Hi all. I've got to replace my '04 Craftsman LT1000 (made by HOP) with a new 42" bagging mower. Been eyeing the S130, S220 and S240 (because of the V-twin and electric PTO), but since they aren't available anywhere, I'm looking at used. Found several good used V-twin models, but they all have...

Hi all. I've got an '04 Craftsman LT1000 42" with 18hp Intek, that's been mowing a 2-acre property for almost 17 years. Replaced plenty of parts on the chassis, but only the starter on the engine. Past couple of years, started blowing lots of smoke when cold, or going up an incline. Takes...

Thanks bertsmobile. I assume you're Aus or NZ. I understand swing back blades are approved there for push mowers. My 60" sidewinder has swing back blades, which is so beneficial with unforeseen objects, but yes, our US lawn mowers don't allow those. My issue is that I normally maintain about...

Thanks for the reply and the info. I’ve been mowing the same properties for 40 years, part Bermuda, part St. Augustine, with MTD, AYP/HOP, Toro, and Honda HRC Commercial push mowers and an AYP/HOP-made Craftsman 42” garden tractor. The 42” has served for 25 years. None of these mowers ever had...

Hello folks. First off, a search just led me to one thread about a mohawk cut, but the OP suggested this is a known issue with no fix. But I think I saw something on youtube that addressed this, so... I got my ZTXL 48 last spring, first one delivered to my area. Immediately I noticed I had...

Luke, I agree with the above recommendations. I also rescue mowers & outdoor power equipment from alleys, trash bins, etc., and combine the good parts to make working mowers for family, friends, and such. It's fun. But, there are parts compatibility concerns between makers. Some of the main...

Anyone? Is Robert@Honda still around?

I've got a few Honda mower engines. Two of them use the air guide gaskets, two use the metal air guides. Anyone know the reason Honda moved away from the metal air guides? Was it a heat issue, maybe causing vapor locking? Or was it just a cost issue? If there was an issue with the metal air...

Hello all. I have never owned a Toro of any kind, but I have put a Recycler blade hub and Atomic 22" blade on a 22" push-only mower before, and do like the way the Atomic blade performs. I'm looking at getting my daughter and son-in-law a Recycler, as we have an excellent dealer and service...

Hello all. New member, first post. I'm the relatively new owner of a new HRC216K3PDA. First, I have to say, I love this mower. This is only the third mower I've ever purchased. I have (and occasionally use) my 25-year-old AYP-made Lawn Keeper (Rally) 22" push-only, rear bagger-only (no...
