Riding Mower Hitch Options: Reviews and Test
Riding Mower hitch options. Test everything from a ball, ATV hitch, receiver to a special mower hitch. This one was fun, I totally did not expect to do a wheelie. I highly recommend that Mower Hitch for any serious trailer. But just a ball or the ATV hitch work great for just small stuff around the yard.

    You gave the torque in ft lbs, not nm. It’s 8.7 ft lbs and 5.2 ft lbs respectively, or in nm 11 nm and 7.05 nm, which, as you stated is not much. 87 ft lbs is gonna ruin someone’s day.

    I’ve done this on several motors with great success. This time however not so much. When I performed this service on a 21hp 540cc motor in a Craftsman YTS3000 it took multiple attempts before the compression dropped enough for the engine to crank. Valves are currently set at .004/intake and .006/exhaust. Even removed cover again to make sure. Still cranks hard though battery reads 12.9v. Weird thing is now when I shut it off it after fires a few times before stopping. Exhaust smell rich(?). Which way do I experiment with the valve lash to resolve? Greater or lesser lash space? And which one? Intake, exhaust, both?

    • @MowerMike

I can't wait till the Cub Cadet dies I hate the way it mows, absolute Junk from MTD. At least my gas tank is in the rear of the mower, thank God.
