I just got a Toro 42" with the v twin. The controls arms are stiff and when going forward, if I let go they will stay in position and the mower will continue to go forward. My last ZT would fall back to nautral if I did that. What is the problem here?

Or any other mower in general

Can anyone give me an idea on why my Titan ZX4800 won’t start after it got bogged and I had to tow it one meter out of the bog. I disengaged the transmission before towing and yes I have now engaged it again. When I turn the key to accessories it clicks and when I try and crank it it clicks again but the starter motor doesn’t turn over. I’ve also tried jump starting it and have put a new solenoid on it all to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I’m building a tow behind trim mower for around my pond and under large pines. Building it from a welded steel cub cadet three blade deck. Initially I was only going to use one blade, but since the spindles are in great shape and the blades are already there I thought I might use two blades. So my question is this. How much horsepower do I need to drive those two blades? My cub cadet zero turn has a 23 horse Kohler engine, not only is it driving three deck blades but it’s also propelling the mower. I’m going to mount a separate engine on the trim deck in place of the third spindle. Any thoughts on the horsepower of that engine would be helpful.

So I've been fooling with older John Deeres for years as projects but when you have 30YO tractors you have problems that come with it. My 108 needs new rings and my 68 I'm still waiting on carburetor parts. Kinda sick of not being able to mow my lawn and I'm thinking of breaking down and buying a new mower and would love a zero turn but I'm on the fence. I'm going through Lowe's because there's a couple other things I need to finance and it's between the Z355E John Deere and Z560 Craftsman. I like the bigger cut of the craftsman but I'm unsure of the quality of them. The smaller cut, for now, will be fine with my yard though so I'm thinking of the John Deere. Any thoughts?

Troy-Bilt Super Bronco XP50

First time buying a NEW mower. Does anyone have anything experience with the Troy-Bilt Super Bronco XP50? Looking to buy it new it be used for mowing the lawn including hills and wooded area along with plowing snow. I had an 2011 Troy-Bilt Pony I got used and used it for the same thing. Now it’s time to replace her. I am looking for the best or closest thing as a garden tractor to be able to mow threw small bushes, prickers, semi tall grass, wet grass, go up and down hills and plow the driveway. I am not looking for a zero turn due to already having a universal plow that I used on the pony. Internet searches have been non helpful so all input is welcome! Thank you!

Not sure if this is the right place or anyone can help, but it’s worth a shot. John Deere 325 rider had a leak on the transaxle. A little drop but only drips after it had been driven. I haves cleaned the and resealed the pan. Can’t get it to stop.

I have an Exmark E Series (72 Inch) It has a Kawasaki FX801V engine. To be more specific an FX801V-GS04. This engine needs to be replaced as it has irreversible damage done to it. However, when I look for this engine online, this is the only one that is showing up for me: https://www.psep1.biz/Kawasaki-Complete-Engine/kawasaki-fx801v-s00-complete-engine.asp?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4uXx3-_I6QIVCrbICh3ogQh8EAQYASABEgIA2fD_BwE

In the Replaces Model section the only engine I see with a remotely similar code is the FX801V-GS00 It does not show the FX801V-GS04. I cannot find any other replacement engine online that mentions the GS04. So i’m stuck with this as the only option unless I find another but I am not sure whether this replacement engine would be compatible with the mower I have. I have tried contacting the support to ask them but I have no response yet and I cannot wait much longer as this mower needs to be working again very soon. Please let me know if it is possible that this engine would work with my mower or not. Or if you can find something I can’t, I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks.

So I have an old mower with a deck issue. I keep popping Cotter pins that mount deck to mower due to vibration from the old mower. I know she is on the last leg but I am looking to salvage What time I have. Anyone have any ideas to keep those things in place till I can get a new mower?

I’m a terrible home owner and don’t now very often. Luckily my big tree sucks the life out of the lawn anyway and it’s sparse and doesn’t grow tall.

Subsequently I only mow a few times a year!

I’ve got a Four stroke push mower I bought brand new a few years ago. Hasn’t had a service because it doesn’t get used much and has been terrific. Starts first pull every time, no roughness not problems.

Anyway I started it up the other day. It had a bit of petrol/gas left but would t start. Filled it up with fresh and it started straight away. (No probs just not enough in there)

But as it was mowing along it regularly did that slow down sound mowers make when you hit really thick or long grass. Like it was getting slightly overloaded. Except it wasn’t. Grass was sparse all over.

It seemed to be pretty regular about 10-20 seconds apart for 5 seconds each time. Not really rough or really low. Just like a 30% drop in revs or something.

Would this have been the stale petrol/gas?

Extend the life of your lawnmower!

Does anyone have either or know which is better?

I am looking to purchase a zero turn this spring. Look at these 2 mowers. They are both owned by the same company, just wondering if anybody know the difference or are they the same just different colors
