Or they respond with a motion to remove the case to federal court in Arkansas.

the train phone number and crossing number is suppose to be posted at every crossing to call to alert the RR of a object stuck on the tracks. Normally posted on the side of the crossing control box but have observed them listed on the crossing guard post.

From 20 years to 7. My house and property that I live on was acquired by adverse prossession Property was owned by my brother and sisters which they inherited from my grandmother. And my Mother paid the taxes on the property from my grandmothers death starting in 1967 Due to family conflicts...

Not that I am aware of. In this case the compression release mechanism came apart which is the first I have seen on ATV/UTV. So I expect it to be rare.

Just got a 2020 Pro MX EPS LE in the shop thurday with a broken camshaft.

Ditch Witch SK600 with 44" bucket. Put down a deposit in February and when it was finally delivered they had increased the price in July and November. And it was either take it now or get put back on the waiting list with continuing price increases.

My nephew's mini skid steer went from $27,500 in February to $32,695 in December when it was finally delivered.

MORR, Trail Mater and Casey Ladelle for me.

And there is a reason why most towing companies are refusing to use that eye bolt. the threaded part inside the bumper pulls loose in some cases and sends the car rolling off of the flat bed wrecker and down the street. they won't hold up to any jerking or side loading without a high risk of...

Tordon will root translocate. Witnessed personally at a state tree farm the sprayed brush along a road and killed the 75 foot tall cottonwood trees 50 feet behind them

Been awhile since I did one, so don't remember the specifics.

That was the self adjust procedure straight from the service manual. Had to run full throttle without letting off the trigger if I remember correctly was 3 minutes. If you let off you had to start all over again.

The low end Dolmar/makita saws seem cheap in some ways. The downside of the larger commercial saws was I think the spring isolators seem too flexible in some cases. But I also hate the plastic chassis, the yo-yo starters,and the crappy narrow torque curve on stihl saws.

The 7900 would be fine for logging and heavy use. the 5100 was a decent saw if you turned them down. They didn't like running at 14,500 very well. Reminds me of the Husky 262xp that topped out at 15,500 and the dealers were bragging about it being the fastest cutting saw on the market, and...

But what was their commercial warranty.

Dolmar was the only saw manufacturer that offered a 2 year commercial warranty. How many of the other saw makers would offer a 2 year warranty to a logger. At one time Stihl warranty on all saws larger than the 034 had a 90 day warranty no matter how it was used,. Homeowner or logger.

Prior to 2015 when Makita took Dolmar in house there was 6 within a 20 mile radius of me. And Makita killed off all of them except 1. Home Depot Makita killed their own market by killing off their own dealers. Similar to a product that I used to use from Walmart that was never in stock...

I have seen bars as short as 20" cut moon shaped just from uneven pressure on the log spikes causing the bar to twist.

If you set the bar nose on a solid object and hold the rear handle how much does the bar flex. So bars are prone to droop that will cause enough flex to throw the chain when the saw is turned on its side, or are very suseptible to side load meaning people have a bad habit of pushing down...

The main reason for the fill cap tube is to eliminate contaminating the charcoal canister with raw gas. If you fill the tank to the brim like some people do it will suck raw fuel into the vapor recovery system and permanently brick the charcoal vapor canister, and then then tank won't vent...

Makita claimed that the gas power products was only 5% of their annual sales volume.

Deere calls it grommet M132706 It is to the left of the filler on the left tank in the youtube thumbnail and to the right and on the side of the tank on the right. https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/65427/referrer/navigation/pgId/184914492

Your suction tube in the tank is most likely a hard black plastic that is shrink molded to the elbow fitting. That rubber grommet will pull out with a little wiggling, and most likely the grommet will tear. It may tear anyway while you are trying to get the fuel line off of the tank fitting...

Don't look at the price of submersible fuel line. Most people don't know that the outer covering on fuel line is not gas proof, and will actually swell and come lose. So the special fuel line what is used to go from the fuel pump to the top of fuel tanks on vehicles is pricey.

I am seeing more and more were the engine manufacturers are only offering gaskets as a complete engine gasket set. Need the air cleaner gasket. complete kit. need the crankshaft seal requires complete engine rebuild gasket set.

