    Zero Turn mower for moderate slopes?

    Does this CC 972 have dual rear wheels? 4 wheel steering? If 4 wheel steering, is this "on" all the time? I am using a Ferris IS2000z, 2007 model, with taller seatback and canopy, which is fine going up a moderate hill but does not like coming down. A spindle pulley just broke, even though all...

    Ferris is2000s spindle broke

    My husband was a grease fanatic. Now that I am in charge of maintenance, I attempt to keep an eye on that. The fittings are always wiped off before we grease and just put in grease until we see a bit come out. His motto was: grease is cheaper than a new part. Ferris manual suggests greasing...

    Ferris is2000s spindle broke

    The spindles are lubricated with red grease every 10 hours or so. The spindle does turn freely, so that may mean just the pulley has been compromised. I will call the shop tomorrow.

    Duromax generator to muffler

    I asked Duromax if my XP13000 had an internal muffler. following is the response: "The muffler is external because it's floating in the open air, but Internal since it is inside the overall frame." To Peter- I apologize blowing you off a few posts ago when you said the spark arrestor was...

    Duromax generator to muffler

    exhaust flex pipe- I will be sure to ask for it. Peter- "your generator has a muffler. It is visible in one of your photos, the silver item to which your spark arrestor is attached." in the first picture in my first post, you can see the spark arrestor cover and the end of the previously...

    Duromax generator to muffler

    "must 'exercise' any genny under load once in a while " the previous generator was turned on and run for 20 minutes every month since we've had it. I did attempt to "flash the field", had no success. B7510HSD- how do you know there is a muffler on this generator? that would be...

    Duromax generator to muffler

    I assume there is NOT a muffler that came with this generator. Could I just put flex pipe on the "stub" without a muffler? By looking at the current setup I do not believe hooking up a new muffler to a new flexpipe would be out of the question, especially with help from my electrician friend and...

    Duromax generator to muffler

    No, it is under the back porch, full stand up space. A deck was built to hold the generator and the area under the porch was covered, so the generator does not get rained on. Lots of area to work in, can send more pictures if needed. OD of exhaust with cover is one inch and 1/8, OD of flexible...

    Duromax generator to muffler

    I purchased a Duromax XP13000HX a few months ago when the generator my husband purchased for Y2K finally decided it would not generate electricity. Ran fine but no juice. This new one is in place(stationary), connected to a large propane tank, we attempted to start it, turns out for running on...

    Portable generators to stay away from?

    Update on generator ordering: went into Lowes to order the Duromax duel fuel 13000. They could not even order it for me, the system would not let them do it, something about no stock available. The very helpful rep looked in the system and saw a Pulsar generator with pretty much the same specs...

    Portable generators to stay away from?

    "run on half load for a half an hour once a month" what exactly is half load? Years ago my husband had told me the generator should be run for 20 minutes every month. He did not explain any more than that. (He also said the zero turn should, in the winter months, be driven out to get the mail...
