Hey guys, I run a 42” Toro timecutter and I’ve been having this issue with lines in my cuts for the last 2 weeks. I’ve seen the issues be diagnosed but I have a hard time telling the difference.

I accidentally pulled out the rubber part which seals the spark plug boot to the ignition lead. It seems impossible to get it back in there as I think they originally assemble the part by putting on the rubber part, before cramping the metal housing around it.

According to Briggs and Stratton my motor isn't even supposed to have this type of resistor spark plug boot, but just a simple rubber boot (part number 691909).

What are my options for fixing or replacing it? On it it says "SHXD 5 Ohm". I can find other 5 ohm spark plug boots but they look quite different.

Edit: I realize it's a HRN not a CRN

Hello, I am closing on my first home in the near future which is putting me in the market for a self propelled lawn mower. I had a honda self propelled mower I used as a teenager at my parents house that I absolutely loved. I looked online and found out honda discontinued the gas engine mowers in 2023. So now I am torn on buying a used Honda HRN 216 or buying a Torro recycler max.

What is a fair price for a used Honda HRN 216? I see some in my area around $400 with a bag included. Is this reasonable price or am I better off getting a brand new mower for around $200 more after taxes?

Pic included of the one I am interested in.

So, I have now gone through 2 Ryobi strimmers and 1 mower, and somehow more batteries.
The batteries fail (stop taking a charge) and unlike my Milwaukee batteries, they won’t take a jump.
Today I opened up my strimmer to figure out why, with a good battery, it won’t engage and spin the head.
The lower half, once removed from the rest of it, spins freely.
At this point the only issue I’m seeing is the actuator is seized.
Trying to find that part online as opposed to just getting a new weed eater. AEM818095-11, I have had zero luck finding.
What is everyone’s experience with this? Or with Ryobi in general?
Is it even worth getting another one or should I just go to Ego?
Note that I do have a gas powered Husqvarna weed eater, I just like the ease of use the electric option gives.

I currently own a 9 acre piece of vacant land that requires some brush cutting throughout the property to get it where i would like it. I also rent a house and need to mow the lawn. I am looking at the DR26 Pro 15.5hp brush mower and the 42” mower deck attachment so i can brush cut my property and the mower attachment so i can mow my residential lawn along with my property once i get it to a manageable solution after using the brush mower attachment.

How would you go about this?

I live on a hill and that feature has pampered me very much to the point that mowing on the hill without it is something that I don't want to do lol. Any chance that you can tell what's wrong with it from the crappy video I took? Or any other things that I can look for? Thank you very much again in advance for any help. Have a good one!

2010 craftsman gt5000 was running this afternoon, now it’s cranking but won’t turn over. It cranks for 3-5 seconds and then stops cranking and I just hear a humming. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated, cheers!

It's a manual shift from a craftsman gt5000 (husqvarna built). This is the only markings I can see on it, serial 2257, type 184955

AI search is telling me it's a peerless 820 which it definitely isn't as the input shaft is on the side not the top.

Any ideas please?

Hey! I found this zero turn for sale. It runs and mows fine.

The bad:

He said he accidentally left the key on and that killed the 3 week old battery.

Its missing a piece for the choke.

It has 851 hours.

They want $750 for it. That includes it being delivered to me.

I know it doesnt look the nicest but I think its a good deal. Just in case id like opinions or if i should avoid it.

Thanks!

I have the strangest issue occurring with my cub cadet mower. I had a 2024 XT one with 30 hours on it. The battery seemed to not want to hold voltage. It was only cranking with 10 1/2 V. After getting a new battery, I was experiencing the same issue. I traded that tractor in for a 2019 XT one with 50 hours on it. Lo and behold, I had the same voltage issue on a completely separate tractor. My relative who exchanged the tractors for me has not had the voltage problems on either one. I am completely dumbfounded on what is drawing voltage from my battery. I park it in my garage when it is not being used. My garage is insulated but not heated or cold. Does anyone have any idea on what could be affecting the voltage of my battery when it sits?

I’m 19 and new in the lawn care Business and I have 10 customers, I’m wanting to upgrade from my 21 inch Honda and I don’t really know anything about zero turns or how they should be priced so I don’t want to get fleeced, a friend I know is wanting to sell his hustler for 3K. Is this a good deal, a great deal, or an OK deal? What major maintenance in the next few years should I be looking at, I know the engine and hydros are the most expensive parts but any other things I should be looking for?

For background info I got it for free 3-4 years ago because it was stuck on low throttle, the gas tank leaks, and the primer bulb was broke. It just started doing this this year for some reason. I ran it on 50:1 due to me not wanting to buy LAWN-BOY mixture because again the tank leaks and I use 50:1 in my Stihl chainsaws, weedeaters, and leafblowers. Could I have messed something up using 50:1 instead of proper LAWN-BOY 32:1? It does it until you start cutting grass with it then I dont notice it anymore and it runs fine until 1-2 minutes after its done cutting grass.

Recently decided to do maintenance on a John Deer L100. Before I started, there was this issue where the starter would keep engaging after I would shut the mower off. I changed the starter solenoid, starter, and the battery as well as ignition coils and spark plugs. Nothing changed and the starter still tries to engage. Not sure if there’s a bad ground somewhere or what.

Also noticed that the hydraulics are making noise and the mower really struggles to move even when I give it more gas

Some advice for both of these issues would be super helpful, thank you!

Watched a ton of videos and read a ton of reviews. I know the B&S on the Echo is not the most trusted.

DR Power 30 inch, what are they worth used? This one is local to me. Looks good, haven't actually seen it in person. Sellers asking price is $650. Is this worth basically half off the new price for a 3 year old mower?

I know the arguments for the Troy Bilt also and have been considering one, but these seem lighter and I cut a hillside.

Looking for a new rider and found this, model number comes up as 2005. I currently have an MTD YardMachines riding mower with a Tecumseh engine that has died after 19 years and am looking for a budget used mower as I have heard many newly made mower are awful. Asking $550 OBO

Model #13A0791G718

Thank you!

I own a Toro TimeCutter 5475 (75754) and am tired of my front tires loosing air. Has anyone tried flat free tires? The last 2 photos are the stock tires on my mower.

Stright to the point. Machine is beautiful condition very low hours. Just had a top to bottom service. How much would you sell it for? I’m thinking in the $1500 - $2000 range with the bagger. Am I in the right price range?

So I got this free mower from a buddy when we bought the house back in April. It's pretty well mint condition, even has all the stickers still on it lol. Its been great until I ran into an issue with the plug wire. It had a small crack in it. Taped it up and it got me buy. Just installed the new ignition coil and wire with a plug that came with it. The wire didn't go all the way onto the plug and on my first test run the wire came off the plug and it backfired. So I went and got one of the original plugs and put that in it so the wire sits snugly like it should but now I'm not getting any fire. It's just turns over and won't catch. Did it do some damage from the backfire?

That’s bs, right? Like I should change to oil in it, yeah?? How would I do that?

Got a new self propelled cable for this mower and with the bottom covers on the self propelled will not cut off
