For what is available and the pricing I would buy new. I know these are low end. But I only need that. I just want something that cuts well and bags well and doesn't take me an hour to mow my less than half acre lot and fits in my shed. I also want 42" and no bigger. I did see a Spartan branded...

I have a 2016ish Simplicity Regent 42" with fabricated deck. 253 hours currently, I have had it for almost two years and bought it used with about 220 hours. It replaced a 42" Toro zero turn that I liked but the cut was awful (clumps everywhere). I was short sighted and should have just bought...

Any cheaper alternatives that meet these specs (see photo)?

Hopefully just some dirty carb jets. Always E0 91 octane in marine use or anything with a carburetor. I have a 90 hp 1985 Johnson 2 stroke. The manual doesn't even say anything about ethanol because it wasn't around then (requires 86 octane minimum). It has seen 91 octane E0 its whole life...

I ran new wire, it wasn't difficult to pull it through, but the old wire eas nailed inside a vent so I had to take the vent off. But pulling the new wire us easy. You could try an Ecobee instead of a Nest. I had one thatcwent bad after several years, and wentcwith Nest only because I got it...

Just a FYI, if you need a snowmobile, ATV, or motorcycle battery and want a Yuasa (many OEM are Yuasa), get it now. I needed one for the snowmobile and had a difficult time finding a Yuasa made aftermarket one online, everyone said out of stock. BatteryMart said they would soon have stock so I...

I told him no, getting up there in hours and he didn't know much when I asked questions. Trying to switch from a 2015 Simplicity Regent I bought last year. It is good except we use the bagger (why we sold our zero turn) and it clogs easy and even when not clogged spits grass all over my legs...

Looking at a 2016 used Toro rider with about 300 hours and a 18hp Kohler Courage engine. Right now it is sight unseen with just a few pics and the guy doesn't seem to know anything (says he inherited it last year after his uncle died). Is the 18hp a twin cylinder or single? Are the Courage...

I have a Craftsman made in USA ratchet that has seen better days. It is starting g to strip a little. Rebuild kits are $34 (part 43434). I wonder if I should rebuild it or get a new one with more teeth (at least 72, I think this one is 36). I would be open to other made in usa or quality made in...

I tried taking off the handle but it wouldn't come off. But with the valve open it exposed the packing nut. Not sure if the handle/stem comes off by loosening the packing nut all the way? I tightened the nut and now it doesn't leak. Still squeaks a ton (both on the house do) but no leaks. Below...

Thanks all. I typically don't deal with copper. I will use a torch and wiggle it off. I couldn't find a repair kit for this type, but they are pretty crappy sillcocks anyway so no harm replacing. I did see where it could be the packing nut is loose so may try tightening that first. In looking...

This is water related so I put it here. The sillcock (outside faucet) is leaking from the valve. Below is a pic of how it is connected to the plumbing in the basement (sillcock is silver). It has threads on the outside (OD) but looks like it is connected on the inside (ID). It is secured on the...

If you like Stenallis vehicles (Chrysler, Dodge, etc) it isn't an awful time to buy new (used is another story) if you find the right dealer. Try Mark Dodge in St Charles, Louisiana. Pricing is around 5% below invoice before incentives (almost unheard of nowdays). My parents ordered from them...

What made me buy the latest push mower (maybe 3 or 4 years ago now) was my wife bent the shaft of our old one by hitting a stump. We had a Toro zero turn that I sold last year because it didn't cut (especially mulch) very well. We bought a used Simplicity Regent tractor style with bagger which...

I only run 91 octane no ethanol fuel in my small engines, including boat and snowmobile. As soon as I fill up the gas can for small engines I put in Seafoam and Startron (you could also use Stabil), even in the beginning and middle of the season when I know the fuel will be used before going...

2016 Ariens Path Pro single stage snowblower. 5w30 Quaker State Ultimate Durability out, same in. Old oil was in there two (maybe 3) seasons, and looked hardly used.

Turned out it was one of the two cables that needed to be connected to the negative terminal was not connected.

Simplicity riding mower. Battery replaced last August and on a cheap tender all winter. Installed today and nothing. Put the better Battery Tender on it and it says fully charged. No clicking or anything. Lights work. I get spark touching metal to the connector that is at the other end of the...

I did a search online and this (AWD and low brake power messages) has happened to others when their battery was dead. I only had the negative disconnected last night, so thought there might have been some parasitic drain. So I checked the charge and it was low. After charging, it started and all...

Well, I hooked the battery back up and the AWD message is gone. The CEL was gone... but the car now won't start and the CEL is back, with a low brake power message. It pretends like it wants to start but dies quickly. Almost like a vacuum line is disconnected but all I did was hook the battery...
