Great. I have an H puller. Thanks!

I bet someone on this forum has one.

I am going to pull the flywheel on my Briggs ZZ engine to dig into the ignition in hopes of getting spark. The manual calls for a 29020 puller. Those appear to not be the most common item for sale, in fact I am not able to find one. Can I use a generic flywheel puller, or is there a “hack” or...

Thatnks! The shaft was nice and smooth, I put the seal in a couple days days ago and today I put it all together and fired it up. No leak. When I took it apart I also found the the lovejoy spider was gone and the metal of the spurs was about half gone. So it got a new lovejoy connector also. I...

Well I appreciate no one who has been there and done that making fun of me. I took the mount plate and lovejoy off tonight and it is just a 5068 seal, says right on it.

I have a splitter that I bought new in the early 1990’s. It is an MTD, and the pump has started leaking around the shaft seal. The pump is a Barnes 7170936, and I can not find much at all online about it. Wondering if anyone can help me locate a new shaft seal for it, or would I have to get the...

Do you happen to know how the locking function works?

Thanks, I will go over to that forum for sure!

Actually it came from a widow who’s husband passed in 2012. The county sent me to eradicate the beaver in a ditch that runs through her property, and she asked me to get rid of groundhogs under her shed while I was working there. After that, she asked me if I could get that old tractor out of...

I posted the engine of this tractor on here several days ago, and it was generally agreed to be a Briggs Z or ZZ. Now I wondering what the tractor frame itself is, and what the deal with that rear end is? Someone put a hydraulic unit on it with a single acting cylinder under the machine and a...

Thanks so much for the replies! I will take that info and wee what else I can dig up on those briggs!

I was given a highly modified garden tractor, and I can not find any identifying information on the engine. Buddy says he thinks it is an old Kohler. Has a glass settling bowl, and a cylinder fuel tank. I am hoping someone will recognize the engine or be able to give me some insight as to age...

Thanks! It does look like the hien werner jacks. Cant find one with that symbol, but I suppose they made them for different branding.

It sure looks similar to a lot of them, but I can not find one with that emblem in the casting. Maybe if I take it apart I will find something like numbers or a hidden sticker. Has me stumped. I even tried drawing the emblem on paper and doing a google image search without any luck.

Thanks for that lead. So far I can not find any logo for the astro brand, so still not sure. I guess I may never know. This jack does not currently lift, but I have not topped the fluid off yet and I suspect that will be the ticket. Thanks again!
