I think we have been taken by Sssnake321 I looked up the Jacobsen Turf Cat 423 and it has a hydrostatic transmission. I don't think that they "pop out out of gear". Plus he has not come back to indicate what model he has. There are both gas and diesel models. Richard

Yes they can turn of the smart meter and your house will be without electricity.

I had a Ryobi 20V battery that would not take a charge. It was used until it stopped, then put away for a month or so. When i tried to charge it, nope not doing that. So on Youtube i saw the fix, take it apart, apply a low voltage to the provided terminals and the slowly increase the voltage...

Welcome to TBN 📣 Is your Turf Cat 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive ? What is the model number ? Richard

Wow, not good. Hope you get this fixed at no extra expense to you. Do you know if this new clutch was a factory part or a "will fit' part ? Richard

Are we drifting off topic ? Back to carbs.

Welcome to TBN. 📣 Did it run when parked ? Check the internet. I did and saw prices from $900 to less than $100 A running tractor is worth more than a pig in a poke type deal. If you don't have the skills or desire to get it running, the cost having someone do it for you would more that...

Does that number include the "renewable" surcharge ? Here is MN. Xcel Energy, AKA NSP, keeps heaping on the renewable surcharges, while at the same time, telling us that solar and wind power is less expensive. BULL

Well lets see, O-ring on the main fuel jet adjustment, the O-ring on the low speed fuel jet adjustment, the possible rubber like seat for the float needle, and the float bowl to carb housing seal. Richard

Hi Rick, Welcome to TBN 📣 Richard

As I had mentioned earlier in this thread, my new Ryobi 14" chain saw was overheating the battery. I sent a note to the Ryobi help desk. Here is the e-mail I sent to them: RYOBI Customer Service Ticket Information Email: XXXXX@msn.com Model Number: OP40404-06RGVNM Serial Number: XXXXXXXXX...

Maggiq Welcome to TBN 📣 Sorry to hear that you are having issues with you CC. You have a: 3-year/no hour limit warranty (includes powertrain) and 5-year chassis and front axle unlimited hours. On you tractor. My suggestion is not to do anything with it. You don't want to take a chance on...

You definitely do NOT want to use gas with Ethanol in it. It will destroy your carb O-rings and gaskets. Locate and buy the 91 octane fuel and ad some of the additives that are designed for older engines that originally used leaded fuel. Your pockit book will thank you. Richard

Well just throwing parts at it is one way to fix it, but a better way would be to determine what has failed. Could be just a loose wire or a connector that has come loose. Richard

Hum - hard to believe that a bad battery would cause a fuse to blow. I guess if the fuse was from the alternator to the battery and the battery drew more current than normal, it could happen, but I doubt it.

In Beenthere's photo of the hood parts, look at item #29. It appears that all you have to do is disconnect any head light wires there maybe and then with the hood tipped forward as far it will go, just lift the hood off of the item #29 on each side of the frame. Richard

Alreighty then, good going. Hope this new drive last for you. :)

That number is not the horsepower rating, torque perhaps. Is this the one you were looking at:

The "best" one is the one that works for you. Are you looking at battery powered or gas powered ? Richard

OK thanks for that. Welcome to TBN 📣 Richard

A few days ago, I got to try out the two battery use on my Ryobi saw. Both batteries are the 40V 4ah ones. i decided that in order to avoid the "over heated" battery, I packed some ice in a cooler and took it with me to my tree trunk cutting. I paced my cutting with the first batter, checking...

This morning, I did my 5 battery use on my Ryobi 14" saw. Overall, I am satisfied, but, well you knew there would be a but. Twice now I have had the saw quit after cutting for maybe 20 minutes. The display on the battery is indicating "battery overheated". After removing the battery from the...

Here is a link to the service manual: http://www.wfmfiles.com/download/manuals/SM2105%20(Oct-76).pdf You should be able to find the information you need in it. Richard

Can you give us the model number and maybe year built ? Richard

What's wrong with the engine that is in it ? Richard

OK an update. This morning I looked again at the Ryobi saws at Home Depot. Well today, they had a new offering. They had the 40V 14" saw kit that included a battery and a spare chain, that was less dollars than the Rhobi I was look at. So i decided to go for it. It's this one: RYOBI 40V HP...

Well that is the truth. I have looked at the EGO 14" saw. It maybe a fine saw, but there is a significant price difference between that and the Ryobi, with the EGO being more. Richard

Hi Steve, Not only do I not have batteries, I also don't have a charger. So at this time, I will pass on your offer. Richard

For just the low dollar value, there is this: Kobalt 40V saw Model KCS1040A03 40V 14" SAW W/4.0AH BATTERY AND CHARGER $120.00 PLUS $30.00 SHIPPING TOTAL COST $150 This is a internet price from E-bay. Local Lowes price is: $229.00 for the same saw/kit. So here is the question, how...

