    Hood removal with loader???

    Looks like I have to replace the head gasket on my 8N front mount. It has a Wagner loader. Anyone ever take the hood off with the loader on? Trying to be a bit lazy.

    Hydraulics question

    Heh, I'd kill for a lift that would stay up for 5 minutes let alone overnight. Just finished spreading 10 truckloads of millings with a lift that hits the ground within 10 seconds! Have the parts, need to do the fix. Your story gives me hope!

    OT why BriggsS backfire/wreck starters? Help please

    Yep, mine is one of those. I had to gustimate the 1/4 inch since the plug is not on the top of the piston. I do not have a manual, but have been using the net for info. I'm hoping to get this back into good condition and sell it. The admiral (my wife) had decided that the back field looks...

    OT why BriggsS backfire/wreck starters? Help please

    Update: The starter drive gear(nylon?) was toast. I put on a new gear. Checked the valve clearance. the specs were 6-8 and 9-11. Mine were 6 and 9. It was late and I needed to mow the grass, so I did not pull flywheel to check the key. Will do that tomorrow. It started and ran fine...

    OT why BriggsS backfire/wreck starters? Help please

    On further research I learned that on newer mowers (not mine) there is a solonoid that shuts off the gas to the carb that is supposed to stop the backfiring when turned off. When it fails to close the machine backfires. People have put a plug in its place and the problem goes away. Just...

    OT why BriggsS backfire/wreck starters? Help please

    I've just spent some time researching this on the net. Either the flywheel key (unlikely) or valve adjustment from what I gather. There is a mechanical compression release that becomes inoperative if the valves are too far out of adjustment. I'll update with info. Thanks to all for the...

    OT why BriggsS backfire/wreck starters? Help please

    Dunk, I just have the homeowner manual- it basically says put in gas and oil and for everything else take out your credit card and....... I'm going to have to pull the sheet metal shroud around the engine again to get at the starter. I'll rip off the top screen so I can see the key tomorrow...

    OT why BriggsS backfire/wreck starters? Help please

    My 17 HP Briggs Straton twin cylinder mower is giving me fits (MTD mower). It has been peculiar to start for years. When I turn the key, the motor turns part of a revolution and seems to hang up. I release the key and then it starts normally when I try again. The starter went bad this year...
