    Question on running a mulching kit year 'round

    I’ve run the mulching setup year round for the last 30 years and have never had a problem. I like the way it the yard looks after each cutting. Yes there iss a problem if you must cut when the grass is wet or has gotten too long, it clears up the next time I cut. You will have to clean the...

    Adding Transmission Fluid?

    WARNING. Any one who opens up any transaxle you must realize that many parts are sharper than any knives in your kitchen. Be very careful and have a few good bandaids on hand.

    Adding Transmission Fluid?

    Star, I agree with you to a point. Problem is the 00 grease will not mix with Bentinite so to switch over to grease you will have to split the transmission, remove all the Bentinite and then replace with grease. From experience I can tell you this is a dirty and messy job.

    Adding Transmission Fluid?

    Doing a little research I think your unit uses a model 918-0551A peerless transmission. If I am correct it uses Bentinite clay based lube. There should be an ID tag on the transmission, but it may be difficult to find. Here’s where I found that transmission number...

    Still trying to get the mower deck right

    Here is the reassembly order I suggest you follow. 1. Admit that I’m smarter than those on this forum who have tried to help me. This is because I don’t understand what they are saying and don’t need to answer their questions. Even smarter than those who produced the parts diagram. 2. Admit...

    I doubt that it is possible, as the OP must do that. Most times they don’t even post back and say thanks. They are the only ones who know the end results.

    Still trying to get the mower deck right

    Not you for sure. I don’t know why I keep following this thread, but it has gotten so bad I have to warn others not to use anything you suggest to do. The part #57 you call a bolt and washer is just a specific type of bolt with NO separate washer. It is called a Tower Lawn & Garden Equipment...

    Star, that’s what I call a hog ring. C-clip to me looks like a snap ring with no holes for a pliers. Some people call them E-clips.

    He said he took a C-clip off with a screwdriver. Maybe my age is getting to me, but I’ve never seen a C-clip used as a retainer on a Briggs starter. If he is to be believed I suspect someone has had this apart in the past. 10mm 1/4” deep socket works well for me.

    I don’t have the right tool, but I’ve done so many that a good side cutting pliers has become my go to tool. I’m just getting upset that so many come here thinking we have a crystal cutting and get mad when we require more info from them. Also, since battling sepsis for the last seven months...

    19.5hp oppy starter gear

    Not wasting my time, but yours, as we can’t help without good information. Briggs uses 3 different starters. If you can’t find engine numbers you’ll have a difficult time removing and replacing the hog ring which holds the Bendix in place. I’m speaking from experience here.

    Only thing I can suggest at this point is to check every repair shop and small engine boneyard within your area for a used one. I’m lucky as I have a huge boneyard about 75 miles from me that has bailed me out multiple times.

    briggs 126M02-0444-F1 governor spring

    I would take a needle nose pliers and bend the metal your finger is on in the first photo. Bend it approximately an 1/8” out to expand the spring, putting more tension on the governor. Start the engine with the control ar high speed and see if there is any change. Report back.

    Those gears are over the hill and need replacing. Toro part number 131-5399. In your other thread you stated they were in good, no where close, which is why I never suggested changing them. Also tells me you really didn’t spend much time looking at the manual I posted. Must have been too...

    Craftsman 900.370510 emits rhythmic noise

    Harmonic ringing on an electric mower is normally caused by either a blade which is unbalanced or a motor going bad. I would remove the blade and run the mower. Noise gone blade bent or unbalanced. Noise still there, motor going bad.

    In the video I see two things I don’t like. One, the large idler pulley is at an angle. The idler tensioner arm may be bent. Second, when disengaging the PTO, both idler pulleys wobble, indicating to me that either pulley bearings are bad or the studs are worn. Either of these can cause the...

    Riding mower runs for about 20 mins then stops

    Two things to check the next time it happens. As soon as you feel it starts to quit open the gas cap. If it continues to run, your gas cap is bad, vent plugged, and needs to be replaced. If this is not the problem, purchase an inline spark tester, and check for spark as soon as it quits. No...

    i am working on a Ferris 5900536 model number. unit will not start, i mean nothing. no power. all safety switch's replaced. Ignition switch replaced,

    Here is how to test relays. To test a lawn tractor relay, you'll need a multimeter and a 12V power source, like a fully charged battery. First, identify the relay's terminals: typically, terminals 85 and 86 are for the coil, and 30 and 87 are for the switch. Apply power to the coil terminals (85...

    Standard belt for 42" Deck Ariens Mower too long?

    I’ve seen it many times that a belt which is the wrong size, too long or short, wrong angle, cause problems which I would not expect. That’s the reason why I always use OEM belts unless I have no other choice. Yes, I’ve seen OEM belt that are the wrong size.

    Standard belt for 42" Deck Ariens Mower too long?

    Belt number should be Ariens 21547188 V-Belt. Your belt may not have the same angle, which is riding to low in the pulleys.. Also check to see if the pulleys are in good condition and the tensioner arm is moving freely.

    Big dog alpha. What size belt does it use?

    BBill, get your act together. There are two different numbers because you said you need both belts so MParr gave you numbers for each belt. My suggestion is if you don’t understand this, don’t try to change either belt. Might be in over your head.
