    briggs stratton 217807 ENGINE REPLACEMENT QUESTIONS

    I'm replacing the engine on a blown DR Mower. The new engine that I'm using is a Briggs Stratton 217807 11.5 HP. It's a real close match, so far it's going pretty well. I have a question though... there's a fuel line with a fuel filter on it. But between the carb & the air filter there's...

    FORD 861 - Trouble running Keeps dying.

    Ok. So here's an update. Any more advice from you all is MUCH appreciated. Before using the tractor I checked the sediment bowl. Looked pretty clean (considering it's probably been a LONG time since it's been touched). There was a very small amount of stuff in it, but not much. Cleaned it out...

    FORD 861 - Trouble running Keeps dying.

    It did seem like choking it helped a bit. Where would I look for a fuel stoppage? THANKS for the quick reply.

    FORD 861 - Trouble running Keeps dying.

    I've got a Ford 861. It's typically been a bit "smoky" which I've posted questions on before. It sees limited farm use, but has always run pretty reliably. Yesterday I went to disc up a field and in the middle of running it, it died, almost as if it had run out of gas. (Tank was 1/2 full with...

    Problem diagnosis...??

    I've got an 861. I've noticed that after extended periods of use... (couple hours maybe?) that when I shut the engine down, it wants to keep firing... kind of half chugging, even though the key is off. It'll do that until sort of let up on the clutch a bit to give it some resistance. Any...

    Fuel Gauge doesn't work... where to start?

    Probably not a new one here, but I didn't find exactly what I was looking for in the search. What are the first steps I should go through in trying to trouble shoot a fuel gauge that isn't working. Is there a "common" problem that I should be looking for? As it stands now, it doesn't do...

    Ford 861 Oil Change Questions.

    Understood, but should I soak it in something (if so, what...). It didn't look like compressed air would be enough.... Thx.

    Ford 861 Oil Change Questions.

    Is there an easy way to clean the breather screens? This tractor is probably in need of some TLC and they both look pretty dirty...? Thanks.

    Ford 861 Oil Change Questions.

    I"ve got a few more dumb questions, but better to ask now than screw something up. I"m wanting to change the oil on a new to me Ford 861. On the picture I"ve attached, is "A" the oil fill where I would add new oil? What is B? Thanks.

    Ford 861 - Problem with PTO / clutch?????

    And to "adjust freeplay" I'm assuming that would be the bolt that's threaded around the rod that hooks up to the clevis? So if I wanted to see if it could be adjusted I should make sure the clutch pedal is in the highest position, and then start raising it up more by adjusting that nut until I...
