Reason for abscence I thought I should come clean for the why I haven't been around as of late.. Son-in-law and one grand daughter came down to visit for a few days.. This place is just about big enough for the two of us and adding to more people, especially when one of them is 13 years old...

Blast Cabinet Lighting Ron, I bought an LED undercabinet light fixture for my Blast Cabinet and mounted it in the overhead, it works great! I was able to run the wire directly out the top of the cabinet using a cable connector. A combination switch/receptacle on the wall controls the...

1976 Troy-Bilt Drive system Note in this picture that the forward two pulley sheaves are the same size. In the newer Troy-Bilt, one sheave is smaller than the other and then the two on the engine are like that in reverse order so both belts are the same size. Any of you engineers have any...

Recently I repowered a Troy-Bilt tiller with a Predator engine from Harbor Freight. It ran great for about half an hour and then devoured it's front (towards the engine) belt!! I had ordered Kevlar belts for it from "Off Road Belts". The rear belt (towards the tiller end) seems fine. Evidently...

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild OK you guys, get a grip, I tow the boat up and down the East coast from Maine to Florida every year. This year we also decided to stay in South Carolina for an extra month, (April), because when we got home April First in 2015 there was 4-1/2-feet of snow in...

OK you guys, you talked me into it! I disassembled the transaxle (Original P/N 618-04381A) and pulled off the top half of the housing. Man oh man is it ever a mess! The crack in the right hand axel end of the top housing is pretty bad and will require a talented welder to repair it. (That...

It will start when gas is dribbled into the cylinder or carburetor mouth, but will only run until that tiny amount of fuel is consumed. I suspect I have a carburetor problem. Can anyone...