The none fire rings gasket should be the correct one. Briggs sometimes will put more than one head gasket in a kit to fit more than one engine model. Appears that the kit includes the head gasket for the 14xxxx series engine also, which is most likely the fire ring head gasket.

That is the truth from somebody that has worked on them for a living for the past 25 years,

Because you are suppose to grease the bar at every use or don't grease it at all. The grease mixed with debris forms a makeshift seal around the bearing. Occasional greasing breaks that seal which allows contaminated grease from the makeshift seal to get into the bearing leading to premature...

The fuel bowl should be full when shutoff. So if empty after sitting then need to find the leak. If this mower is several years old meaning getting close to 10 may need the line replaced from the tank. If this has the top draw tank could even be developing a leak were the fuel pickup tube...

In this case the CD would be capacitive discharge. The older Briggs were inductve discharge but use a hall effect trigger for the spark discharge

Instantly,

Something to also check as a side note. when you close the choke make sure it is fully closing. Takes very little open movement to cause hard and no starts. Adjusted on single throttle/choke systems by loosening the throttle cable clamp on the engine and while the throttle control is in the...

True Some states offer Class A or B non CDL, but that could be an exception.

Center high mount stop light

What you see is 1/2 the products of 2 years ago, And a couple of the saws on the website are showing discontinued on the dealer B2B site which is the dealer parts and wholegoods order site...

Have heard about replacement new OEM dealer installed lights leaking when they left the dealer shop.

If it was like my 96, The leak was coming from under the metal strap at the top corner of the cab. They use a sealant that over time cracks and the water runs down inside the headliner/seatbelt area, and sometimes will appear in the area of the rear window.

The foam seal around the light compresses and then leaves a gap between the seal and the cab curve.

When my 2011 leaked it was the rear high mounted brake light. Actually had water inside the light also and shattered the bulb.

That somebody would have to purchase either the entire Makita Corp, or purchase Dolmar from Makita. I would be fine with somebody bringing back the Dolmar name. Good products and would make my customers happy if I was selling Dolmar again. I know Dolmar had some good tech in the pipeline like...

Some of those saws are showing discontinued on the Makita dealer B2B order site. And for a FYI Makita is showing the ignition module for that EA5000PRFL as discontinued even though the saw shows available.

They are selling the remaining inventory that was manufactured before that date. The dealers were told about a year before that date. The initial announcement was in German.

Makita stopped production of all gas powered products on March 31, 2021.

And the tractor owner didn't learn a thing. Part of the issue is driving around with the loader arms all the way up raising the center of gravity making it more likely to tip over on uneven ground. And then get a second tractor to pull it home with the loader arms up all the way just like...

I have taken down my fair share of stuff bigger than that over the years. Not fun. Bucked up the log from a large oak I had taken down last summer, and had to cut the chunks from both with my 36" bar.

Dead elm doesn't hinge well breaking the hinge flush, jumping off the stump or spinning on the stump then falling the opposite direction are common

Something I have also been wondering. Years ago anything over 600# tongue or 6K trailer required weight distributor hitch. And the main reason was to keep from unloading the front axle weight. So how are they preventing that unloading with the new pickup trucks that don't require weight...

24 is the top of what you can run normally on 60 cc but can run 32 in an emergency but you have to run full skip chain. I have personally seen a lot of 50cc and above saws benefit from full skip, even with 18-20 inch bars. But that is kind of a specialty chain and not for everybody.

The 6100 was a saw I refused to stock as a dealer. I would order one if somebody really wanted one. Otherwise I would push you toward the 6400/6401/6421. The reason was the 6100 uses the K095 mount which limits you to 20 inch bar or 24 if you searched for that bar which was somewhat...

Was looking through the IL CDL stuff and it looks like pickup/trailer combo would be a class A CDL with L and O restriction L being no air brakes and O being no semi tractor/trailer so if you take the road test in anything other than tractor/trailer you get an O restriction But it also...

Back before the CDL federal guidelines and drivers had licenses from more than one state you didn't have pickup/trailer combinations in CDL class weight. My first license was a class A before A became D B became C C became B D became A. But it could do with some updates like giving...

And that is the dilemma in a nutshell, The state want you to jump through hoops, but then can't deliver the circus.

