I have a 1987 Deere which is running very good with the exception of every now and then I have to tap the starter with a hammer to get the unit to engage. I replaced the starter 2 years ago with a brand new unit because it was doing the same thing. The new unit worked like a charm for a year and...

This morning I went to the shop to start the Deere so I could plow the snow. It has fired up each time without a problem. When I started the motor this morning it fired right up. I pulled it out of the garage and throttled back to idle. The engine died and I can't start it. I pulled the plug and...

Last year I had to re-plan my back yard which is about a half acre. I live in the Pacific Northwest and have a lot of tall fir trees and an occasional cedar near the edge of the planted area. In the past, I've had good luck with the grass, but after removing the old growth and adding 12 yards of...

I have a 38" mower deck which is 26 years old and still operating great. I did a thorough clean up of the gunk and used Naval Jelly to remove the surface rust. Before painting the underside I am considering spraying the underside with Flex Seal (Flex Seal | The Official AsSeenOnTV.com Shop)...

I'd like to replace both mower blades on a 38" deck. One is easy to remove but the other is frozen and the bolt head is stripped. What is the best way to remove this bolt?

I have a 1987 mower that I needed to repair the deck lift mechanism. The project was easy to fix, but the one part that apparently was not hooked up properly and I can't figure out, is the thin 4" spring that goes on the height adjustment. When I removed the fender unit, I found the spring...

Hi folks. I'm familiar with this forum and find it to be very useful. I have an older model JD 165 and once in a while, run into issues that I can't find answers to in the user or technical manuals. My tractor is a nice heavy unit, and I'd hate to replace it, so hopefully, this site will provide...

I have an older tractor now on its second Kawasaki 460V engine. I don't know the number of hours on it, but it sure ran great all last year. When I try to start it, the motor cranks, some times pops, but won't start. Some times it does run for a few seconds, then quits. :confused:I checked for...
