    Model 316 free wheeling lever

    I have this old Model 316 That I have had stored for about a year. I need to move it. Under the right fender there is a lever which I am assuming disengages the hydraulics so that I can push this thing. It will only move a few degrees from the up position. How far is it supposed to move so that...

    B4200D radiator

    Rotten to the core. Yes, I can order a new radiator for $462. For some reason, I find that morally repugnant, though. Someone, somewhere has one for a reasonable price. $462 for a radiator of this size and construction is the epitome of highway robbery.

    B4200D radiator

    OK, I give up. I have reached a level of frustration never before experienced in as long as I can remember. I am in desperate need of a USED radiator for a Kubota B4200D. Last week, after looking for months, I drove 2 1/2 hours to buy a used one I saw advertised on Craigslist. It was off of a...

    Kubota B4200D repairs

    LOL! You found what I found exactly. The second one is some sort of scam. What you download is a description of what you will down load after payment. The first one wants my email address. Generally speaking, the only reason companies want your email address is so they can send you...

    Kubota B4200D repairs

    I am still using the B4200D that belongs to a friend as I mentioned in an earlier post. In return for letting me use it I would like to repair a few issues it has. I can’t seem to find any information on the thing. Is it known by another name or something? I Google Kubota B4200D and can’t find...

    B4200 front hydraulics quit working.

    Yes, I'm very glad. It's kind of a weird arrangement, It's a pretty old machine but the two cylinder diesel just keeps on chugging along. You know, the owner caught me in a weak moment or I would never had agreed to use it. I never borrow anything I can't afford to replace. And if I can afford...

    B4200 front hydraulics quit working.

    I figured it out. There is a knob under the seat. One way and it the rear hydraulics are active. Turn it 180 degrees and the front hydraulics are active. My problem was after I raised the tiller and turned the controller, I had to move the 3 point hitch control back to the raise position. Beats...

    B4200 front hydraulics quit working.

    I was using a friends' old B4200 this morning and was playing around with a rototiller he has mounted on the back. Per his instructions, I turned the knob to activate the rear hydraulics and engaged the PTO. After a couple of minutes of playing with it I switched back to the front hydraulics but...

    Repowered walk behind

    I bought those cheap little bullet mufflers(or whatever they are called) but I kept blowing them in half. Ended up making my own out of 3" pipe. Wish I had a tubing bender. It would have come in handy.

    Gravely Hydro Pro Hydraulics

    I picked up an old Gravely Hydro Pro and the hydraulics are giving me fits. When I first got the machine it was pretty messed up. I have most of the problems fixed and it was doing pretty well. It cuts real well and the engine seems solid. The ground drive has always been a little hinky when you...

    Briggs carb squirting gas?

    Disregard. That isn't the problem. I am assuming gas squirting out of there only happens when it shuts down, I'm not sure. The thing will only run when the choke is pulled almost all the way on so I'm assuming there is a fuel delivery issue. I'm buying a gasket kit and cleaning the heck out of...

    Briggs carb squirting gas?

    My Gravely walk behind has a B&S Model 303777 Type1032E # 98112511 engine. The carb started squirting gas out of a port just in front of the fuel inlet. To the best of my knowledge nothing has ever been connected to that port but I could be mistaken. Any idea what that port is and why gas all of...

    Thinning out the woods

    We have approximately 5 acres of wooded property with a pretty heavy canopy of White Oak and Cherry. The floor of the wooded area isn't exactly bare but there isn't really a lot of underbrush and water run off looks like it might become a problem. As I am located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed...

    Repowered walk behind

    Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It was just that the pipe I was cutting up to make the exhaust was flared in such a way that it made it easy welding together if I put the muffler on backwards. I found a piece I could use as an adapter so that's what I did. I get it all done and someone came...

    Repowered walk behind

    I'm accustomed to it now. It only does it when it's sitting there idling anyway so I got over it. I am in the process of making a new set up out of new pipe anyway. The other ones I pieced together out of some pretty crappy looking exhaust from another mower and the handles off of an old hand...

    Repowered walk behind

    Popping Sheesh, these engines are really sensitive about air leaks in the exhaust, aren't they. 3 or 4 times I've had the exhaust off because of backfiring and popping when it isn't under load. I checked and double checked the welds, ground them down anyway and rewelded, put new exhaust...

    walk behind drive belt adjustment

    Have a GiantVac 48" walkbehind and I'm having issues with control. I can't quite seem to get the drive wheels adjusted correctly. If it maneuvers great, then the handles are too tight. I get the handles just right, it won't steer correctly. I'd replace the belts (they could stand replacing) but...

    Repowered walk behind

    Yeah, the price was right. The electric PTO just became very attractive. PTO linkage just fell apart. After the rain passes I guess I'll start that little project which means I'll have to convert the PTO pulley to a spring tension pulley. Hope I don't have to buy a new belt. So far I have $10...
