hello all , please can anyone help ....I foolishly took the rings off a piston with out noting which groove they came off .....I have looked at many picture of different ring types and fitting instructions but have not identified my type ....so
the engine is 10hp horizontal cast iron (old style) 243400 ....the piston has 3 rings compression , wiper , and oil
1.. ring has an internal chamfer easily 2/3rds the thickness of the ring ...that finishes with a small flat at the bottom of the ring
2...ring has an internal chamfer only 1/3rd of the thickness of the ring that finishes with a larger flat at the bottom of the ring
so 1 ring with a large slope and 1 with a small slope , there is no steps or grooves just slopes
if anyone has seen this configuration what ring is fitted the first from the top of the piston (main compression ring)
regards Neil

Hello,
Just joined the site. I have 917.28870 Craftsman Professional 24 H.P. Intel ELS engine and a 42" deck. Purchased this lawn tractor in 2008, it has 625 hours of heavy use mowing up hills and on rough terrain 1-2 acres. I have serviced it myself religiously. Major repairs has been replacing a broken cast iron axle, mower deck spindles and spindle assemblies for the tires. Last week while chopping up leaves with my bagger the HST went out in reverse. I was able to drive the tractor forward but no go in reverse. I'm figuring the Tufftorq K46BT finally wore out. The engine has had no problems. It looks like I'm looking for a new lawn/garden tractor with a heavier duty transmission. Any suggestions? Any market for a awn tractor in this condition? The local LS dealer I bought a LS XG3037H tractor suggested a Ariens.
Thanks, this looks like a great site for lawn and garden tractors

Is this a good mower? It is on my local craigslist for $600. It has a hydrostatic transmission, electric PTO clutch, 50" deck, and a Kohler 24 HP V-Twin. I really just want to know if these were notorious for any issues. I have attached a couple of pics.

I have a cub cadet LTX1040 riding mower. I was wondering if a oil filter other than a Kroler filter can be used ?

I have thought about becoming involved in a forum like this. I am always interested in reading all the posts about lawn.

Hie..
Through this article I will suggest you the basic steps of repairing Mower-
You should disconnect the spark plug lawnmower before you start with the repair so that their are no chances of the engine starting. It is good to wear working gloves, because engines have sharp blades and dirt which can give you an infection. For Eye protection wear glasses so that gasoline and dirt do not end up in your eye.
I hope you are comfortable with this tip. :smile:

I have a Troy Bilt Super Bronco 42" riding lawn mower. I would like to know if you can tell me where the oil plug would be on the rear end of that mower?

I work for a mower OEM manufacturer. I'm getting my feet wet with this app and wanted to ask a question. As you can imagine, we do a lot of thinking about mowers around here, both for pros and homeowners.
One thing we'd love to know is... If you could design the perfect riding/zero turn mower, what three features would it have? You could include specific features about safety, electronics, power, high-tech - the sky's the limit here.
I'll check back periodically to see your ideas.
Thanks!

I have a Honda 3813, I pulled the engine and replaced the starter about a 1 1/2 years ago. Has run great till now. Now when I turn the key to start, I only get a buzzing noise from the starter solenoid. Some times when I turn the key I get the buzzing noise, and a spark comes from the positive post of the battery. I've checked all the connections. I've replaced the battery and starter solenoid, but still the same buzzing noise. I disconnected the solenoid and starter connections, ran a wire from the positive connection on the starter and touch the positive post of the battery, and the starter engages, and turns the engine over. Is this a starter problem, possibly shorting inside the starter? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm purchasing a house with 1.1 acres of land, the front makes up about 2/3 of the lot and is gently sloped. The back is a moderately sloped and about 1/3 of the lot. It also has a two lane asphalt driveway about 100 ft long. I may need to remove snow on occasion. I have JD, Cub Cadet, Toro, and Husqvarna dealers very close, all within about 2 miles, as well as Lowe's. Sears less than 10 miles. TSC, Northern Tool and an independent that sells Honda as well as other brands. The independent is probably the largest parts dealer around, metro area of about 250,000 people.
