I bought a new Bolens riding lawn mower with a 15.5 hp Briggs & Stratton motor with a 2 year warrenty on it. Well just two weeks after my 2 year warrenty was up I started my mower and blew a 3 inch hole through the motor. I am an aircraft mechanic and tuned up and changed the oil in it every year. I heard that Briggs & Stratton are now made in China and from my experience I believe it now.
I was lucky and found a 1992 Montgomery Ward Industrial,Commercial 7 speed 42 inch riding mower with a 12.5 hp Briggs & Stratton I/C Quite Industrial Commercial moter for $150.
What I want to know is why is my current 17 year old lawn mower still going strong and new ones today only seem to last for two years.
Like I said I am an aircraft mechanic.. My boat is a 1989 Maxum Cuddy with a Force 125 that still runs like new, My car is a 1971 Plymouth Satellite that was still running on it's original spark plugs and starter when I got it. I guess the days of being made in the U.S.A. meaning anything are over.
I have been looking for my next riding lawn mower to come with anything but a Briggs & Stratton motor. I am sure though that my 17 year old B&S has a few more years left in it. Heck I think that I should just rebuild my current riding mower and motor since it seems that anything new today is built only to last through it's warrenty and nothing else.

Find out where B$S head office is. Take photos of your damaged engine in detail.. Write a description and history to them and ask them if their current engines are doing this and why did this one malfunction when in a normal operation mode and did not run out of oil for some reason.. Perhaps an oil leak occurred and the engine unexpectedly ran out of oil.. You are an aircraft mechanic and can understand that something serious went wrong to inflict such damage.. Manufacturers usually appreciate feed back and you never know.. You might get a bonus.
I saw a commercial for this thing that hooks onto any riding lawn mower and it is meant to get rid of all the leaves in your yard and it turns it into mulch that yoou can shoot out of the other end. Anybody know what i'm talking about!? Help I want to get it for my dad for Christmas! :)
What a coincidence, I was just going through the new issue of "Field & Stream" magazine when I saw an ad for the very item you described. Here's the info: It's called "The Cyclone Rake". Web site: http://www.cyclonerake.com/index.htm
Your dad is lucky to have such a thoughtful daughter.
Hi I know this might be an easy question for some but I am 19 and a girl. I have never started a mower before. I am watching my parents house for them while they are on vacation. I want to mow the lawn for my dad. He has a Cub Cadet commercial mower. I tried to find the manual online but it doesn't have a model plate anymore so I don't know the model or serial number. Its a ride on mower I think its a zero turn or something (the kind with the two handles)
I know where the brake is and the key and it has gas
i thought i could just release the brake and turn the key
but obviously not
please help me lol
You have two handles for steering that can be very tricky until you learn how it feels. Starting? look it over it should have a choke pull it out or turn it or what ever to full. Assuming you have a full tank of gas. If it is electric start I assume it is then turn the key and start it. As soon as it starts push the choke towards open slowly until engine warms up then you can open choke all the way. Ow yes before you try to star it make sure it is in neutral so it doesn't take off with you until you are ready. Start by putting it in low or first gear and let the clutch out slowly. When you feel comfortable steering going real slow then you can go to higher gear. But be very care-full of that type of steering.
Then you have to engage the mower Deck. This is not an easy Mower to operate so be very carefull.
There is a Welcome to Chili's commercial where a guy runs into a giant chili while on a riding lawn mower. Who is the Greeter girl in the commercial?
This girl is tall and has long reddish blond hair. I've never seen her in anything else.
I wish I knew, she sounds really hot. I will keep my eyes open for it next time it's on.

Commercial walk behind commercial lawn mower are those that you walk behind rather than riding. In order from them to chop the grass they’re going to need to be pushed through the grass. Sit on mowers are sometimes much costlier than walk behind mowers. Unless you are regularly mowing a space of more than one acre it is not really worth the extra money to buy a riding mower. Walk behind mowers come in numerous different types including push reel, electric, cordless, gas, and commercial.
Commercial walk behind mowers will have a wider cut and a massive capacity thick roll formed catcher which is made with a robust steel mesh. They are generally strong enough to handle stones and include special grip handles for comfort and ease when you’re lifting and emptying the catcher. The majority of the time commercial walk behind mowers will fold for ease of storage and transport.

Damage and wear are two ofThe most typical reasons for replacing parts lawnmower. Since usury refers to pieces that have worked hard and did not work as they should, damage refers to parts that are totally broken and need to be replaced completely. Bring up situations usually due to worn parts. Unsharpened blade is a clear example of worn parts. You just need to sharpen your mower blade and mow the lawn as a newer one. Damage situations are easy to detect, because most of the time the engine will not startat all. It may also happen that suddenly you had a broken lawnmower when you've only mowed half the size of the garden. This becomes a difficult situation and very embarrassing as well.