I am leaning towards the Ryobi: FROM HOME DEPOT $279.00 Model# RY405100 RYOBI 40V HP Brushless 14 in. Battery Chainsaw with 4.0 Ah Battery and Charger But I have questions. I have read some of the operators manuals and in the trouble shooting section, it states that if the saw stops while...

I looked at the Milwaukee 14" saw and to me, it looks overpriced at $499.00 with the 8.0AH Battery and charger. I see that Milwaukee goes to great length to hide the voltage of this battery. It is a M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion HIGH OUTPUT XC 8.0 Ah Battery. Lower voltage = larger wire size and that...

OK guys, I must confess, I have not ever owned a battery powered anything. It has always been gas powered. A few days ago, my 13 year old Wen 14" 38.5CC two cycle chain saw stopped working. I was cutting down a large tree an cutting it into man sized chunks, when it stopped suddenly while...

I'm not sure, but I think the reason for the older cars to be crushed is the EPA. They don't want people using the old pre-EPA smog engines in newer cars.

Yes and what are the chances that the manufacture will have part available for today's EV car 10 years from now ?

And we haven't even got to the wind turbine blades that can not be recycled and must be replaced after 20 years. Where do they go to die, one might ask, they go to a landfill next to your moms house.

Did you take any photos of the brake shoes when you had the drum off ? Some photos would go a long way in helping us determine the problem.

OK I understand that 1.124 is the output shaft diameter, and the the 4.3 is the shaft length. What is the 3.382 number ?

I don't know, but does the hole go all the way thru the cylinder wall ? How far from the top the cylinder is the hole, do the rings pass over this hole.? Richard

That price is about what I paid for my first house. Have times changed or what ?

I've had similar experiences with my local Chev dealer. I take the car in for a issue, and when I get home and look under the hood. I see several items that are loose, broken or just not connected up correctly.

Great job.

Make sure that the rods that allow you to move the tractor by pushing it are in the correct position.

Is the second photo of the deck and the wheel the one that you say is rubbing ? I see a pretty good wear mark on the rod going to the deck. Richard

Allen, welcome to TBN 📣

Tim, it is best to just keep one thread on this, more threads don't help.

Tim, welcome to TBN 📣 We will need a little more info on your problem. Richard

OK here is the drive and cut lawn report. With the throttle at wide open and no load, the RPM runs up to about 3,600 or so. With load and still at WOT, the RPM varies from about 2,500 to the 3,600 RPM. So not the best, but I can live with this. Richard

Really, you can't remove the bearing ? If man made it, man can fix it. Got a press or a large hammer ?

OK I got the Club Car rev limiter, doesn't work on my engine. So went back to looking at the governor. After experimenting a bit, I looks like maybe it still is operational. So I dragged out the instructions for adjusting the governor arm. Last fall I tried adjusting the arm with no success...

It looks like the well is dry, no good suggestions. So I think I will try to locate a air vane governor on the internet that is designed for a engine with about the same HP as the one I have. Then see how I can adapt.

When you had the plugs out, did you crank the engine to make sure that the cylinders are not full of water ? Richard

I have an old Tecumseh 10 hp (model # VM100157023A) engine on my old riding mower. It appears that the governor is broken. I am not in the mode to remove the engine and disassemble it to replace the governor. i am concerned about over revving the engine. I have ordered a rev limiter the is...

Doesn't work, zero matches found.

I know this may sound strange, but I think it is better to understand why the belt keeps breaking instead of just searching for a stronger and more expensive belt that will also break. This is why I'm asking these questions.

Does the choke seam to work with the carb on there that way ? If so, just get some shorter bolts.

Yep, if the fuel solenoid is off, no fuel. Fix that first.

OK well done.

Is there any shredding on the belt in other areas of the belt ? In the photo, there appears to be some skiffing of the belt at the bottom of the photo. I take it that this belt connects to all the spindles and to the PTO clutch. Is the correct ?

Can you show us a photo of your broken belt ?

Was the carb bolted on to the engine when you got the mower ? You say it's a Honda engine, can you provide the model number of the engine ? Is there a hand operated throttle lever on the handle of the mower ? Richard

So you have accumulated 19 Ryobi 40v 8ah batteries. Home Depot is listing these at $279 each. So if my math is correct, you have 19 X 279 = $5301.00 invested in batteries. That's a lot of money. I hope that works out for you.

Yep, that's that way it goes. When the smoke leaks out, it stops working. Everyone knows that electronics work by smoke, and when it's gone, then nothing works. Also you should note that any wire cut to length will be too short. Richard

Can you share a photo of what you have and explain what the problem is ?

Good choice

Good to know.

I see that your engine is water cooled. White smoke is a indicator of water getting into the combustion chamber. Oil would cause the smoke to be blue. You most likely have a bad head gasket. Richard
