hi, i have a Craftsman rear tine tiller thats about 15-20 years old, model 917.2933470 and i am in need of new tines but they are disc. any idea if i different one will fit or possible a place that might have NOS parts? tiller itself is in great shape and runs like a champ so it would be a...

my brother in law has the same Bolens. previous owner left it when they moved out. looked like they were trying to fix it but couldnt so i took it home and gave it a tune up and it fired up on the first pull. like you said, extremely light unit and being self propelled make mowing very easy. my...

anyone have a link to HF verticle shaft engines? cant seem to find it anywhere. also checked northern tool and they seem to carry mostly B&S and a couple Kholer.

sorry should have explained. they are trying to ban all small engines by 2014 i believe. typical CA BS. i would love to buy a mower like that but unfortunitally that is way out of budget even if financed. like i said, if i had to get another motor out of state i probably would be able to, just...

i did not know that about HF engines. good to know. i assumed their engines were cheap chineese crap like most of the other stuff they sell but good to see you guys have good experience with them. i realized what ever engine i choose for this might be the last one i'm able to easily buy after...

thank you for the replies. i def was not going to go with the same 1 cylinder. i know adapting a twin will be a little more work but thats fine with me. as far as the HF engines. HF quality has always been iffy to me but if its a cheaper item or something that i know i wont use more than a...

ok guys, i think ive made up my mind. i found people on here talking about smallenginewarehouse.com and after looking around i think i might be able to get a motor for about 1k. after selling off one of the machines, that would offset most of the motors cost. are there any other places that...

do those engines have a decompression valve? dont know if that would make a difference but maybe.

if your just painting and not restoring then id say used a combination of wirewheels/cups/sanding disks. you dont need to remove all of the paint, just degrease well and paint. also, if this machine get used often or sits outside, dont expect it to look pretty for long.

So i checked out my local JD dealer, they got nothing in stock so i'll have to do some research and call them for pricing. i went to a couple equipment dealers and they all had 1-3 Husqvarna TS248TD's in stock. about $3300. all with Kawi engines and fabricated decks. at these prices i'm now...

i checked the head and block each time and they were perfectly flat. i am not using any sealer. should I?

thank you for that. i was thinking about that but i know nothing about zero turns. man when did these machines start getting so expensive
