Please take some time to check out my fun and educational web site! linkb.com This is my White Lawn Mower by MTD (Yard Machines) that I bought ...

What is the difference between "Lawn" "Yard" "Fairway" and "Garden" riding mowers/tractors? While I am asking, do you have an opinion about Briggs & Stratton vs Kohler vs Kawasaki engines in large riding mowers, such as 24hp? I am looking to spend about $2000 - hoping to find a discount due to end-of-season. Thanks in advance!

Lawn Tractors are limited to mowing and pulling utility carts and such items. NOT for Ground Engaging implements such as plows, rototillers cultivators..etc.

Lawn" "Yard" "Fairway" are your basic grass cutters.

The Briggs and Stratton Engines have a long term reputation for quality as does the Kohler. Never had a lot of dealings with the Kawaski but John Deer uses those almost exclusively in their lawn and garden machines.

Garden tractors are heavier built with stronger transmissions or trans axles. Garden tractors can handle tasks from tilling new ground to plowing or blowing snow including mowing.

$2000. 00 will get you a fairly good quality Tractor capable of doing a variety of jobs.

I have a Craftsman garden tractor and it seems to be burning oil awful fast. I don't see any leaks whatsoever. I've been using 10w30 engine oil for the last couple of seasons and lately it's been sputtering even after I have changed the spark plug, fuel filter, and cleaned the air filter.

10w30 and sae 30 are both 4 cycle oils. I use 10w30 in my sears garden tractor because I use it in winter for snow blowing. I've never had an oil problem. Does it smoke?

I have a SupaSwift Garden Compact ride on lawn mower and I would like to find a maintenance manual and part list for it. The mower appears very similar to others selling around the world such as MountField, Stiga & Castelgarden.

Even though there are so many branded variations of the mower I'm finding it difficult to find the actual manufacturer.

Anyway, ideas on finding documentation to maintain and repair the mower would be appreciated.

Keep a watch on eBay. From time to time you can find manuals for just about anything on there. I've known people to buy manuals for things I've never heard of before.

My dad had a great idea for me to do on one of my jobs at a rental to save the lady money.Instead of raking all the leaves and hauling them off just mulch them with the riding lawn mower well it was ankle deep little more actually and I brushed my feet through them picking big limbs and junk up but still missed a stone like a garden rock and lifted the deck up immediately but still now the brake pedal vibrates like crazy even without the blade in gaged. Any suggestions on what it could be. I looked at the blade does not look bent down or anything but still going to change it to see what it does if that don't work what else would you believe would make the brake pedal vibrate like that?
It still cuts grass fine but vibrates like crazy so I stopped using it for now.
I am wondering if a pully could be bent somewhere that would cost less.

It sounds like the shaft on the motor got bent and is causing the blade to turn because it is out of balance. Disconnect the spark plug wire and turn it on it's side and check the motor shaft. You may be looking at a replacement motor. Sorry. It could be the blade so check that first. It's either the blade or shaft.