Funny story involving a Dolmar PS-510 with the Dolmar branded 20" K095 bar a few years ago. Had a new saw on the shelf and had sold one to a customer and he was having issues with oil hole on the bar clogging. With some investigation found that the oil hole had been machined .140 too low and...

208SFHD009 208RNDD009 208ATMD009 208VXLHD009 I suspect you received the K095 mount bar which fits the 510 5105, 5000 series saws not the D009 mount used on the larger saws. Same bar as larger Husqvarna saws

Had a local incident were the ISP set up portable scales outside the grain elevator and started weighing farmers coming to sell grain. Grain cart farmer with grain cart scaled 120K and the single axle on road weight rating of 36K. That was only one of many farmers fined that day.

Gooseneck recommended tongue weight of 15-25% so not outside normal.

You seem to be correct. Didn't use to be the case.

I have seen gooseneck trailers advertised with something like a 16,900 weight rating with 7K axles

Nope municipalities are exempt from the requirements while being used for official use.

From the IL CDL website A non air brake test gets you a no air brake restriction. To remove the L restriction requires taking the air brake test and a new test drive with a vehicle with air brakes. But I know years ago you could do the test in a pickup and trailer. But I seem to...

Your combo is over 26K but the verifiable either by door sticker or other documents show the 25,300 so according to the IL CDL testing documents that would not meet the requirements for road testing for CDL but I guess could very by state.

From just reading my state CDL website I would say no due to verified GCWR under 26K.

You need to read my post again because I said minus air brake endorsement, and there is no way for a pickup to get class B because the tow vehicle is under 26K with or without air brakes. Class B is tow vehicles over 26K with trailer under 10K. Has nothing to do with air brakes or not...

Exactly. You could take your CDL A driving test in a 1 ton pickup and be qualified to drive 80K minus the air brake endorsement

No because we are under 26,001. Would need at least a F350/3500 with 5th wheel trailer to take the road test for the CDL, And that combo would be questionable due to that would be CDL A which included tractor trailers

A lot of people use B truck plates on 2500 which are 8000# plates, and consider the weight of the empty truck. Could be overweight with little to no cargo. My nephew's 08 F250 with him and me scales 7200# empty. Has D truck 12000# plates and required biannual safety inspections. He and I...

Just because you are not hauling commercially doesn't mean the vehicle isn't regulated as a commercial vehicle in your state. In IL a pickup truck with a GVWR of 8001 or more is classified as commercial by the state even not used for income. So a pickup towing a trailer with a combined...

I just replace mine every 100 hours. The less you mess with the filter the better, and what is the cost of a filter compared to the cost of the engine is something goes wrong with cleaning the filter. And unless you have a foam filter I would never consider washing out a paper filter with soap...

My local dealer here is IL also shows it available for order

Now imagine the flex with 500 pounds hanging over the tailgate like those guys with campers that are bending their trucks in the middle. Kind of explains the failure.

Here is a youtuber I watch that is putting his own Silverado 3500 on a lift with a 100 gallon diesel tank behind the cab and shows the frame flex. I have started the video at 18:49 to cut down on the time you need to watch. Only need to watch about 2 minutes after that.

This thread sounds like trying to justify pole vaulting over mouse poop. the chances of getting caught with an altered exhaust is very low. And unless the right cop was on the job most officers wouldn't even know how to right it up if it was discovered. In IL is is illegal to alter exhaust...

Start by disconnecting the electric connector on the electric pto clutch. If the mower stops turning then need to investigate the short that is sending power to the clutch. If the deck still runs with the connector unplugged then there is a seized bearing in the clutch and the clutch will...

A faulty primer bulb will allow backflow into the carb causing flooding. Also reversing the lines on the carb will cause the same thing. And if you probed the wrong holes with the welding tip cleaner you destroyed the internal check valves and the carb is now junk. Also exposing the carbs...

The service manual on the dealer site says to coat the threads with valve guide lube 93963 which is a lead based grease. Most of the time there is enough oil/lube on the threads when they are removed they can be reinstalled without extra lube. Head bolts are torqued in three step process.

IN .003-.005 EX .005-.007 head gasket torque 250 lb/in The valve clearances are set 1/4 past TDC to take the compression release out of the equation. If rotating past TDC and one valve is partially open then need to make another full rotation. The quarter inch is subjective...

