I have an Ariens ST724 Snow blower that is leaking from the primer bulb. It has a Techumseh(?) engine, and I can't find the part anywhere. I also don't know how to get the old one off. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance. Brian

I neglected to put a trickle charger on my tractor for a couple of winters with very light usage during the year. When I put a charger on it this spring, it wouldn't crank fast enough to start. I have had this problem last fall, but put jumper cables on and it started right up. Today a friend...

I have a Country Clipper Jazee 1 with a 42" deck. I have only replaced the blades once before, changing them to mulching blades. The mulchers were a set of 3 15" blades. They had suffered a lot of abuse, and I recently ordered replacements from Pat's Small Engine. The new blades are Oregon...

I have a Country Clipper Jazee 1 ZTR with a Briggs 18hp engine. It cranks but doesn't start. If I keep the key turned long enough it backfires. Any idea what's wrong? Gas has stabilizer in it + was running fine last fall.

I have an Ariens walk behind blower that is stalling out. I usually shut the fuel line off and run it until it dry. I am not the only one using it, and the gas I'm using was bought by somebody else, I don't know if there is any stabilizer in it and it is at least 2 months old. I started it first...

I have an old echo weed wacker that has run faithfully for a long time. I ran it out of gas about a month ago, went back a week later, and it started right up, but when I hit the throttle it stalls out. What do I need to do to fix it? Thanks

I picked up an old Kubota B6000 last year, it has been heavily used, but motor runs great, and loader seems to function pretty well, so I'm holding on to it for now. It needs a new steering wheel, and I dont see how the old one comes off. There is a nut in center of wheel with washer and lock...

I need a replacement for what I'm guessing is an aftermarket oi; pressure gauge line from motor to gauge; and a new steering wheel. Kubota doesn't show the line in parts catalog, and I'm hoping one of you can help w/ the steering wheel. Thanks

I've seen a lot of posts about them here, and am considering getting one. Can you folks share your thoughts? Thanks, Brian

I have an ancient B6000 that sprung a leak in a FEL hose when I picked it up. I got one end of the hose off easily with a 9/16 open end wrench, but the other end attaches to a metal hydraulic line, and the tube bends when I try to loosen the fitting. Any tricks as to how to get this off without...

I recently purchased an old B6000. The previous owner put a couple of zipties on one of the lines on the FEL, and apparently that was enough to start a leak when I picked it up (He had just put them on). I don't know anything about these systems, so any advice/instructions would be appreciated...

My first tractor with a loader was a Wheel Horse D180. Loved having the loader, but afraid of others driving the antique with no brakes or power steering. Plus it has had a host of little issues, though the motor, and Hydraulics work great, I was fantasizing about something a little smaller, and...
