My mower repair thread

[Vervepipes]

This Craftsman Weed Eater had a partially plugged fuel feed tube, 3 different types and sizes of wheels and needing to fine tune the governor springs. The wheels are from a different Craftsman and it now runs perfectly. This one should be a quick sale as it has barley any deck rust, I doubt it's more than a few years old.

The Poulan is finally done. There was a bunch of grass in the governor linkage, that must be what caused the overspeed. Unfortunately I also found that it has a slightly bent crank, so it's not going to sell for very much and I will definitely disclose that to the buyer. It barely vibrates the mower, but it is bent nonetheless. Here she sits ready for a new home. The deck is absolutely identical to the Weed Eater.

Here is the Toro, unknown model number, SP53 with 4 stroke Suzuki. This one is on the back burner. All but one cable is seized, cracked plastic discharge cover, no compression, no air box cover so the carb no doubt got filled with water from sitting outside for what I can only assume was a long time. In a sorry state.

This old Lawn Flite has a rust hole on the discharge chute and a leaking carb diaphragm. It does start and run though but at a very low speed and leaking gas. I'll get a carb kit and find it a good home.

This Lawnboy I picked up for free, I was going to view it at 50 bucks but found a crack in the deck, so he gave it to me for nothing. Has a tank of 2 year old gas that needs cleaning.

I'd have to check but shipping will be very expensive. I'd venture to guess at least $150+. Is there anything special about this Toro?

 

[exotion]

Not.particularly. I like the panel by the handle bars its a unique design. I could fix that engine in less than an hour. And the mulch plug is cool

It could be a little while until I can get a quote though. I'm out of town today and then I'm back to work on Monday after being off for a while.

The black Poulan sold today for $60. I have a line on a 4 year old Haussmann for $30 and a self propelled Mastercraft for the same. The Mastercraft needs a new engine brake and self propell cable, the Haussmann I'm still waiting on an email to see it it's one of their early gassers or an electric. If it's electric I'm not interested but the gasser was a $500 mower new. It has no picture and not much info other than it won't start.
