Does the Vee-belts "V" part rides in it or the back of the belt? Maybe you could...

I've been always wondering about used oils in general. What do you guys do with it? Do you take it to the recycling center, store it or something else? This is awkward but this is what I do: Fresh oil, I always use Mobil1 5w20 Full Synthetic - my Tacoma or wife's Camry gets it. 5k miles in...

Hi, A quick flashback: a few days ago I bought a model 130. Little John has been seating in the middle of the farm field for two years farmer says to me. Frozen to the ground. Engine oil as black as a roof tar. But it's all there and very little corrosion on a sheet metal and deck. He couldn't...

Greetings and salutations. A little tirade first? This is the fourth time in the last three years that I've been rebuilding the friction disk / clutch assembly on my 30' Smart Rider. I ran out of clutch disks and plates so I've placed an order thru Craftsman Parts website only to find out that...
