Hello, I joined this forum a couple weeks ago when doing some maintenance on my snow blower. I wasn't planning on sticking around, but then I stumbled on hanyoukimura's mower repair thread. Wow- talk about bringing back memories. I used to repair and sell mowers when I was a teenager, so I could really relate.
So it has inspired me to work on a few machines I have around here:
- 80's Toro S-200: Replaced the directional vanes, back cover & choke assembly, belt, tensioner, and a few other odds n' ends
- 90's Craftsman RWD mower: Deck was rotting out so I replaced it with one from mower where pretty much everything was ruined, except the deck
- 77 Gilson / Montgomery ward snowblower: This is the vertical shaft model and I decided to swap out the engine with a Quantum. Works! Too bad the machine's design isn't better, lol.
- 89 Meijer mower: I've actually used this one almost since it was new. Parents bought it in '90 and I rebuilt it around 2000. It's in need of some loving now, so I'm basically restoring the thing.
I have a few other things I'm going to work on (namely a planet Jr two wheel tractor), but I'll probably do it in the spring.
There is one thing I have been running into though- I am noticing that it's difficult to determine what decal sets are for each Briggs & Stratton engine. Everything seems to show up as "KIT-LABEL" and most sites don't have pictures or a description of what they are for. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find the decal sets I need?
