Husqvarna 125B Leaf Blower. When turning with cordless drill & plug out and grounded against fins, cannot get visible spark. What am I missing? 3 different coil packs (2 brand new). 3 different plugs. Continuity check on kill wires and switch (plus tried w/o kill switch wiring). Flywheel...

I'm preparing for my 500 hr service on my '13 R4041H. Perusing the manual it says valve clearance is 0.025 mm. I've never bothered to look at this. The diagram looks simple enough with a jamb nut over the pushrods. The valve cover is right there on top other than that fat exhaust thingy snakeing...

Here is something that doesn't happen every day. I awoke from my afternoon nap and glanced outside to see what the squirrels were doing to the bird feeder. Oops. That is a pretty big squirrel! The fellow seemed pretty content out there. I can peer into the bird feeder just like he does...

Scored an Oxy-Acetylene rig to compliment my wire welder. Motivation was to be able to heat & bend metal besides just welding. It came with a Prest-O-Lite W-250 torch with a #6 tip as well as a cutting attachment. What it did not come with was a rosebud for heating metal. Alas, the HF...

I built a water tower to tend the wife's garden. Now that it is up, I need to make a decision on how to fill it with water. The pump must handle 20' of head lift. I've got a couple of questions: #1 is what to use for a pump. I can haul 250 gallons out to the tower on my tractor. At the start...

I thought I'd pass along some info on my new "Farm Implement." It is a Recoil by Textron Offroad. The farm has its share of other implements: 2 ATVs, some motorcycles, and an LS tractor. Day in and day out, the most-used implement over the last 5 years has been a standard golf cart. I am...

Doing a little construction involving concrete block. They come on pallets. 5 rows on a pallet. Each row has 18 blocks. Each block weighs 37 pounds. Thus a pallet weighs 3,330 pounds + the weight of the pallet. No SCUT can lift that on the loader. However, if you pull off two rows onto a Carry...

What is the prevailing wisdom (oxymoron?) on sharpening the blades on a rotary cutter? Yes, there is a pretty good 2-year old thread on this. It was time to mow again and I noticed the tips of growing grass looked more bludgeoned than cut previously. Time to look at the blade. It looked...

What's the matter with this picture? I was working a side hill making what looks like a trail but actually more for water control. Using HST/Low at a crawl with angled BB. Just got to the top of the rise that completes the path when I heard a loud bang that sounded expensive. The BB hung...

I am having a heck of a time keeping my 3 point arms out of the tire. They are either getting wacked by the knobs on the tires are rubbing hard on the sidewalls. Level ground, not much of a problem but my property has so little of it! Now I'm trying to push the implement over as far as I can and...

Trying to cut a flat trail on a side hill. Sure glad this ain't a gear tractor. Bob

I have a concrete project on the to-do list so I was considering building a 3-pt ballast with any left over mix. Now I'm wondering just how much ballast I should be shooting for. Went back to Operator's Manual to find weight information: Weight Notes LS R4041H 3,615 LL4101 Loader...

The 50 Hour Service on my LS R4041H is basically a filter change. For the first change, I went back to my dealer to make sure I get the right stuff (and kick tires). I also bought a gallon of hydraulic oil to 'top off' the tractor just in case. Here is the process for performing this...

It will soon be time to maintenance the new tractor. There sure are a lot of zirch fittings! I own 3 grease guns. Have for a long time. All of them rated +/- sucks. But I'm sure I got them on sale! And the SO is pestering me for a Christmas List... Anyone out there have a strong opinion on a...

New tractor owner: LS R4041H & Woods BSM72 6' Box Blade. Used the box blade with the scarifiers (shanks, rippers) in the middle position to clean up a rutted, rocky forest trail. Good couple of hours work. When I finished and dropped off the box blade, I noticed I'm now missing 4 (out of 6)...

First of all, I'd like to thank all the experts and/or folks who contribute to this forum. A lot of my questions were answered after a little searching and I really appreciate all the contributions to help a newbie learn about tractors. And this is my first post. After considerable research and...
