Hey. I actually put a new spark plug in it a few weeks ago. I took the weed eater to M&M Enterprises and dropped it off. Two hours later, they rang me up and told me that it was ready. Total bill came to $51.89. They cleaned it up, used carb cleaner on it, put in a new air filter (cause I took...

Ok. Thanks for the info.

Ok. I checked and the screen is missing. It was never on there. This was my dad's trimmer btw. I'll just order a new screen and put it on. The trimmer is still running weak. What else can cause it to act like this? I took out the air filter and tried that but still the same result.

This is the side of the weed eater where I took off the muffler and that piece of cardboard:

This weed eater has been getting weaker and weaker over the past 2 weeks and now it is so weak, I can barely cut with it. After doing some research and reading the manual, it says that the Spark Arrestor may be clogged with carbon build-up. And that it is located behind the muffler. Well, I just...

The drive slows down and stops. The engine runs fast the whole time.

This is an old mower but it still runs. I was actually trying to figure out what causes it to slow down and then stop after running for about 15 minutes. When it stops, I have to shut it off and let it rest for about 20 minutes and then it'll go again. The model number is: RZ125H42B and serial...

I have an old Craftsman riding mower and the spark plug is on the front of the mower. I tried my 5/8 spark plug socket which should have fit it. The problem is the recess is too small, so the socket can't go all the way over it. I have heard about those thin-walled sockets and decided to go into...

I have no idea on the engine type. But I was told it's it should be labelled as a Rally mower (AYP/Husqvarna/Craftsman mower).

SERIAL #072401D001075 This is an old mower that still runs. I was having an issue where it would run for about 20-30 minutes then slow down until it stops. If I let it cool off for about 20 minutes, then it'll go again. I've been seaching for the spark plug but haven't had any luck finding it...

I have something like an air cannon and a bottle of parts cleaner that drys fast. Dunno if this combination will work but I will try to clean it tomorrow. -----Edit----- Tried to clean it out today (9/18/2022) and cut the yard afterwards. To be honest, I don't think the cleaning did much as that...

I checked the air filter (Part #496894) for the first time in years and found that it was gunked up. I've had a few of these old riding mowers over the years but this was the first time I checked the air filter. Someone at Ace Hardware mentioned that maybe the motor is overheating. And that's...

Doesn't it use oil as transmission fluid? I could probably try changing the oil.

Yes. I replaced the drive belt and the deck belt a few months ago. It didn't help though. I replaced them because they tore in half.

I still haven't found a solution to this problem. I know the mower is dirt old but it does still run. I guess it needs a transmission.

I got it on one jack stand just under the frame. No worries as the frame is holding it up. There's not enough room for two jack stands. I thought about putting a stand next to each tire but got scared because I might end up damaging the arms/axles that go to the wheel. Everything looks good and...

Ordered the deck belt and put it on today. Good stuff and great info. I have a question about the jack points for this mower. I need to take the front tires off and take them to Walker's Tire and let them take the tires off the rims. I've already bought new tires for the rims. I've had them for...

This is good info and it's very much appreciated. So, the belts I had in mind weren't the correct belts for this mower. I'm glad I asked.

Hello. What size deck belt does a 42 inch craftsman? riding mower use? Mower is very old. It was made on 4/23/2001. Model #RZ125H42B and serial # 072401D001075. Any links to the belt would be greatly appreciated! Aso, I am not 100% sure this is a craftsman riding mower.

Thanks. I'll probably go with these.

I have an old Murray riding mower and the tires on it are all old and cracked. Just today, one of the back tires finally gave out and it came off the rim. It has a crack in it that gave way. I want to purchase four new tires but I'm not sure which brands to purchase. I know the exact tire sizes...

I received this yesterday and started using it today. The last one I had, I used for about a year. I had to take it apart to swap out the adaptor for a green adapter for my STIHL Trimmer. I put everything back together and rewound the trimmer line that came with it. The issue I am having is...

As promised. Here are the serials from beneath the seat.

I'll get you the numbers when I have time.

I have an old Craftsman riding mower with an automatic transmission. What happens is, it'll run great at full speed for about 15-20 minutes, but then the speed would gradually begin to decrease. Up until it's running at walking speed. I can try to set it back into high gear but it just won't...