My backup saw is a Solo 694 which is identical to the Dolmar PS-9010 running a 36 inch bar .404 round ground skip link. And starting it is like cranking a 15 hp outboard engine.

I am running 3/8 square ground skip link on a 50cc Dolmar PS-5105 without any problems with a 20 inch bar.

Another possible idea is the water pump was old new stock meaning it has been sitting on a shelf for 10 years and the seals dried out and hardened.

From my understanding it is sensed through electric pulse waves through the electric brakes. Basically it senses a complete circuit in the electric brakes when the trailer plug is connected.

That would be the weep hole. which means that the seals are leaking and most likely has contaminated with the bearings which is most likely now damaged Or the bearing failed leading to the seal leaking. Either way will most likely call for replacing the water pump again.

My dodge started doing that last year when the integrated brake controller failed.

Was working on Honda ATV a few years back with electric shift, and had the OEM service manual. Part of the diagnostics was to connect a special Honda tester to a certain component to determine if the readings were within a certain range. The funny thing was if the readings were outside of the...

And people won't believe it until you convince them to try it. If somebody is running a 50cc size saw with the 3/8 chain by putting a full skip you can really bring that saw to life.

Actually I cheated. As a Briggs dealer I have access to the dealer site which gives me the capability to look up engines by engine serial number. That is how I found your engine model number, which should be stamped into the metal valve cover. Being a dealer and a Master Service Technician...

Was watching a video a few months back about some car with a special engine that requires removing the engine and transmission to replace an O2 sensor that you don't test and can't even access with the engine in the car. flat rate time was something like 56 hours labor.

haven't had issues with swollen seats due to ethanol, but carb cleaner will cause them to either double in size or crumble like an old pencil eraser.

More teeth doesn't mean it will cut faster, and in some cases more teeth can actually cause it to cut slower. More teeth can result in more drag which slows the entire process done plus more teeth can result in less chip carrying capacity which causes the chain to spend more time cleaning out...

That is the 33M677-1594-G5 engine, and the head gasket blowing between the cylinder and push rod cavity is very common. As well as having the head and block warp in that area. So may want to get some emery paper and something flat to hone the surfaces.

The head gasket on the Briggs OHV singles will burn through between the cylinder wall and the push rod cavity. Which created the issue of pressurizing the crankcase pushing oil vapor through the intake system on the compression stroke and power strokes of the piston but will also pull oil...

The air filter mounting base is bad to warp on that style of engine which prevents it from properly sealing against the carb, and prevents the primer bulb from pushing air into the carb for priming. Most of the time double gasketing the air filter mounting base against the carb will fix the issue.

The EFI codes for lawnmower engines are OBD generic codes but the software and the interface connector isn't standard OBD nor are they standard between brands. MTD/Briggs/Honda/Kohler/Kawasaki all use different diag connections and software. there is a software program that comes with the...

Primarily auto steer, but is also tied into planting straight rows, but also variable rating on seed, and fertilizer rates, and individual row shut offs on the planter, to variable rating on the sprayer and individual tip shut offs on the boom to prevent overlap. And then can be uploaded to the...

But farmers are exempt from needing a CDL when hauling commodities, equipment and supplies to and from the farm. and DEF has a not regulated all 0 placard

Something to keep in mind. Sometimes the E rated tired are cheaper than the C rated tires of the same tire. And I was doing research when I switched my truck from C to E tires. And the minimum tire pressure recommended by the tire manufacturer is like 60% of rated tire pressure. so a E...

Most landscape trailer gates are rated for 1K. Will hold up to more weight but with repeated used will start to bow, and pull the mesh loose unless it has the HD reinforcing bars.

the software download for the program is on the dealer log-on site.

I picked up a couple 5K three bolt jacks at Rural King about 3 weeks ago on clearance for $29.99

Actually fairly common with all brands of saws. The in carb screen is finer than the fuel filter in the tank. Basically the internal screen is 100 micron and the fuel filter is 175 micron.

Make sure the exhaust screen and/or muffler outlet isn't carbon clogged or insect invaded.

I have one of those saws. Been several years since I have ran it but it did run. that saw was invented about 40 years too early. They make a very straight and smooth edge cut through some thick material, and were in demand by the log cabin builders. they were going for like $600 in early...

Not totally true. court cases would say otherwise. At least in civil court.

