Never Mind... help with lawn tractor
"Jerry S." wrote:
Please advise, Have a Sears lawn tractor, 19.5 HP briggs & stratton (model name I/C Platinum). Anyway it just grinds when the key is turned to start. This problem happened once yesterday and then my wife got it started, and now it will not start. If it was a car I would be looking for a starter. I have no experience with small engines other than cleaning carb, fuel filter replacement, oil and filter replacement. Thanks very much for any help. Jerry S. Never mind, Got adventurous, checked battery cables, located starter motor, removed starter motor. Gear teeth are shot, will check out another one hopefully at Tractor Supply Co. Thanks anyway, Jerry S. |

Thanks anyway, Jerry S. TSC sent me to a nearby small engine supply store, they had a starter on hand for $135.25 without tax. The salesman recommended that I just replace the bendix for $22. The replacement was uneventful, the installation went without a hitch (except the inside bolt has such close clearance that I had to get my 15 year old daughter to get the threads engaged finally so I could tighten it). And the mower started up immediately! Glad I took a moment and spent some time on this! Jerry S. |
