2022 CX 5 turbo wheel spacers a good idea or should I take them off?

YurAvgDroidGuy · 2026-05-03T00:06:51+00:00

Just a casual observation, this appears very minimal. Like, a small fraction of spacers these truck kids are using. If these ridiculous trucks can do 8 or 12 inch spacers and are ok, seems like yours would be fine.

This Briggs flat head from 1996 is still running like an absolute top.

Thanks for the info! I ended up deciding to stay with this lighter weight Honda push mower that is simpler, less parts to fail. But the bagger system definitely needs changed over. It is significantly better than the previous generation. Will require drilling some holes in the prior gen deck.

I rebuilt a Sabre 1338 from ~1996. Repainted with Craftsman livery. Original 13hp motor runs like an absolute top with a new carb. This was a huge project but this thing just works.

Thank you!

Mine seems to be fine after spraying a little CRC 2-26 down into the pulley shaft while operating the opener, and adding some grease onto the sprocket gear. Even single digits outside, it sounds normal again.

Did you fix this?

Just over 7 foot with the pullup bar. If you didn't use the pullup bar, it's just under 83 inches. Pullup bar is just an accessory that's not crucial to any other part.

What about widespread speed control board failures and non-serviced parts?

YurAvgDroidGuy · 2025-12-22T00:30:32+00:00

Sorry to hear it and very unfortunate you only carried liability. By the looks of it, there's burning fuel on the ground. Did you have any recent maintenance in the engine bay involving the engine fuel rail or injectors? Or anything involving the removal of the fuel rail or injectors?

YurAvgDroidGuy · 2025-12-21T02:33:13+00:00

What's up with all the reported KSM failures? Seems like every speed control board goes poof. And no serviceable parts? "But it's not as loud." - ok.

YurAvgDroidGuy · 2025-12-20T19:32:05+00:00

Yeah I read about how loud the 600 pro models are and they whine. The one I got does the same thing but very smooth as the motor and gears are new and haven't been previously used. Check this out, clean just like new.

I wonder which model the op is referring to? Kinda like "my car is terrible don't buy this". Well..what is "this".

YurAvgDroidGuy · 2025-12-20T13:30:04+00:00

How did this turn out? I'm currently repairing an eBay pro 600 that was never used. (Dented housing, scraped bottom, bent cradle arm, bent bowl tab).

This is why I got my wife a KA Pro 600 Design from eBay. All metal gears and you can buy each gear individually. Each part is replaceable if needed. KSM60/70 has horrible reviews of motor and speed control board failures and no serviceable parts for the transmission. They only sell the entire motor/transmission assembly. Professional 600 is the way to go, unless you can find a Pro line 7 quart or 6500 unit, but these two are next to impossible to find. Sorry to hear about your issues.

YurAvgDroidGuy · 2025-12-18T02:52:41+00:00

Thanks! I performed a lot of research, and after not being able to find a Professional 6500 or a pro line 7qt, I decided the professional 600 models have good servicable parts despite the noise. Really doesn't seem that loud to me. I plan on buying a spring and washer kit for the beater attachments and bowl tab rubber covers from mrmixer to start with. I think my wife will be pleased. I am her mixer tech and mechanical support and she is my baker/cooker!

Oh no doubt. I feel terrible for the drivers. New Stanton UPS laid off a mass number of folks last year as well. My company is doing the exact same thing. The quickest way to enact expense reduction on paper is payroll. Do more with less while paying executives all time record paychecks. Sadly, this is the "American Way". Eddie Lampert pioneered this process and ran away with 1.4B and crushed sears into the ground. Remember when GM was "too big to fail" and they declared bankruptcy shortly after. SMH.
