My first stringer trimmer for my home was a light duty Toro corded electric unit. I got 15 years of use before it died. I bought another Toro but it lasted a few years. Next I tried a Weed Eater product which also lasted a couple of years. I figured it was time to try a cheap Harbor Freight...

I looked a new Murray lawn tractor over at Home Depot today. It had a Briggs 12.5 engine. My 1997 K-mart MTD has a 12.5 horse Briggs also and was built in Canada. This Murray was built in China and looked like a MTD clone.

Well after 35 years the bolts (JD calls them cap screws) that attach the blades to the spindles have rounded heads. You would think I could get a couple more years use out of them. My local JD charged $2 for the two replacement cap screws. I was able to use an extractor to loosen the bolts...

I stopped at a LS dealer to check out their tractors. I mentioned that I was looking for something to run a 5 foot bush hog. The sales person told me that LS recommended a 40 HP tractor for that size mower. It had something to do with having a strong enough drive for the mower. This sounds like...

My brother owns a Belarus 250AS that needs some new power steering hoses. I told him I would see if I could get some new ones for him. I did a internet search and haven't found any results for the 250AS. Can the fittings on the old hoses be reused or do they need to replaced with new? Any source...

This is a picture of my neighbor baling my hay field behind the house. He gets the hay and I get the field mowed.

I replaced the diaphragm on my Briggs carburetor. When I reattached the carburetor to the engine I broke the cast thread loop to which the the carb is bolted to the engine block. Any ideas on how this might be repaired?

I have a 20 acre hay field that a neighbor takes the hay off for his dairy cows. With all the rain here in North Central Pennsylvania this summer he finally mowed this week. I don't think he is going to be able to use any of the hay as rain is forecast for the rest of the week. I will make an...

I'm in the market for a used lawn tractor for our new summer/retirement home. I have roughly 1.5 acres of lawn to mow. It is flat with no obstructions. My 13 year old son will be spending the summer there and the time required to mow is not a factor. Will a 1620 make do until I can afford...