The thing is the other big winch companies don't publish duty cycles and just say to use your best judgement. What I am finding from the 4x4 sites is the duty cycle under full load on a Warn 12K winch is 30-60 seconds, as compared to the HF which is 45 seconds.

And would still not be covered under warranty. Bad fuel from a known source could be responsible for damages. like a gas station gets a new fuel tanker but is contaminated with water. the station would be responsible for damaged not the vehicle or equipment warranty.

When my mom passed away in December I got 3 copies which are $10 a piece for my county, Still have all 3 original copies. Everybody has either excepted copies of the original or they copies the original and then handed it back to me. Even the life insurance company accepted a mailed copy of...

I don't know when they started using it but the Ford Super duty series with the integrated factory brake controller was using that system at least in 2008

Actually this is the correct part by washer serial number. PartsTree - Home of OEM Parts for Outdoor Power Equipment but would also be a good idea to replace the 0h95650124 o ring. and the 0h95650122 filter due to possible damage to the sealing washer portion.

Remove the inlet filter/ hose washer and then remove the fitting with the correct size hex wrench. 10mm comes to mind. Also be aware there is a high probability that it will pull the threads out of the pump and will be unusuable due to corrosion in the pump and threads.

I went and looked at a picture of the model that your old engine gets replaced with. It looks like the new engine is set up with a manual throttle control on the left side and the electric starter solenoid mounted to the top of the starter. With a little mechanical know how both of those...

And Eric is a very wise man. And would put most mechanics to shame with his diagnostics skills.

For quick parts lookup I tend to jump on Partstree.com I also have access to the Briggs dealer sites also. But go to partstree and type in the model number as 305447-3079-g1 The 3079 and G1 are basically variations of the 305447 engine family. Could be trim changes, a change to the...

Ignition module part number is 845606. Two of those is basically the entire ignition system.

By setting the parking brake you should be able to get off of the seat and the engine should stay running with the plow, or by doing the same with the mower deck by also shutting off the deck and setting the parking brake.

My DK45 also has the site glass. I shoot for middle of the glass. It will appear to take less than the specified amount of oil, And then around 30-50 hours later you will look and the glass will be empty. then you add the remaining amount which brings the level back up, and that will about...

Matt got child protective services called on him over that one. Lizzy was a minor when she was riding/driving that metal sled of a car. I watch farmers do the same thing while driving down the road with a round hay bale on the bale spear. Letsdig18 is a heck of an operator.

Just to build on this Some ripping chains are filed at 0 degrees meaning straight across. round ground full chisel is normally 25 degree top plate angle with 10 degree down angle. In comparison square ground is done with a file at 45 degree holding angle with a 45 degree down angle toward...

I had wondered about flipped coil also.

Have you tried disconnecting the kill wire and checking for spark. Normally with kill unplugged and no spark with a known good plug would mean bad module. But have to be careful because some of the Honda modules are ground to run.

Not true for all shops. People believe they do it so the shop can sell more chain. The truth is there is very little profit in selling chainsaw chain, and if the shop does one of those buy one and get the second chain at half price they didn't make a dime on the sale. And sharpening chain is...

That trailer would be an atrocity towing it empty. Home made with a truck flat bed, the hitch off of a single wide trailer, and the 3K axles are way too far forward. Probably had negative tongue weight even empty.

I can agree to that Just too hard to prevent excessive metal removal.

Fair enough. I can set my electric sharpener to also due the rakers.

If you are removing too much metal with the grinder then the grinder isn't adjusted correctly. Absolute no reason that the grinder should be removing more metal than a file on the same chain.

That skip link square ground chain is fun to play with. And I am not too bad at hand filing it either. definitely not for everybody. people that can't hand file with a round file shouldn't even touch this stuff. And unless you are doing large volume of cutting not worth the $1900 for the...

I would start by making sure that the fuel solenoid on the bottom of the carb clicks either by sound or feel when the key is turned on. If that works out.. then need to pull a spark plug and crank the engine while having the spark plug connected to the spark plug wire and grounding the plug...

I see it on Troybilt, Cub Cadet, Scag, and Kubota low to mid grade consumer Z turns. Not seen on full commercial mowers as of yet.

Some will auto stop and start when both direction control levers are in the reverse position. Some will shut off the deck and you have to manually disengage and re-engage the deck. Some will kill the engine.

