No idea what the jam nut is for.
But these things are pretty simple in operation. It just has a tilting plate that forces the pistons as they rotate at a varying angle. That angle determines how fast you go in forward or reverse. For the machine to actually slow down as you are going...
The cap on my Chinese Clone saw leaks gas pretty badly. I ordered a replacement cap from Amazon but it leaks too even worse. Will one of these "flippy" Husq caps fit ? I'll try it if even a chance it is. And looking at that restriction in the muffler you have to wonder what they were...
You could just buy a used machine that's older for lower $$ invested. That's what I did when I bought the 1994 Steiner 420 with a full loader, dirt/snow blade (which I never used and sold),48" mower deck (backup in case of lawn tractor at the time failures) and a leaf blower. I added a...
Yep, wife did that a couple of times. Once we lost the cap even. Out in the yard somewhere. 2nd time the cap was attached and didn't go anywhere but the junk got in. Changing the fuel filter in the fall I was like look at that junk! Siphoned out the tank and got even more. Good now...
I had one of those with the two cylinder ty290 engine. What do you mean no power ? Throttle running power or electrical ? Both are problematic on these. The fuel inlet is a screen in the bottom of the tank and is known to get "bugs" in it which will restrict engine power. Take the fuel...
I have a Steiner 420 I use around the house for the stuff you mention. Advantage is the balloon tires and the AWD system do not tear up the grass at all. I have the full loader for it which is light duty yes but works much better than I can lift that stuff ! lol I have a rotating brush for...
I picked up a snowblower last spring. I wasn't sure about all the work it might need as it had sat outside for years. I told the guy I'd take it away for him for $20. He laughed at that. I got it for free.
Maybe find a used one ?
What caused it to break ? I've not heard of anyone having issues with these transmissions for anything breaking let alone a case of one.
A number of people have bumped them into a tree and freed it up. Your tractor your call. Oh and make sure you push the clutch in if you do the tree bump idea.
