    Burning oil.

    When I can keep it short (no rain keeping me from mowing) it works great. But the yard is unusable with grass clippings from a side discharge when it wasn’t already short to begin with. I use my side discharge on the perimeter as much as possible.

    Transaxle issue

    Thanks guys. I just hope I get another 10 years out of this great machine at about 25 hours per year. I see it to mow my perimeter and where sticks are. I also use to to tow the dethatcher and spray spreader, using Celsius to kill weeds.

    Burning oil.

    The first oil change occurred when the filter cracked and basically leaked everything out after mowing very thick country gras which was about 10 inches high (mulching deck). The second change happened around 15 hours later when the engine burnt all the new oil within 10 hours. I downloaded a...

    Burning oil.

    It only occurs when I make the engine work so hard that it almost stops due to high grass.

    Burning oil.

    When the engine was bogging down a bunch through thick grass, smoke was coming from somewhere near the plug when I was done. The engine was so hot that I could not explore properly. Since that mow, I have not seen this smoking, nor have a mowed grass that high or thick.

    Transaxle issue

    I’m not the handiest of guys but I changed the transaxle fluid once before by loosening the 2 screws on the football shaped plate underneath, in the past, without incident. The shop serviced it the last 2 times, and this time when I did I it myself, and one of the screw holes turned out to have...

    Burning oil.

    My B27 is burning oil. I’m on oil “change” 4 at 56 hours. Used Kohler’s 300 hour synthetic the last 2 times and that might as well be water.

    Sad day

    Let’s keep idiot WuFlu vaccinator comments off this forum. The mRNA vaccine is poison and as we have seen, numerous times, does nothing to keep one from catching it. It also doesn’t reduce hospitalizations per the CDC today. What is the government response? Get another shot of DNA-altering...

    Replacement blades

    I agree ?. This isn’t my first rodeo. The new one came in and I will install/mow in a couple days.

    Walker S-Series Stalls on the downhill

    I’d like to see what it sounds like if you stand up to see if it’s similar to stalling downhill. Uphill your weight naturally shifts back, putting more weight on the seat safety shutoff.

    Walker MDD having issues on Hills -- Help

    I agree. Based on my experience, at least the greater Texas parts distributor has 2 amazing women working for them.

    Replacement blades

    I ordered 2 new blades for a mulching deck but 1 didn’t fit due to the hole for the lug bolt being slightly off… stuff happens. However I left the 1 new one on and re-installed one of the old dull ones. The crazy thing is when I mowed the first time with this setup, the new blade side left...

    John Deere X570 Cuts Grass Too Low

    I use my “foot gauge” for the rear tires in my tractor. For the front, I use the bike pump gauge. It’s great for footballs too. I wish I had the name and model number. But it’s what all the bikers recommend.

    Briggs & Stratton Blowing Smoke

    I specifically mentioned the ethanol because I saw a lead mechanic for a large ranch giving a talk on small engines. He stated the "old" ethanol "gums up" and causes thing to not run great. I don't necessarily view it as a boogeyman, as much as I do a potential cause of fuel system issues.

    Briggs & Stratton Blowing Smoke

    I was wondering the same thing. But I figured it has something to do with lower octane fuels being less stable than high octane fuels.

    Briggs & Stratton Blowing Smoke

    Where can we purchase non-ethanol gas? Second question: Is stabilizer necessary for non-ethanol gas stored in gas cans for 1-3 months?

    Is there money to be made by working?

    My thought is that depending on where you live and what the landscaping business is like there, you could build a niche: selling to high volume guys. They break a mower and need something quick, they buy your renovation as a backup. My experience is that most good businessmen also tune/fix...

    New Kholer Synthetic oil for Kohler engine in B27i

    My thought is that I would have to contact Kohler directly. But I didn’t read all the literature that came with the Walker yet. I was just trying to accumulate the oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, etc that I would need in the first 2-3 years of ownership. Would the oil specs be in one...

    New Kholer Synthetic oil for Kohler engine in B27i

    The b27i is a Walker zero turn with a 27 horse, fuel injected, Kohler engine, not a push mower. Does that change your analysis?

    New Kholer Synthetic oil for Kohler engine in B27i

    Reading through the 2021 manual, the B27i is now coming from the factory with Full Synthetic Kohler Pro 10W-50 motor oil (the engine is a Kohler 27 horse fuel injected model). The specs say you can go 300 hours between oil changes. The filter plus 2Q of oil are being sold at Tractor Supply for...

    42" Riding Mower Choice

    I picked up a B28i with a kholer fuel injected engine, mulching deck, 48inches 6 months ago. I upgraded from the base model with a 42 inch deck. It’s amazing for 2 acres.

    Looking to Buy Riding Mower

    As a mechanic, do you think a Walker or Deere could handle mulching thick, not high, Zoysia grass? I understand the Deere deck can do both mulching and side discharge, whereas Walker decks do one or the other.

    Need mulching mower for zoysia

    I currently have a Dixie Chopper 50" zero turn. It works fine but I cannot keep paying for the labor and extra trash fees to rake 2 acres after mowing (I acre zoysia, 1 acre haygrass). I'm looking at mulching mowers and have a quote for a Walker 52" mulcher for over $11K. Are there any better...
