    Running 2 sleds off one Agritronix system ????

    Our tractor club built a second (smaller) sled. We have an Agritronix reading/display system on the older and bigger sled which weighs in at about 22,000 pounds. The second (about 12,000 pounds) one was built to accomodate smaller tractors. We used the smaller one this week at our tractor pull...

    Valve gap questions for B&S 5 HP side valve engine ....

    I've never been on the garden tractor forum here before I don't think so here goes. I picked up an older 5 HP tiller with a B&S side valve engine. The valve gaps are about twice as large as what the recommended setting is .... I have about 0.020 for the exhaust and 0,010 for the intake. I...

    "Split Single Cylinder" engine design ....

    There is an off-road 4x4 "pickup" style vehicle currently on the Hemmings Auction Site for sale, the Austrian manufacturer Puch was one of the names on the nameplate. I remember that outfit selling motorcycles here in North American many years ago through Sears, a 250cc "twin" 2-stroke. But...

    Compression on old 5HP B&S small engine ....

    This is an older version of the 5hp L-head engines that B&S made millions of, it has the old style ignition with points and a condensor. Any idea what the compression should be? This one has about 80-85 pounds when tested, how does that sound to you?

    Hough Payloader .... interesting tractor ....

    I see one of these for sale up here on Facebook Marketplace .... interesting unit. The seller says the Hercules gas engine on this isn't stuck, obviously not running though. He's asking only $1200 CDN which is probably a good buy for the right guy that could handle the project.

    I have an older B&S horizontal shaft engine here that has a dead ignition coil. It was bronze in colour originally although someone sprayed or transplanted a red-sprayed front pull cord assembly cover onto it. The decals on that say Briggs and Stratton, 5 HP at 3400 RMP and also Made In USA and...

    Substitute for Corn Head grease ????

    I've have the lower end chain case apart on my older 5 hp MTD front tine garden tiller. I noticed the online manual specifies to use some brand of special oil/grease (forget the exact name) but I've been told it is the same/similar to JD Corn Head grease. I believe corn head grease is a very...

    Unknown Plant ID .... continued .....

    Earlier this spring I noticed some strange volunteer plants showing up in our garden area. I posted a photo here on YT (maybe Tales, not sure) and more than one YT'er ID'd the plants as Crab Grass. There were other suggestions as well as to what it was. I was pulling out onions today and...

    Engaging mower stalls the engine .... JD L120

    We have an older JD L120 (I think that's the model) .... 22 hp engine. It runs OK, nothing great, it's been rode hard and put away wet but has still worked OK. Lately, when I engage the mower by pulling out the knob on the dash, the engagement (however it works) to get the mower going kills...

    Local bee populations this year ....

    I've never seen so many bees out back in our garden as this year. And I think I have read over the past number of years that they are in trouble for survival. Not sure about that. A week ago the raspberries were the center of attention, you could hear the buzzing sound from the house if...

This is the truck's bell housing in the vicinity of where the starter bolts onto the casting. There is a small hole visible in the bell housing itself which puzzles him...

    The mystery of motor oil having a "best before" date ....

    First, let's skip the debate on the use of the terms "motor" vs "engine" agreed? A friend mentioned to me that he was told that new oil that has been sitting on the shelf too long should not be used because the additives settle out and can cause problems once they settle out of suspension in...

    My friend has a John Deere 1010 utility gas tractor. It has the rear PTO assembly with just the single 540 option. See the photo below. He has an oil leak from the area to the left side of the PTO seen in the photo. I'm guessing this is the area which, if he had both the 540 and 1000 rpm...