Very true the new EFI systems are getting more complex. Some even have multiple modules. And the engine control module talks to the mower control module via can bus. And I have always had an issue with the stopping and starting of the pto clutch on some mowers. Some will disengage when...

Something that could be used on other brands not as widespread is the operator interlock module used on Scag. Which is the brains off the Scag operation. Doesn't fail often but can be a bear to track down issues and not a cheap part.

Most Briggs engines don't have a shroud over the rotating screen. So not a missing part, just not supplied on that engine type. Unless you are going to be putting your hand on the engine while it is running or have your fur baby ride on the engine while mowing, not a big issue.

Don't say that too loud. In some areas I am sure you have seen that plastic accordion boot around the gas nozzle at the gas station. that is for vapor recovery so you don't pollute the air. We will be wanting vapor recovery on home gas cans next. And as a side note when discussing the...

Or a pop tart shaped like a gun.

@nisaacs The hitch in the link is the one that I use. I can't see the ball rating right now since it is connected to the trailer as of yet. Mine came with the ball attached to the hitch as a package and was supposed to be torqued at purchase. First time I connected it to truck I checked...

Same here. My solid ball hitch with 2-5/16 ball has a 17K rating.

Looks like the V-5 may be related to the metal used not the rating. And from further research it appears that a true class V uses a 2-1/2 ball receiver whereas the class IV is 2 inch. So it appears that our Rams have class IV hitches. And some of the larger pickup trucks have the class V...

The actual case involved a retired couple towing a trailer that happened to be like 400 pounds over the max rated towing capacity for the tow vehicle, and was T boned by a DUI driver in Indiana, and wife was killed in the accident, the case went all the way to the Indiana Supreme court, and was...

My 2011 Ram 1500 has a class V hitch from the factory And I know what you are talking about with the 2-1/2 and 3 inch receivers that they are now using on some trucks, but unless they have found a way to put the tongue weight in front of the rear axle on a bumper pull it will still unload the...

I have been wondering how they are getting around the new pickup trucks that allow 1200-1500 hitch weight without a WD where the older trucks required one above 6000. How are they getting around the front tire unloading with the new trucks compared to the old trucks, or are they. And people...

The thing is you can be properly loaded, and still required by the vehicle manufacturer to use a WD, Most 1/2 ton trucks require a WD at 500/5000 and some 3/4 ton require WD at 600/6000. So a 16 foot utility trailer rated at 7000 and fully loaded will require WD for almost all 1/2 ton and...

I have watches some of those guys mow side slopes and the tractor and mower will be moving sideways at a 45 degree angle which the mower trying to pull the tractor down the hill.

New possible delivery date with no true answer is maybe 4th quarter.

Can't run weight distribution on that but in most states are governed by a whole different set of rules. Limited to 20 mph in some states, and even falls under CDL A with double/triple trailer endorsement in some cases. And that fuel trailer can carry a totally different dimension of the...

The thing is even with your air overload system. if the vehicle manufacturer required weight distribution above a certain amount, or the hitch required weight distribution above a certain amount then not using it can get you into some hot water if you are involved in an accident. Some of the...

I would say the O ring is leaking between the pump/motor and the final drive. Looks like it is a 2 inch by .070 cross section O ring. You may be able to find something that will work. Not sure if that 2 inch is ID or OD. And the actual dimension may not be exactly 2 inch. Sometimes they...

The pump is connected to the wheel motor with hydraulic lines So is the pump leaking. The wheel motor, or one of the hydraulic lines. If my thinking is wrong then please provide the actual model number starting with 53 I think so I can see what it looks like.

Actually they did raise it 8 inches so it is now 12 foot 4

The vertical tine tiller by MTD turned out to be a disaster project and was short lived. I suspect any used units you find will have the same issues or worse.

Here is a site that I use sometimes, but they tend to mark up stuff a little over MSRP https://www.partstree.com/search/?type=part&term=16100-Z0L-862 https://www.partstree.com/search/?type=part&term=16100-Z8B-861

I am showing a 16100-Z0L-862 carb for the GCV160 N5R GJAEA-100001 to 5386302 for $17.87 MSRP and the 16100-Z8B-861 for a GCV160 N5R GJARA-1000001 to 9999999 for engines with serial number above 3151217 at $16.55 MSRP

Seat may not be replaceable and also need to check the price on complete carb. In some cases the complete carb is less than the cost of the needle valve. I am showing $18 for complete carb and $22 for the needle valve

Blown head gasket can blow between cylinder wall and push rod cavity. As well as the cylinder and water jacket around cylinder and head.

