    Let's Talk BLADES!

    https://www.fisherbarton.com/products/turf-care/marbain/ These came on my Ferris z700 and I didn't sharpen them until about 80 hrs. Mow pasture fields half grass and half weeds. Grass gets ahead of me often so I'm cutting tall thick stuff. They cost a lot but you don't have to sharpen them very...

    California law bans small off-road gas engines, including lawnmowers and chainsaws

    So I'm waiting to see a battery powered Z Turn. I see them running around with gas generators attached to keep them going. And where is Ca going to get the electricity to charge all this equipment? They don't have enough electricity now.

    So what is happening with Simplicity

    The investors who bought B@S are going to sell off the parts for as much as they can. The different areas and divisions are worth more than B&S was.

    Briggs Commercial V-twin surging

    The problem with regular (no alcohol) gas is the only source in my area doesn't pump very much so it's sitting a long time. It's at a BP station but it's not BP gas.

    Is there a Kawasaki Engine Shortage in the states ?

    All small engines are in short supple. Mower manufacturers can't get enough engines or belts to really start up production. Air filters are also in short supply. And then there is the employee shortage. The govt. is trying to get everybody on welfare so they are dependent. Someone tell me why...

    Briggs Commercial V-twin surging

    This Costco is one of the smaller ones. They only go thru 3-5 tankers a day. I asked the attendant. I guess it's possible but I doubt it. Same pumping went into my truck. I know that doesn't mean much. On Stabil I had the same mower crap out twice. First time it had corn starch in the bowl...

    Briggs Commercial V-twin surging

    Here's an update. My local repair guy sold me a small bottle of Motor Medic (I think). He said to run it thru the engine and let it sit overnight. He said if that didn't do it, nothing would. Said be careful because it would burn my hands. Changing the plugs and fuel filter didn't help the...

    How long do mower blades last ?

    My Ferris came with "Bain" blades which is some kind of specially hardened steel. I've had them sharpened once during 95 hrs and they are still cutting cleanly. I think they are like $25 a blade but to me they are worth it. I would think it would be worth it for commercial guys.

    Briggs Commercial V-twin surging

    Only the Hydrogear fluid and filters. Should I go ahead and change the fuel filter and plugs? Plugs look ok and I re set the gap.

    Thanks. I was worried the oil might be too heavy. Book calls for nothing more than a 30wt.

    Briggs Commercial V-twin surging

    I've got a 3 yr old Ferris iz700 with the Briggs Commercial 27 hp engine. The engine model # etched on the valve cover is 497877. I has 95 hrs of operation. About 91 hrs I changed the oil/filter and airfilter. I used HDEO syn 5-40. Since then it's started surging and smell like it's running...

    WHAT BRAND OF OIL FOR THE HYDRO-GEARS IN AN "IS 700Z"

    I think they reccomend it because it is readily available. What about using 20-50 motorcycle oil which is high in zinc and phos.??

    WHAT BRAND OF OIL FOR THE HYDRO-GEARS IN AN "IS 700Z"

    Castrol just came out with a dino 20-50 with high zinc for classic cars. I would think that would work well in Hydrogear trannys. Think it's SM rated. Only at Walmart.

    post proof of bad ethanol problems

    I don't have a picture(wish I did) but my walk behind mower wouldn't run after sitting for a couple of months. Took it to my local dealer and he pulled the carb off and put the carb in an ultrasonic cleaner. While it was running we looked at the bowl and it was full of white corn starch. He said...

    Anybody know if they fixed this problem at the factory by 2017-18? That's when I bought my I700Z with the Briggs Commercial engine.
