Re: Johnny Bucket

I don’t have any experience with one of these but it’s a really neat set up. I can see where it would be handy around the house. And I think you’re right you could adapt your mount fairing easily. I looked around the web a little and the only downside that stuck out at me is a 250 pound lift capaci...

Johnny Bucket

For a while I've wanted a Johnny Bucket for my tractor. I've seen a few forsale in the $400 range but never bought one. I put out an add about a month ago on CL and got a local hit the other night. Like new Johnny Bucket with no tractor adapter bracket or wiring harness for $300. I reached out to Jo...

Re: Pictures: this moment

My dethatcher doesn't work all that great when I'm not towing it behind my aerator at the same time because its designed for a box store ride on mower with a hitch about 3" lower. 20240423_122949.jpg This causes the tines to be up off the ground. 20240423_123015.jpg So I thought I would try fli...

Re: Vanguard 12.5HP/14HP/16HP/18HP carburetor cleaning

Briggs can be very finicky and a pain. They to start they are extremely under fueled and run borderline lean when in good shape and from new.... It takes very little to make them unhappy as far as dirt and or bad fuel/water etc. We have most parts in stock including new OEM carbs, pumps, gaskets et...

Re: Vanguard 12.5HP/14HP/16HP/18HP carburetor cleaning

So back to this stupid problem. Last fall I pulled the engine apart, cleaned the debris from the engines cooling fins, took the carb apart and tried to do a good cleaning. I actually attempted cleaning it several times to make sure it was good and clean. I put it all back together and the tractor st...

Its slightly easier to put on but My tensioner is approaching the end of its adjustment range. The tensioner threads are al...
