20 hp 42 in. Deck Yard Tractor
I was just mowing along and it started losing power and popping. I shut it off for a few minutes to let it cool off and it will restart with no problems, it’s still not running right and making an occassional popping sound. I have since installed new spark plugs,still same problem. Sometimes it seems as if it is running on one cylinder. My next thinking is that it is probably the ignition coil. Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem ? Any ideas/help will be greatly appreciated because the grass here in KY is growing so fast with all this rain, you can almost hear it growing, Thanks
Experienced gardeners share their insights in answering this question :
Did you check your gas? Generally a loud popping sound indicates water in the fuel. If there is one carb hitting and one not, the one not hitting may be full of water. Drain the carb bowls. Drain the tank. Clean the spark plugs and try it.
How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
Look for a mower with at least 14-16 hp and a wide mowing deck – at least 38 inches – to get your lawn work done quickly. Yards larger than three acres are best handled by a larger zero-turn rider or a garden tractor. Look for models that have at least 18hp engines and mowing decks in the 44-54 inch range.
The CRAFTSMAN® M100 21-in push mower is ideal for smaller yards. It is powered by a reliable 140cc Briggs and Stratton® engine. The 2-in-1 deck allows you to mulch, helping to put nutrients back in the soil for a healthier lawn or side discharge.
Here`s what you need to know. All lawnmower engines are interchangeable. The engine mounting points are standard. So you can easily remove any engine and fit it to another deck.
If you need a heavy-duty mower that can work through tall grass and uneven lawns, you`ll need around 6.0 HP. A yard of 1 to 2 acres should be able to produce 14 to 16 HP. A small engine size of between 18 and 24 HP is required for yards of 3 to 5 acres.
Engine. Walk-mower engines range from 140-cc to 190-cc. Choose a larger engine for tough cutting conditions, such as tall and wet grass, bagging, leaf mulching, or maintenance mowing in which you`re cutting down weeds.
Riding mowers are best suited for yards measuring one acre or larger. A model with a 42-inch cutting deck is great for mowing up to two acres, so if you have more land than that, you`ll want to spring for a 46, 54, 60, or 72-inch cutting deck.
The CRAFTSMAN® T100 front engine riding mower is designed to provide power, durability and ease of use. It`s powered by a reliable 11.5 HP Briggs and Stratton® single-cylinder engine featuring a 36-in.
It has a 140cc Briggs and Stratton engine featuring one-step starting, no priming needed. The 3-in-1 deck allows you to mulch and help put nutrients back in your soil for a healthier lawn, bag for easy clean up or composting.

Can I add an hour meter to my Crafstman 917.289340 lawn tractor with the 22 HP Kohler engine? Found a part #401763 for a different model Craftsman. Will it work?
ANSWER : Yes, you need to find a wire that is hot (12vdc) when the engine is running, tap into this wire and hook to the positive side of the hour meter and the other will be a ground. This will keep track of engine hours only. If you want complete total hours, any hot wire with the switch on will work.
