Hope you are enjoying your RV. As for the clogged Crankcase Breather Vent, I have often wondered if this is a minor design flaw. Back in the day, Briggs used little 'muffin' mufflers, or cigar mufflers, and the Breather Vent had clear air around it. But the current 'Low Tone' muffler covers...

Hey Great White North, Before you tear into your Briggs engine to check out the rings, there's an easier thing to check first. At about this age, Briggs motors often suffer from a clogged Crankcase Breather Vent. This can cause oil to be sucked into the air cleaner and into the carburetor...

What an awesome machine! I think I burned up about 10% of my laptop battery just staring at the picture. What is that, a single 30" blade? How well does it cut?

Jackoat777, Wow, what a fantastic post about transaxles! With your knowledge, I'll bet you could teach a college course on this. Seriously! The transaxle in my MTD is the famous Peerless, Model 618-0077, known far and wide for its ruggedness and bulletproof reliability (/sarc). This lawn...

That's a folding utility trailer in the image, rated for 1,000 pounds max. You can tell by the wheels, it's a highway trailer, normally used to haul the mower to a job site. Once there, I could offload the mower, then if desired, unhook the trailer from the Jeep, hook it onto the mower, and...

It's do-able. I've done it with a 20-year-old MTD with the belt drive VSP transmission: Not really recommended as something you'd want to do every day, as it stresses the Peerless transaxle and the drive belts. Best way to keep that transaxle alive, is to keep the speeds low and the loads...

>> My latest oil change was on my 1999 Snapper with a swapped 2012 Briggs 7.25 flat head motor. Used Briggs 30 oil and the motor doesn't have a filter. << Hey Silverado12, Would you happen to know the Model and Type numbers on that 2012 Briggs Flathead 7.25 motor? I wonder if any only those...

Yes, that's what I've heard. As fond as I am of this mower, it's not been without it's little issues over the years. At 8 years, the carburetor clogged, from ethanol. I replaced it with an OEM, then overhauled and rebuilt the original. It sits on the shelf now, and when the current unit...

Since Day 1 when I brought this Troybilt home 14 years ago, I've used Brad Penn 30w. First change was at 5 hours, then every 10 to 12 hours after that. Brad Penn has ZDDP, which I'm told used to be in all oils, but they took it out to protect catalytic converters. It's often used in off-road...
