    GT235 Problem

    18 hp Kaw Yes. The seat switch does kill the engine. Would the reverse switch cause the engine to shut off? I know it is a safety issue but I put a clothes pin under the power take off button so I can backup without stopping the blades.

    GT235 Problem

    The mower blades on my GT235 will occassionally stop mowing as if I shut the power take off down. If I push the power take button down and pull it back up it will mow ok.

    LT 180 sputters when backing up

    I Have a JD LT180 that I bought new. It has the 17hp Kaw engine. When I go in reverse the engine sputters as if it is running out of gas. I have by-passed the RIO that is out on the backside of the dash thinking it may be that. It still wants to miss & sputter when backing up. Is there another...

    Belts for belt sander

    I have some old belts for my belt sander that the glue that holds the splice together has given up. The belts come apart as soon as you try to use them. Any ideas of what kind of glue to use to hold them together?:confused: I have quite a few & I really hate to throw them away.

    LT180 ?

    Does anyone have a wiring diagram that shows the wires to the RIO switch and where they go to? My switch only had two wires going to it. Every diagram I found is just about as clear as mud to me as my electrical expertise is next to nothing.

    Space heater

    I am thinking of buying a space heater to heat add some heat after the wood stove cools down. (before I awake) It will only be a 1500 watt heater. Anyone have any ideas. The room where my wood stove is in is pretty large.

    Do chimney cleaning logs work?

    I have to agree with this. I've heated with wood for quite some time. I clean my chimney with a brush & since I started to use this I have found my chimney has less build up & is much easier to sweep.