Don't even get me started on Briggs after their buy out by a financial group following their bankruptcy. They are deleting entire engine parts schematics. Basically acting like it never existed.

Think of it as a CDI box similar to what is on an ATV. It tells the engine when to fire at different rpm's

Just got an email from my parts supplier yesterday.. The throttle cable that I had on backorder since the first part of June for my customers 2006 husqvarna rider is NLA.

The thing is on certain brands of equipment the OE belts are so unique that generic off the shelf belts have a very short life span. Just because the cross reference says it is a 1/2 x 58 doesn't mean the OE is 1/2 x 58. the OE may be 15/32 x 58.39 with a 21 degree cut angle and the cross...

Assuming we are talking about the 455 in your avatar. the common leak locations are the O rings on right side for the forward and reverse direction control, And seal for the differential lock rod on left side will slide outward over time and cause a leak. And the third location is the...

The head gasket change due to removing the intake manifold could cause a small change in the position of the carb linkages. may need to reset the governor static adjustment, or make adjustments to the throttle control system. Also Kohler engines need to be shut off at a speed that is at least...

Everybody is arguing the same point from different directions. The BDU10L has a potential of 208 in-lb torque at the output shaft. What is confusing everybody is what Hydro-gear calls a transmission is better described at a hydraulic power unit HPU. That HPU is always connected to a...

it is called a transmission because it contains both the pump and the drive motor. What people are missing is that BDU10L isn't directly connected to the wheels. It is connected to a gear reduction transaxle that results in torque multiplication. So basically if you reduce the 85 in-lbf...

You would be surprised what people hit with their normal lawn mowers just mowing their yard.

Was helping the nephew with a stump removal job a few years ago. And part of my job was to hold the fiber optic cable up off the ground so he could grind the roots under it. The cable ran across the guys driveway, and into his grass before going back underground. The underground locate...

Neighbor was bush hogging a few years back along the road on his property side of the ditch, not the road side and snagged the new neighbors temporary phone line Wrapped 1/2 mile of phone cable into the blade and stump jumper.

A few months back I was walking through a section of yard and stubbed my foot on what I thought was a root from a tree that we had removed 10 years ago and had the stump ground out. With closer inspection found it was a piece of metal sticking out of the ground that was high enough to puncture...

I run a 2005 Kioti DK45S for my big tractor, My riding mower is a 93 craftsman, and my off road cart tow machine is a 63 wheel horse.

Most of the failed plastic cams were from around 1998-99 and were replaced with metal cams as they failed. Most mowers are not run that many hours. Working on a CC tank 60 right now that the Kaw engine has been giving me fits. Finally got it narrowed down to my stock of RN14YC spark plugs...

The mower that I had the most issues with was the Poulan Pro 48" with the CV22. multiple mowers. If you engaged the deck at full idle and then reved it up you were fine. Try to start the deck at full throttle and it would kill it every time. The sudden load would overwhelm the full it...

Kohler's biggest mistake is trying to compete in the consumer market. They use to be exclusively commercial engines, You complain about the accelerator pumps, but on some mowers, if you had the engine rpm much above idle and engage the deck it will kill the engine without the accelerator...

Tordon RTU can be purchased off the shelf in most locations. The concentrate is licensed applicator only. The stuff is fairly expensive as a concentrate also. The big thing to watch with Tordon is the root translocation. Don't want to use it in places that may have desirable plants...

The Courage twin starters are basically underpowered for that engine and starter bendix failure, starter shaft breaking off at the top cover, and damaging the windings to the point of lost torque are very common. Some people have replaced that starter with the solenoid shift starter from the...

The FR and the FH series have been built with either a flat hard gasket, or RTV in some cases. and some have switched from gasket to RTV and back to gasket. I think the Kohler Command engines are still running the fiber/plastic valve covers with the O ring. the 7000/7500 series which is the...

Start looking harder. All the major engine manufacturers use RTV sealant on the valve covers. Briggs, Kohler, Kawasaki, Honda. And a few use it in place of a sump gasket.

