You're looking for a "log arch" There's a million variations on the basic design https://www.neobits.com/logrite_tools_aa024_logrite_atv_arch_p13316034.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have one of the IR temp guns - where do you measure, and what's the upper limit of "too hot"?

so are there wired and wireless tachometers? I see some with leads to clip to the spark plug, but I don't want to do that since I want to adjust it with the air filter and cover in place. Can the wired tachs get an inductive reading without connecting the plug wire?

need to buy a digital tachometer to tune my OPE. I opened up the muffler on my 029 Farm Boss and it's running good, but want to make sure it's not too lean/hot. Not sure I'm hearing the four-stoke signature with my ear. I see $100 tachs and $20 tachs - what's the difference?

This summer I cut up about 3 cords of 24-26" red oak that my neighbor had taken down a few years ago. I messed around with some wedges at first, but then I switched to my Fiskars x27 axe. I could flake some 3" pieces off the edge (tangent to the growth rings) until the remaining core was small...

Looks more like jack o lanterns to me, but you could post to Facebook Mushroom ID group to get more opinions. https://www.mushroomexpert.com/omphalotus_illudens.html As far as what to do about it.... nothing. Once the mycelium has colonized a tree there's nothing you're going to spray on it to...

Well I installed the new solenoid today. Nothing. No click or starter activity. So possibly the problem is...The ignition ? Or a safety interlock? What test points can I probe with my multimeter to narrow this down?

The former. The starter spins the motor round and round, but the engine doesn't fire. When I jump that part of the electoral system, am I also bypassing the spark/ignition system ?

Ok I connected the battery positive to the starter motor with a jumper cable. The starter spun up the engine, but the engine didn't turn over. I'm going to get a replacement solenoid and go from there

I bought a new battery and attached it. I hear a single click, but the starter doesn't turn. What's the next thing to check ? Ignition? The headlights turn on in that position, does that mean my ground is good?

Called MTD and they were of little help. Customer Service rep did 5 minutes of research while I was on hold and was happy to tell me that "your mower needs a 12V battery" . Thanks! The current battery is this one...

Figure out a way to protect them from deer and voles. Tree tubes, hardware cloth, etc.

Here are some pictures of the labels

I think you're right. Maybe 27" is the deck size? Yes it's a 13 HP engine. I'll look for the sticker tonight and see what size battery I need.

thank you; I'll pick one up on my next Lowe's trip

I'm open to recommendations. When I search for a 12-Volt mower battery, I get a dizzying array of results. From $30 to $150. Glass-mat sealed lead acid? How many cold cranking amps do I need? How many amp-hours?

Thanks for the tips. I want to focus on the electrical system first, then worry about the mechanicals. I do use Sta-bil fuel stabilizer every time I fill my gas can, so that should avoid the "stale fuel" problems. Engine is a Tecumseh OHV130 Battery is a 12-Volt / 230 CCA model. How many...

wow! this is an old dead thread you have brought back to life! Happy to report that, 8 years after I started this thread, I have my MS250 (without Easy2Start) well-tuned, starting on 2-3 pulls every time, and running like a champ. Last summer I cut up 9-cord grapple load of hardwood with the...

I inherited a crappy Murray 27 HP lawn mower when I moved into this house 2 years ago. It has been very finicky in starting, especially in cold weather. It sits a lot. I mow once every 2-4 weeks in the summer, then it sits in the unheated shed all winter. So my goal this season is to get it...

Turn the dial to test mode. Can you hear the solenoid open up and send water through the line? Does the yellow light turn on? Google aprilaire 600 manual and you can find the circuit board troubleshooting guide
