attaching the idler arm on my lawn mower?

Teddy Tile

while mowing the grass this weekend, the idler pully on my 48 inch deck craftsman lawn mower exploded (pully broke). i was able to get a new pully, put it on the deck, and reassemble it....but, i cannot figure out where the spring attaches thats on the idler arm. one end of the spring is attached to the idler arm, and the other end goes somewhere on the deck BUT I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE. could someone please explain it? assume im standing behind the deck looking towards the front.

thanks in advance! all tips and ideas welcome!
i did check the parts manual, but it doesnt show what it hooks onto...it only shows the spring.

Answer
Okay, this is quite an easy fix and the spring attaches to a small pole next to the left hand pulley (as you're sitting on the mower) and to the rear of the pulley cowling. The way to attach the spring is to get a 3/32/ inch steel rod and make a hook at one end and a means to grip at the other (handle) and slip the hook over the spring and pull until the spring is over the bar, then tap the spring down onto the riser bar then release the hook.

Cub cadet lawn mower wont start?

Jeff

I got a cub cadet lawn mower series 2000 lawn mower. 48 inch. I turn the key all I hear is a single click. Kinda like the safety neutral switch is not working. But I also got a light on it the dash. Now all the light have vibrated out of the original spot some time ago. So not sure what its saying. Only spots are ; fuel- tank is full, oil- its full, pto - it engages and disengages. Its disengaged now. And volts. I hooked a battery charger to it says fine, also tried to jump it just encase. Any help? If its the safety neutral switch. Where do I find it? Is there any way to over ride it?

Answer
Did you check the battery cable connections to see if they're tight and clean? A lot of times when I get a click when I try to start my mower is the battery cable connections are loose or dirty. Also, check if you might have a dead battery. If the battery is good, all cables are clean and tight, look for other connections from the battery to the starter, plus the ground cable to see if they're in good condition. If it is the neutral switch, you might have to have a deader look at it.

supervw669

i have a Craftsman GT5000 48" well it mowered real good and than it start to smoke and smell like burnt rubber so i turned off look at deck and belt was turn around so i took belt off and flip it right and started mowering again the same thing does anyone what to do....thanks

Answer
The belt is worn. When you replace the belt, check all the pulleys including the tensioning pulley to see that they are all turning free and aligned. The spindles for the blades have bearings and can be cleaned and greased. The tensioning pulley just needs a drop of oil and needs to be replaced if it isn't turning freely. Mine did the same thing except the belt would roll over and jump off. A new belt solved the problem.

How much is it to cut an acre of land with gas currently at $3.65 a gallon?

best 48 lawn mower image

BrandonP

I am currently looking for a house to buy and there are a couple that I like but I have a concern about the grass cutting cost. Does anyone have an idea on how much it would be to cut an acre of land using your own push or riding lawn mower? Any idea on how long it might take to cut an acres of grass? by the way I mean flat land with no hills.

Answer
It will take one hour with a 48" riding lawn mower and one gallon of gas. One hour of spraying the beds for weeds.
True cost: High school kid,$20, gas, $4, herbicide, $5

lawn mower with Kohler 23hp engine quits with gas still in tank?

ssr

I have a Ariens 48" zero turn lawn mower with a Kohler 23cv engine. I have replaced the air cleaner, spark plug, fuel filter, and fuel pump and no change. When mower quits there is still gas in the tank. I fill the tank to the top and it runs fine again, but it still won't run through a full tank of gas at one time. Any suggestions!!

Answer
I am guessing that the engine quits with the same amount of fuel in the tank each time. The fuel pick up line in the tank is above the bottom and won't drain the tank completely. When it quits and you refuel does it start right back up? If so, you are just running out of gas. If it quits with different levels of fuel in the tank I would look at the filter and the fuel pump. If it quits and doesn't start right back up when you put fuel in it, you should also check the ignition. Coils will fail when they get hot and work when cooled down. It is easy to check for spark at the plugs.

why does my huskee lawn mower leave streaks in the yard??

best 48 lawn mower image

Justin G

My 48'' lawn mower streaks the yard when i mow. I have changed the blades and they are good. Lawn mower repairman says the deck is not warped. Any idea?

Answer
Joe may have it here. Check the wheels height adjustment and make sure they are all the same from front to back and side to side. It is not much adjustment there but it will leave the streaks like you described if not exactly even. Another thought. Do you always mow the lawn the same way? If so, try mowing it a completely different pattern the next few times and see if this helps.

I need a lawn mower with a horizontal shaft. I know most lawn mowers are vertical but I also know there is horizontal ones. So can anyone tell me the ways I can tell if it's horizontal or vertical(physical differences) thanks.

How big of shed do you need to build to fit only a 4-wheeler and riding lawn mower?

best 48 lawn mower image

Jen C

Plus, push mower, snow plow for 4wheeler, snowblower, shovels, riding lawn mower has a 3bagger on it too,

Answer
A 12' X 12' shed should do it. Measure the width of the deck on the mower because that is the widest machine you are going to get into the shed. I believe you are going to need at least a 48" double door to get it inside the shed. The other stuff won't have a problem and there will be plenty of room on the inside. You should probably get a building permit to be in conformity with local zoning.

How long would it take if Greg mowed the grassy area alone?

clue_less

Paul and Greg are going to City Park to mow 24,000 square feet of the park's grassy area. Paul arrives first and begins mowing. He finishes mowing 6000 square feet in one hour it takes for Greg (who has his own lawn mower) to arrive. They mow the remaining are working together in 1 hour, 48 minutes. How long would it take if Greg mowed all of the grassy area alone?

Please explain how to get the answer.

Answer
paul mows 6000 sqr feet per hour

p = 6000 x 2:48 = 2.8 x 6000 = 16800

g = 24,000 - 16800 = 7200

greg mows 4000 sqr feet per hour (7200 / 1.8)

it would take greg 6 hours