Ran over a half rotten opossum with my finish mower about an hour ago.

Melting the fuse or fuse holder is normally a sign of a poor corroded connector at the fuse. Getting ready to replace the fuse holder in a CC Tank because the terminals in the holder are corroded and heating up the fuse.

Convert the SAM means remove the Spark Advance Module which is a small box on the side of the engine on certain Kohler engines, and then replace the modules with MDI which has the spark advance built into the module. Other than that I have the same question about what wires are getting hot...

Have one in the shop right now that has a semi faulty battery/power switch. Dealer nor his distributor could come up with a replacement switch. Found that only one side of the two rows of contacts are faulty. Had to un-solder the wires and solder than onto the pins on the opposite sides.

The Century 21 reference was more of a tongue in cheek comment. I know that Sears sold complete mail order kit houses, and there are still a few around

I was still using the paint with the label that said contains lead as late as 1998. when I left the utility forestry career and started my own business. We had tried the lead free stuff and was having issue with our marks disappearing after just a few weeks.

haven't checked lately but forestry marking paint still contained lead at least up to 2000. Owned by Husqvarna, The name is still around, but what made them so relative was they were 2 stroke, with a diaphragm style carb, so the only thing limiting run position was the fuel tank. Little bit of...

Still could up until a very few years ago. It was called Century 21. Century 21 was owned by the Sears corporation

Been waiting on a Ditch Witch Mini stand on skid steer since putting a deposit in February. Was told toward the middle of January they were expecting a May/June delivery date, but because we waited to put down a deposit we were told June/July. But that date is not in concrete either.

Looks like my local Menards now has it for $6.99-11% Right now. 27 tubes in stock. I an not hurting for grease right now so I will wait on my normal backorder shipment because I pay less than that for a case.

The early 2005 models didn't have that issue. I think the cutoff build when they made the change to the problem pumps was June or July of 2005. The models that can be shut off by either turning the key, or pulling a knob on the lower right dash to shut off the engine are fine.

It is 740 ft/lb forward and 1180 ft/lb reverse

Since it was purchased from an auction I am wondering if it has the wrong pto clutch on it. Looks like the clutch is sitting too high.

I have been seeing the same thing with NGK spark plugs. Either not in stock or my supplier subs to Champion which I absolutely hate.

years ago tires were made of rubber which is basically not conductive, but modern tires have a high graphite/carbon content which is conductive.

I have had a case of red and tacky on backorder through one of my mower parts distributors since the first part of May.

Looks like the A wire should connect to the A terminal on the key switch. The yellow wire goes to the voltage regulator on the engine which would be energized with the key on. Also looks like the entire safety system is energized from the L terminal of the key switch with the key on that feeds...

had the same issues with Walmart years ago with mower returns.. Customer would purchase a new riding mower in March and then return it in October claiming that they didn't like it.

I think somebody purchased a new Craftsman saw, put their old Troybilt saw in the case and then returned it and somebody wasn't paying attention and it ended back on the shelf and you unfortunately purchased it. And also most stores will not let you return products that gas has been put into...

Most of the time yes. Had A Kubota a few years back in the shop that the clutch was drawing 12 amps on a 15 amp fuse. the fuse is designed to protect 15 amps but don't normally carry that amount of current for any length of time and in my case it melted the plastic on the fuse, and also...

Unplug the pto clutch and check the ohms of resistance on the clutch. Should be in the area of 2.5-3.5 ohms. There should be continuity between the two wires coming from the stator under the flywheel. There should be no continuity between either stator wire and the engine or the mower...

As an utility forester, had to respond to a fire under a 230 kva line years ago and discovered the cause of the fire after finding small globs of metal and a knee cap. Guy dropped a tree into the overhead transmission line.

The Oregon blade 30-30 rule applies. Ground at a 30 degree angle while leaving a .030 blunt edge.

A lot of the Honda engines have a rev limiter built into the ignition module Cutout is 4000 rpm.

What's the rpm's Sounds like a rev limiter.

No way to connect a cooler on that system. Heck the separate pump motor systems if working properly don't move that much oil by comparison back into the system for filtering. The hydrostat system is best described as a closed loop system. The oil that is in the pump/hoses/motor gets moved...
