Thanks for the replies. This post is for my brothers riding mower I believe he said it was a Briggs and Straton motor.

My Deere LT155 shuts down after 30 minutes of running. I have replaced the spark plug and fuel filter and still does the same (as well as cleaned out the holes on the self-ventilated gas cap). Any suggestions ??

I have had one of these for a while www.kwiklift.com on a suggestion from someone here on the board and absolutely love it. Its expensive but worth it. Just drive up the ramps wheel chock it and get underneath. I just painted it bright red last night with the duplicolor paint shop deal thru a...

The dielectric grease was in a red and white can sold at pep boys had the long tip on it to go into your spark plug wire boots I think CRC made it if your wondering which kind I used.

Yup, put a blob on the front and back of the belt fired it up, the blob disappeared without mess and have been squeak free ever since then. Also have a backup pulley and tensioner in case the new ones fail .

I know I am going to catch some flak for this but this is my experience with my 2000 Jimmy 4.3. I treid EVERYTHING to get rid a a belt squeal. New idler pulley new tensioner new gates serpentine belt cleaned the #%^#$ out of all the pullies with water+degreaser (simple green). Everytime the new...

Heat kills a transmission, coolers kill heat. I have them on all of my automatic vehicles. Like you said its $25, cheap insurance. I like the stacked plate coolers at summit for $50 w/ install kit.

What size oil filter do you use for your permacool (189) sandwich adapter? I have been using a PH16 which is shorter than a PH8A but I could really use something skinnier not so wide.

I have a Frantz on the motor last oil change was at 145,000 when I did the intake manifold gasket. I started with mobile 1 5w30 and changed the tp roll every 3,000 miles with scotts 1000 TP and whatever cheap oil I had laying around (supertech,shell,havoline). The truck started to leak a few...

Fuel Pumps (Gas Guage Problem) and front wheel bearings/hub and the others mentioned above especially the intake manifold gasket. (I have had to change them on both of my 2000 model blazers/Jimmy there is a new aluminum style gasket from gm available). Otherwise excellent vehicles one of mine...
