Did a full fluid and filter change 10 hours ago when I replaced the clutch. Today I was moving some dirt and decided to work my gravel driveway. Our driveway is pretty steep, I went to the top and turned around and about halfway down I noticed the rear lift was notworking, shortly after my...

Teed off the fuel like to...

I am working on a buddies 1986 john deere 317 with a kohler kt17.. He said it has not ran in years. I cleaned the points and re-gaped them and still couldn't get any spark so i bypassed the seat switch, still nothing. So I ran a wire from the positive side of the coil to the battery and got it...

I have a 16 hp b&s cast iron mid to late 70's. I recently changed it over to a magnetron ignition, do I use the same sparkplug, or should I change to a different one?

my terramite with a Briggs and stratton 16 hp cast iron engine has been converted to run on a car coil. The engine has been running great, the only problem is that it backfires sometimes when shutting it off. Today i was clearing some land and it started running rough all of a sudden, cutting...

I have a older terramite with a Briggs and stratton 16 hp cast iron engine that has been converted to run on a car coil. The engine has been running great, the only problem is that it backfires sometimes when shutting it off. Today i was clearing some land and it started running rough all of a...

I have a older 75 terramite and am working on the hydraulics. My front end loader is strong but the backhoe is weak. I decided to check my pressure relief valve and found that the spring is broken(picture below) . I have searched the internet for days trying to find a replacement spring with no...

I have been working on my terramite for a couple of weeks now and I just tested out the Hydraulics the other day after flushing the system, changing the oil and filters. The Front end loader seems to have plenty of strength, enough to pick up the rear end of my subaru, but the backhoe will not...

Sump screen Part number Well i pulled the sump screen and it was pretty clogged on the bottom,... mine is a t4 and i am pretty sure they are the same as the T5. Terramite gives the part number part number EZ-Flow P/N 6942, but i am unable to find anything on the net about it. Is there anywhere...

I just changed my hydro oil and didn't think anything about the sump screen. Does anyone know exactly where this is? I have a T4. :confused:

This engine is about to kill me... I have worked on it, on and off for weeks now. Every time I fix something, I find something else wrong. I really don't want to give up on her because of the time and money spent. I think i have narrowed it down to weak magnets on the flywheel. The air gap is...

Here is a video of what the engine is doing. I have fooled with this engine for days now, and am not sure if it is the carb, the points, the timing etc. I explain the the first part of the video what all I have done to the engine so far. This came out of a Terramite 4, and I was hoping to put it...

Here is a video of a valve spring compressor I made...It only has to work two time lol

When I took my head off this evening i noticed there were big gouges taken out of the top of the head above the piston, The piston looked fine, so did the valves. The cylinder wall looked good too but it looks like it had been honed. It almost looks like part of a spark plug or a piston ring has...

Here is part one of my build, Thanks everyone for the advice and help

Well I got the engine running good enough to quickly install it to check all of the other component's. When I installed the engine for some reason it will not start now. The engine has a super hard time turning over. I am not real familiar with hydro static drives. The machine is not trying to...

Well as the title says I am thinking about trading my honda 5013 garden tractor for a 1976 terramite. Pictures are below. I am going to look at the Terramite tomorrow and see what kind of shape it is in. The owner has the engine pulled and has it at the shop right now. If the engine is shot I...
