Whew, got it off just a couple of minutes ago. I hit it with PB Blaster and then went the route of the puller again. I used a sacrificial washer of the PTO shaft of the motor and just started cranking away. Bit by bit I kept hearing a pop and it was sliding down the shaft. Had to use the puller...

Looking for a bit of help here guys. I'm trying to get this clutch off so I can replace it. So far I've got 2/3s of it off :) The second one down on this page is the clutch: http://www.psep.biz/store/troy_bilt_electric_pto_clutch.htm I've taken the bottom bolt out that screws in to the PTO...

OUCH:wow: Not sure where to tell you to head other than what you are doing. What about a solenoid for the starter? Or the ignition switch itself? Good luck and keep us posted. BTW, welcome to NetTractorTalk the bestest tractor site on the web!!!

Wow, just priced this stupid little electric clutch. Discontinued by Snapper, but did find it at one place for $113 and $8 S&H. Most places were between $150 & 160. Some were as high as $220 & $259. Too good of mower to just ditch, even with the engine repairs we are at $200, can't replace it...

ARGH!!! Took the mower back into Mom's tonight. Started mowing. Tractor is running great. Then all of sudden the electric clutch/PTO to engage the mower deck went out. It doesn't even try to engage the blades now. Guess I get to work on that now. So I brought it back home again. Oh, forgot to...

Was pretty anxious last night. Went home ate and changed clothes. Headed out to the barn. Drained the oil. Would've like to have let it drain a little bit longer, but I couldn't wait.:) So I refilled the oil. Turned the key on w/o the choke and let it turn over for probably 10 seconds - which...

Well the parts finally came in on Monday. I was able to get the head back on it Monday evening. Started to put the aluminum intake push rod in. Didn't realize it went I took it out, but it was bent and actually had a pretty good arch in it. Stopped yesterday and picked one up, they actually had...

I resemble that remark Doc. Though I did add to my collection the other day. I brought home some of Dad's things when I brought the Snapper rider home with the broken rocker arm stud. I brought Dad's 1965ish Sears Suburban home that he was working on a no start issue that has now turned into a...

I got it home Friday. F-I-L was here so I forgot to take pictures, but I managed to get the head off the motor w/o pulling the motor off the tractor. Wasn't sure where to head next.....I had just bought a new pack of drill bits at Menards. Hadn't planned on using them for precision work, but...

Just now realized my pictures didn't get attached to the original post. Guess I screwed that up didn't I.:shitHitsFan: Shoot. It keeps telling me it isn't a valid image file. These came from my phone, but I'm not having any problems with them on the computer. I've resized them to 800 x 600 and...

I used their push mower. It is a small/cheap MTD w/ only a 4.5 HP motor. OK for trimming after the rider is done, but not really up to mowing the yard - especially when it is high like it was last night. Not sure if I'm up to this or not either Doc. It may just become another project on my to...

Thanks. I did get it mowed last night using their push mower. BTW, have I sais recently that I hate MTD:2gunsfiring_v1::shitHitsFan:

Since Dad passed I've been mowing Mom's grass with their 14.5 HP B&S powered Snapper riding lawn mower that I bought for Dad back about 96 or 97. It has been a great little mower with a 38" cut - perfect for their yard. I stop last night to mow the grass as it has been 2 weeks since I mowed and...

I haven't tried that one, may have to give that one a try. Of course, I'm afraid to touch too much right now, since my little adventure with the gear box a few weeks ago, everything is working pretty well - don't want to mess with the laws of nature and change something.:bonk:

I can't really help you on the going rate, but that seems low. Just remember, just because you like to run your equipment and you aren't doing it for the money, you still need to turn a profit. While your equipment is new now, it will breakdown and require repairs and tractor parts aren't cheap...

I sometimes still wonder about removing some of the back of the deck. I'm too chicken to do it though.

On my TC-24D New Holland uses turnbuckles. These can in theory should be easy to adjust and allow you to be at infinite positions. But I find that they can sometimes be very difficult to adjuster. It depends on if there is any pressure on the turnbuckles from the attached implement. It also...

I run the high lift blades from New Holland. Never did actually go with the Gatorblades. I think Murph did. When I went to get the Gatorblades Franklin didn't have them in stock, so I've just stayed with the high-lift. They do a better job than the standard lift of picking the grass up where the...

How are you liking this Jerry? I got mine out last night. I haven't trimmed at all yet this year, so most of the grass was pretty tall. I used it to go around the kids' swingset, around the dog kennels, and around the barn and shed. Then I took it to the front road ditch. Didn't need to go down...

I think I found the problem. The idler pulley that is used to adjust the tension on the belt must have taken a "hit" when the belt broke. It had a slight bend in it. Not sure if it would have let the belt come off, but I used a hammer to beat it back into shape. You can see the before and after...
