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

I replaced the carb gasket this week and also shot some carb cleaner through the various holes in the carb while I had it apart. The pilot jet was nice and clean. Still lacks power. I tried adjusting the carb a bit. I left it a tad richer. Towards the end of the carb adjstment procedure, there is a ...

Re: Painting hood on 444

Sorry to see the paint job ruined. This is what I used to paint my deck 7 years ago. Looked great but the paints been flaking down to the metal for years especially when I wash the deck with the hose set to stream. Maybe the rustoleum primer is also crap? I wiped the deck down with isopropyl alcohol...

Re: Pictures: this moment

Bought it :thumbsup: At some point I'll start work on a mount to the mule drive. Both linear actuators work. The bucket dump actuator has a clutch when it hits the end of its range. The lift probably does but I can't test that without the actuator mounted on both ends. The bucket is actually small e...

Re: Oil Filter Examination

Is the material magnetic ? or not David the larger flakes were magnetic. The magnet had trouble picking up the very small pieces. Not sure if the small pieces are aluminum or just embedded into the filter media. Magnet material could be pretty much anything but the engine block. I did use a decentl...

Re: 444 deal or no deal

See if the mowing deck has the steel spindle housings or the cast aluminum housings which corrode. The steel housings fetch about $50 each.

About a month ago I changed the oil on my wifes 2015 sonata with 1.6L turbo 168K miles, my 2017 sonata with 2L hybrid 118K miles and my Ingersoll 4016 with vanguard engine with just over 300 hours in that order. After draining out the oil pan, I found some fine metal shavings. Enough to cover my fin...
