We used to be a mill town and they had a couple of bearing places here and I was able to bring in my old bearings/races off of what ever and they were able to match them up most of the time. If you can get the bearings or races out and can see the #'s most of the bearings are a universal fit...

I have pretty much the same same generator, only whatever version from 10 or 15 years ago. I've only had it on the house once or twice and every other time it's doing chores with it. Like it's been mentioned the only way to figure it out is to take it apart or bite the bullet and take it to a...

Like it's been mentioned, I'm going with the deck is out of alignment. Either the adjustment got loose or something fell off. You can see the significant drop on the one side. With all the vibrations things can work there way out. No big deal. Just find a flat level area and just measure it on...

Yeah, StaBil or the like will only extend the time, it's not a cure all. That's mainly the reason I went with the smaller tanks, in theory I will rotate tanks before it gets there. Another thing to look at is how busy is the gas station, a busy one will be better as it will be refueled way more...

Yeah, if it's in the same place as on my MT235he, directly below the seat then it's a pain sometimes as my big feet will turn the knob and shut it down and it takes a few minutes to figure it out. You would think it being a round knob and centered below the seat that it would be out of the way...

I guess that's the only thing I've been lucky on then. I had no problems storing 5 gal cans of gas for a year or so, then I got nervous reading all the horror stories and started using the normal storage Stabil in them year round and haven't had an issue yet. Knock on wood. I do try to keep the...

They make thicker blades, will save you headaches...... BAHHH, that's nothing!!!! Have your wife mow and ask her to pick up any branch's or knock down the mole holes she see's before she mow's over them. I just could not figure out how to make her understand why. Thinking back I guess I...

My observational guess's? Looking at the broken bolts you can see 4 impact points, not two. The two major ones from the mower shaft but you can also see the impact/movement from the clutch collar. The bolt should be tight and shouldn't be a loose fit even with the 1/2 in thick collar, yes your...

It looks like you have a spring loaded belt tensioner so there is no adjustment to that other than the spring breaking and nothing would spin then. Gone thru every scenario In my head but can't think of why it would cut offset like that. Clean the bottom spindle and check if the mounting...

I would bet most cutters have different requirements for the bolts. Tightened or snug. Some use them as a safety measure if the clutch fails to give and the bolts are then the last gasp protection. I would bet your Bee is that way? So I would torque the bolts down a bit and let the clutch do...

If you have a garage floor you should be able to fit the loader and front tires on the concrete?

Had to redo the siding a few years ago on our 1800 sqft 2 story house with Hardy Plank. Living in the PNW you have to look ahead for weather and decided to just bite the bullet and get the Harbor Freight bulk sprayer. It was going to be a one time use so no sense getting anything too expensive...

Worked in that industry for a few years and 10" is just too shallow for that weight. I'd be even leery of taking a smaller car across it. I just don't trust manufacturers any more. I've seen 3 month old new concrete tanks break. As been mentioned before, different tanks, the age of the tank...

OMG, for a minute there I thought my wife borrowed your cutter! A few years ago in one of my shop reorganizations I found all the blades my wife bent with the riding mower. I bet you I had around 15+ metal pretzels, I just got tired of straightening them out and just threw them under my bench...

May be a simple fix, I had the same problem with the binding....... Be sure and check the linkage, #3 in @BCT's picture, I'm not sure if yours looks similar but mine is set up a little different and can fit two ways. My dealer had mine reversed so it would bind when getting to the bottom or...
