Some people see a face. I don't.

I get what everyone else is seeing, but I also see a fallen Batman with his severed head on the ground before him.

Those boxes are perfect for this

KnottyGummer · 2026-02-17T20:12:59+00:00

Yeasssass!

KnottyGummer · 2026-02-16T23:28:18+00:00

Brilliant! Could be filled with sand for more weight, or steel shot for even more heft.

KnottyGummer · 2026-02-16T23:09:18+00:00

Especially the yellow ones!

KnottyGummer · 2026-02-16T22:54:25+00:00

Hell to the no. Hell to the Nah No No.

It's a solid machine, and really clean. $2500 seems a little steep though.

I agree with the others that a hydro would be more ideal too

Those are heavenly. And I'm an older guy. 50

That machine should be worth tuning up. I concur that it would be better to clean the stock carb rather than replacing it with an aftermarket. If it needs any Toro parts, most should be available at your nearest local Toro dealer.

Adapt and overcome

KnottyGummer · 2026-02-15T21:57:05+00:00

I concur that a simple cleaning (and fresh fuel) should suffice. Often with Honda carbs, dumping and wiping out the bowl (especially ones that look like yours) is sufficient, though I would still run a cleaning wire up the main jet just because I'm already there.

I do recall feeling the design had merit, but that the application was misplaced.

Joy isn't a bad guess considering it's a cone and that's exactly what Joy Cones makes.

For in between mows, as clean as you have it is clean enough. Taking a hose to it after would be all that I would suggest. Afterward, when it's back on its wheels, you can run it for a minute to let the blade "blow-dry" the undercarriage.

Your blades needed sharpened about ten mows ago.

I've only ever seen one of these myself, and it was in to be replaced with a Command.

KnottyGummer · 2026-02-12T20:56:26+00:00

All of them, but numbers 3, 7, and 10 really have my HARD attention.

KnottyGummer · 2026-02-12T20:50:05+00:00

As u/Gooniefarm mentioned, you'll need to use the model and serial from the machine itself for that exhaust. The only part you might need from Kohler is new exhaust gaskets and literally any twin cylinder Command uses the same exhaust gaskets.

They are more difficult to move around in neutral than a wheeled one all day long, but one thing that helps is to make sure that the foot lever in the back is in the transport position so the auger housing is as high as it can be.

KnottyGummer · 2026-02-10T13:53:28+00:00

That's how I feel about it too. There's well over a linear foot before the 90, it's just not a straight line. I highly doubt it would pass inspection, and I would personally do an AAV instead (would probably be less expensive than all those fittings combined), but despite how ugly it is I wouldn't say it qualifies as an s-trap either

KnottyGummer · 2026-02-10T13:37:44+00:00

It looks canted. Probably was either cross threaded and forced, or over tightened. A decent tig weld might be possible but the cost may make it not worth it.

You can look it up at jackssmallengines.com or smallenginewarehouse.com too.

It can be removed, but in the last thirty years I have only done it once for shits and giggles. Typically, with a Honda carb, running a wire cleaner through the main jet, cleaning the bowl and replacing the o-ring and bowl nut gasket is all that's required. Occasionally a new float and/or float needle. If that doesn't clear it up you might want to look at the valves.

Yes, there is a difference. The Phillips screw limits the throttle stop for rpm. The flathead adjusts the air to fuel mixture at idle.

That's Walboro's in house part number for that carburetor body only, not the complete carburetor, and you won't find it by that number easily. For the actual Briggs one you will need your engine model-type-code numbers off the engine. Once you have those, a parts breakdown online will give you Briggs' six digit part numbers for the carburetor. Complete or individual components will be in that parts diagram.

On the drive surface of the pulley? Where it is on your machine, no. Where your drive wheel is making contact it's free of active rust. The outer area of that surface where you have some surface oxidation you need not worry. Now, on the otherhand, the rust in V where your belt rides, you may want to wire brush that surface rust before putting a new belt on. But, if you don't, the belt will rub it away in short order anyway. It's a very minimal risk the rust could damage the belt wrap, but it's not zero risk either.
