What did you do to fix the steering?

I wasn't real thrilled the Kawasaki V-twin engine on my current Husq bought in 2017 w/ 350 hrs puked a valve and runs on one cylinder.

The GX54D may be discontinued, but there are still a few 'out there'. I need a rider with diff lock. I don't see any Cub current offerings online w/ diff lock. I own a JD X-758 diesel rider for heavy work, and want another rider so we can double up to get the mowing done faster. What's the...

Looking for experiences to decide on a land plane to maintain a large amount of gravel driveway. Think I have it narrowed to the RoadBoss or E/A brands. The E/A has ripper teeth that may be of some use to me- haven't used either (with or without rippers) before. I'm on a foothill in WA state...

Wanting to get a magnetic tip engine oil drain plug- does anyone know the size and pitch? 12x1.25mm?

In doing the first service on my 2020 JD X-758 with the Yanmar diesel, I wanted a magnetic tip oil drain plug. The thread size is 16x1.5mm. I bought a Votex brand P/N DP009. USA made, stainless steel, expensive and the strongest magnet I've experienced on a drain plug in my 30 years as an auto...

Hello, Have a new 2012 DK45SE-HST with a new 72" Woods brand finish mower deck. I have the front arms of the mower all the way to the (front arms) rear mount holes (which I'd rather not) to have front mower casters clear the Kioti's large rear wheels, when lifted, plus it seems all I can get...

Hello all... I am learning about insurance so feel free to lend ideas and input. It turns out because my new Kioti DK45SE-HST replacement value is over $10K it isn't covered up to the $27ish grand replacement value. I got a quote from Red Shield out of Oregon, I haven't read all the fine print...

Login I became aware of this website in the preface page of my newly bought kioti DK45 service manual. It states something to the effect that if any changes are made to specs, etc, corrections or the like it will be included in future publications of the manual or on this site linked above. I...

The latest customization to my new rig: Expanded metal added then powder coated. (Al Books Custom Welding- Burien WA)

What's the 'best' way to obtain a service manual for this rig? I like the idea of PDF/ online/ or computer viewed method but a paper manual would be fine also.

Does anyone else feel that even when the Woods PRD7200 is set at max height it still mows too close?

My wife and I enjoy Brussels sprouts but have noticed after cooking some have a spicy horse radish taste. Why is this? Is there a way to know picking them out at the store?
