Last fall, I went to use my 948 after it had been unused for a couple of weeks, and found that I couldn't get it to turn over. I took out the spark plug, and it turned over without any trouble, which told me that the exhaust valve was stuck closed. After covid in the fall of 2020, I haven't had...

With the handlebars oriented on the pto side of the transmission, my 948 won't go into reverse. The lever easily moves into the forward position, and engages. It is difficult to throw the lever back into reverse. (The converse is also the same. When using a front facing implement, it won't go...

The parts manual for the BCS 853 only shows a 14-16ah battery. Does anyone have a brand and part# that they use? The 948 doesn't show anything regarding electric start, but the battery/tool tray and 0lastic cover are the same part numbers. Thank you.

Has anyone used a Fumoto or EZ oil drain valve on a BCS tractor? I'd like to add an EZ or Fumoto drain valve on my BCS tractor (948) to make changing the oil a bit cleaner as well as easier. The guard bar sits close to the drain plug. Will one of these fit in the available space? Thanks.

My wife was using my 430 and slammed on the brakes, which resulted in the brakes jamming. The throddle will not move forward at all, but will move slightly in reverse. The parking brake lock is in the unlocked position, but will not move, either. Where might the jam be located? I'd just as soon...

Can this deck be salvaged? If so, how would you go about doing it? It looks like a major welding problem. I was looking at a pdf regarding a repair with using POR-15 and fiberglass (http://www.por15.com/CustPhotos/FloorFixStory.pdf) and was wondering if that might be a solution. Thanks.

There is a tube off of an elbow on the fuel tank neck of the 430 tractor. Does the other end connect somewhere, or does it just dive under the deck to vent the tank? I have the fender deck off of my tractor at the moment, and I found a short piece of rotted hose laying on top of the tank, but it...
