How fresh is the fuel? Where did the fuel come from?

If you pull the air filters you can start it with wd-40 it will lub the cylinders. Do not use starting fluid except for a very small amount.

The only other issue could be the shut of selinoid, but I would not look there first.

Make sure u have a good battery.

TSC type stores used to have the heavy canvas "Heat Houser" type that went up along side the engine to bring some heat back to the operator. They had a universal frame that would fit most tractors. I haven't saw one for years but they may still be available. Before tractor cabs became common most every farmer with livestock chores had one on a chore tractor.

Hey,

Thanks for the input. I ended up taking it to a technician who initialy thought it might be a return spring. It ended up being of all things; dirt/mud/debris on cable and in spring areas. I had cleaned it up well I thought but I guess I missed some spots! :)

Thanks.

Thanks...didn't see it there. I just figured the turf tire size was standard on these...Don't have access to my tractor, and I couldn't find the info online.

Read the size off the tire and take it to any tractor dealer, farm-tire shop, or Google "tire + chains."

On the backside of the loader valve are 2-caps with 2- screws in each one, remove the 2-screws and confirm that everything is tight underneath them, if it is I would look at the relief valve on your loader valve.

Cutting "as low as possible" or "the lower the better" ends up working against you many ways. 1)stresses the lawn as the ground dries out much faster 2) more opportunity to weeds to take hold(healthy turf chokes out weeds) 3)encourages thatch buildup 4)clippings, leaves, and other "debris" can't be hidden in shorter turf. All those issues and with the deck all the way down, no matter what the design, will act like a plow pilling the leaves in front of the mower.

Rick; Did you ever find a blade for your Steiner. Not sure you are going to find a good used one out there.

However, you might try Nelson Ramer down at Nappanee IN.
He used to be a Steiner dealer and had access to some used Steiner Equipment sometimes. His phone 574-831-6855 and tell him Neal gave you his name. He may no longer be a dealer in lawn & garden equipment. Have not talked with him for quite a few years since I have not be involved with Steiner Turf Equipment or it's succeeding owners

If he doesn't have anything you may want to go on line and see if there are any other dealers within reasonable distance. Just enter www.SteinerTurf.com and you will be at the current owners website. (Schiller Grounds Care)

The only other option is to watch E-Bay and you may occasionly find something there

I still believe Steiner is one of the best pieces of equipment built. My 1986 is still going strong with over 3,000 hours on the engine with only 1 overhaul and I bought it used.

Best of luck

All my lawn business collections go right into the garden. Grass all summer long. Leaves in the fall and spring to even things out. This layering has made owning a tiller almost a waste of shed space. The only time it comes out is when I want to make the garden bigger or for new bed installs.

Now thats what I'm talking about...Great instuctions. For now, I've only soaked the carb in Sea Foam. I guess its a good start and won't hurt anything. I will take the carb off and follow your instructions soon as I can. Thanks for the "step/step"! Even I can follow these!

To me there are a few other things to consider between a tractor and 12 foot cutter or a ZTR than just the purchase price.
Will the weight of the tractor be any issue as to ruts? Does storage of the cutter or ZTR work best for you? Do you have any other areas to cut and if so which would work best for that or you buying only for this field? How about transportation if needed or for service or repairs? Will all the extra wheels on the tractor and cutter be any issue on the grass? One I have no idea on is turning the tractor with the size mower does it have any issue with skidding and tearing turf?

I have a Bushog Brand RFM and Bushog ZTR mower. The RFM is 20 wider than the ZTR and in my 2 1/2 acre lawn which has about 30 trees and shrubs along with house and shop I cut it in 30 minutes less with the ZTR than the RFM and by far the ZTR is the better ride than my CUT. I like both and really purchased the ZTR for trim work but after cutting the full lawn with it the RFM has largly been parked unless both my wife and I are cutting together. Now if I had total open space and my tractor had air not sure which I would use.;-)

Murf;
I was on fresh non compacted "gravel", (crushed limestone).
On compacted gravel you are correct, and I wouldn't have needed the pipe rollers, the 4 X 6 skids would have slid fine.

OK, now just to clarify a point. I think "gravel" is a loosely used term to describe most any form of aggregate spread on a road.
Here the loose term "gravel" usually means crushed limestone. But before crushed limestone was so readily available the old timers did use red gravel from gravel pits on the roads here that was a mix of non screened small round pebbles with red soil mixed in. The crushed limestone wa a big improvement because it does interlock as you say to make a more firm road when it rains, the red gravel just went to mush in a rainy spell.

Gutters are a maintenance problem by nature. The closer trees are to your house and the more of them you have the worse it gets.

On my prior home I tried putting a do it yourself shield on. At best it just elongated the time between cleanings, at worst it made the the cleaning process so difficult that I removed them.

IMHO any type of gutter shield is an attempt to make the best of a bad situation, and as such is not going to be a complete home run, hopefully an improvement in lengthening the gutter maintenance interval.

Any gutter company will probably have lots of complaints as well because home owners that buy them, do it as the result of having intense tree problems. Add a little over selling of how good they will be and you have complaints.

I have seen homes in the south where they have overhangs with no gutters, allowing the water to flow off the roof into stone aqueducts around the house. I noticed in northern Vermont many homes don't have gutters but have what looks like a 2 foot slide zone of metal sheeting along the bottom edge of the roof. As icicles become more likely in southern Vermont you have to switch to the dreaded gutter, though it only works if the gutters are clear and not frozen.

Anyway, color me skeptical that any gutter cure product will be fully satisfying.
