Thanks for showing the detail on how to change the line head. Also, I agree the black gas tank guard is an obstruction to view fuel level.

Great video. Demonstrates how anyone can build a small retaining wall. Thanks,

Thank you for the informative video

Wish he had edited out the whining. Overall worth watching.

I just replaced the crappy OEM one that came on my Ryobi 40v system with the speed feed 400. It is lightyears better that the Ryobi one.

Thanks for this review. 😊

now get rid a that guard and ul be set

Thanks for this ! Love my Timemaster , but it was beginning to struggle pulling the striping kit on any kind of incline. Much appreciated!

Great video

Thanks for the video

Where do you live so I can take you my mower Great video

Awesome video, now you got me thinking 🤔

Hell yeah you chop it cut it mulch it.

Blade Brake Clutch (BBC) Arm Kit KIT-BBC ARM [30" RESIDENTIAL] Model: 133-8158 is that correct?

Thanks for the Vid, Dan. I was hoping it was just the solenoid, but this confirmed my fears. Thanks, I guess. 😅 No, seriously, thanks.

This is so helpful. I have been chopping away at a big pile of similax I took down. Next, I’m going to use the hedge trimmers to make the job faster and easier.

Great video! Thanks for sharing the details to help me out keep mine going in the 5th year of use!!! Love this mower, been a workhorse for me. But, it does need regular maintenance, new belts is a regular big headache...

Perfect, thank you for the help.

Best video on KZfaq for timemaster, by far.. thanks.

I bought my cub cadet 46 inch in 2021 and found out a year later it was a 2020 model 53 hours and nothing but issues with it

It helps a lot

Thank you for your videos

Hope you learned how to properly tension a chain since you put this video out.

You saved me a trip to the repair shop. Have not adjusted it in 2 years. It's like brand new.

I am not allowed to put cuttings of Norweigen blackberries that grow on my small urban lot, into my green recycle can for curbside compost pick up. So I have to dry them out first and then I burn them in my Weber BBQ. It's tricky. I want to get them dry fast so they will burn. I like to lay them over a small backyard table to dry, but I've got a lot more prunings than that. I am back to cutting them manageable lengths and putting them loosely in a trash barrel. Still need more drying space.

Thank you for this video. I know this might sound stupid but I never had a dad show me anything when growing up. He never taught me anything about maintenance when I got my first vehicle, for example. He passed away in 2009 when I was 32. I look to KZfaq now to learn how to understand basic skills of things I should have known growing up. A video like this is so hopeful. I have this exact chainsaw, the Echo CS-400! It’s my first chainsaw I’ve bought and I have no clue on how to do any maintenance on it and how to actually cut wood properly, etc. Thank you so much. You have no idea!!

Just received and uncreated my cub cadet rider. It came without the tools that came in those bags with the owners manuals

Thanks for this video. Now I know how to adjust the drive cable. I was doing the opposite.

The hard part is how do you cut them down?

Your video is very educational. I'm a very handy man and maintenance of my mower myself is definitely the go to. I don't buy warranty in most cases. Thanks for showing the way and how to do it.

This 18hp Duromax engine is only a 439cc engine. I am highly dubious of the 18HP rating. For comparison, the Kohler 429cc is only rated at 14HP. Despite what appears to be an optimistic horsepower rating by Duromax, I just placed an order today for the newly-released Duromax 500cc engine with electric start (model XP20HPE). Duromax claims this 500cc engine has a 20hp rating. It has 22.87 ft-lbs of torque at 2500 rpm. Again, the horsepower rating seems excessively optimistic, but the torque spec seems in line with the 500cc displacement.

you did good, but they will be stuck in the bin and the garbage truck will have a hard time emptying it. Maybe burning it or hauling it to landfill?

Cool video.is there an oil filter? Ive owned a half a dozen turfmasters.im thinking about switching to these.have you used the turfmasters at all?

Excellent review. Thank you!!!

I've owned mine for 5 years now and would not recommend it unless you're very handy and don't mind replacing belts and pulleys whenever the mower hits a rock. If your lawn is level and free of debris then you'll probably be OK. Otherwise I'd avoid the Timemaster. The fuel tank is ridiculously small, so it's definitely not suitable for commercial use.

A big thank you for making this video it help me out so much...

I replaced one of these at the beginning of summer and it failed about three months (or less) later.

🔥

These damn cables break all the time. The sqeaking is fine. The issue is if the cable isnt tensioned enough the belt will slip and the blades wont spin at the right speed. Also if yoy engage it fast like youre doing its much more likely to break the cable

YOU ARE The Life Saver! Especially after reading others comments: Thanks So & please keep vids coming!!

Omg, I have to do this and i just got my nails done. Starter completely frozen. 😢

Thank you - this made all the difference . Now just I need an adjustment to get me up the hill 😂

great video very educational however I am not sure if my cable is the problem are the brake, I could not get the cable arm to pull back at the handle that start the blade to turning. I applied a little Fouse and broke the plastic piece that hole the cable should I replace the brake along with the cable. Any help would be great thanks.

I don’t see why you would not just put the reverse override into operation as soon as you crank it and leave it there when mowing? It’s perfectly fine being left On.

Be careful not to over tighten it because it is attached to the housing of the kill switch, which is thin plastic.

An important note for everyone.... Try to mow DRY grass only, when your can. All manufacturers have some sort of "washout port", which give consumers a false sense of performing proper maintenance, but, all it provides is a nice "wetting" of the remaining grass, there WILL be grass remaining, and then you have provided the best environment for RUST. This water will also hide between deck mounting brackets, bolts, etc. for MORE rust... Oh, the spindle bearings just love water too. ;-(

Some IMPORTANT aspects that could/should have been mentioned.... 1. Checking the oil without FIRST wiping the dipstick is a shortcut that could yield an INACCURATE oil level reading.... With replacement engines costing North of 900-1200 dollars, improper oil level checks are for people with more money than ...... 2. Checking the deck level, side to side, and front to back with the front blade height needing to be ~ 1/4 inch LOWER than the back to have the blades only cut on the "front swing" of the blades. You do not want the deck level or the rear lower as this will result in "double cutting" , making for a POOR cut appearance.... 3. Failing to mention any recommendation of servicing, with an oil change at about 5 hours.... 4. Some locations will not provide an optimal "dry grass" condition in which grass should ONLY be cut.... With your demo cutting, a water wash-down will be necessary and, as is widely known, water is the best friend of rust and spindle bearing failure....

Also, I’m surprised you don’t swap out the gas tank for a bigger one like I see I many other videos.

Absolutely fantastic video. After all the scary videos on these I was hesitant, now I feel more confident. I just wonder why, if you’re cutting that many lawns, you don’t buy the commercial version?

My neighbor got the one you got 3-4 years ago. I finally got a new 23 model love the new styling sharp looking rider. My old cub I found on the side of the road free beat to hell fixed it up didn't really need much it was basically falling apart and used it for 6 years. Still works should sell that thing.