I took the cover off and took out the spark plug. I wiped it off and put it back in. This seems to have fixed the issue. Very strange indeed.

Ok. I'll check all of that out tomorrow. I had this in the shop and they pretty much replaced everything except for the fuel filter. It cranked just fine the first couple of days though. Strange this is happening now.

Well, that didn't last too long. I am catching hell cranking it up now. The cord will pull out but it won't crank up unless I pull on it like 10-20 times. I prime it up about 3-4 times and then try to crank it. Why is it so hard now? Is it the fuel? I am using TruFuel 40:1. Should I switch to 50:1?

Ok. We tried adjusting the valves but it didn't help at all. I finally had enough of it and took it to a repair shop. They replaced the carburetor, spark plug, air filter, and primer bulb and now this thing is running like it's new. All those parts it needed because I never replaced those. They...

Not yet.

Man... I really hope that's not the problem. About how much did you charge to fix that?

Ok. I'll try this next week. Hope it works.

Ok. Sorry for the late reply. I took out the spark plug and saw that it was just a little bit wet. When I pulled on the rope, it came out very easily. I did this several times and then put I the spark plug back in and tried pulling the rope again but found that it was still hard to pull. I saw...

I haven't tried taking out the spark plug yet but I will. I'm not sure if there's a a compression release button . I'll get back to you.

We've had this STIHL weed eater for years and this is the first time I wasn't able to crank it up. When I pull on the cord, it'll come out part way then stop. And it's kind of hard to pull. Sometimes it'll come all the way out but it still doesn't crank. Is the motor going bad or is it...

Craftsman 16.5 HP 42” Mower MODEL # - 917.271632 SERIAL # - 110801A013531 Hello. So, we've had this old craftsman riding mower for almost 2 years now and three times did we have an issue with it not wanting to go forward or backwards. The first time it happened, the guy who fixes them said...

So, I have this old 42" Craftsman riding mower and as I was cutting the yard today, some parts fell off from the bottom. I have no idea where these parts go or their function, so I was hoping someone here could tell me. Usually when I have any problems with this mower, I take it to the guy who...

This old Craftsman mower won't go forward or backwards. I had it sitting under a tarp for about 8 months and cranked it up today. It cranks up fine and the blade works, just won't move. It was moving just fine 8 months ago. When I checked the oil, I saw that it needed some so I put some in it...

Hmm. The fuel filter. Now that I think about it, I haven't replaced the fuel filter ever since I got it from a guy who fixes and sells mowers. I don't know jack about fixing this mower but I'm pretty good with cars. I was also considering replacing the spark plug as well. I usually order my...

I have this Craftsman riding mower (MODEL # - 917.271632) that'll start to overheat and then shut off after about 15 minutes of use. It is an old mower given to me by a guy who fixes them as a trade in for a non-working Zero Turn. I have a fairly large yard that can be cut in about 30 minutes...

Disregard everything else. I want to know if the Husqvarna T35 Trimmer Head is compatible with my STIHL Weed Eater FS90R? Can I swap out the threads?

Z-Force 44 (53AA5B6L710, 53AA5B6L712, 53AA5B6L709) - Cub Cadet Zero-Turn Mower, Kohler A few years ago someone gave my dad a Zero Turn because it wasn't working. About a week ago he had someone come out to pick it up so that they could fix it. When they brought it back, it was working. They...

I ordered a Speed-Feed Trimmer Head and received it yesterday along with Oregon 69-200 Super-Twist Magnum Gatorline. Today I decided that I was gonna cut some grass with the new head and gatorline but caught hell trying to open up the head. It took me and another guy just to pry the head open...

So, when I was putting on a new head, I accidentally put the metal / steel circle on upside down and because of that, I am not able to tighten the new head nor take it off because the back side of the metal circle doesn't have something to catch on... I tried for hours to take the head off but...

Hello. So, my father has been in the hospital for a few weeks now and I'm home visiting my mom and relatives for the weekend. My father was the one who took care of the lawn and he was the only one who used the Cub Cadet RZT 50. The lawn is in dire need of a good cutting and I don't have a clue...
