Does anyone know where I might get attachments for my Lawn Chief riding mower. I bought it used 2 yrs ago and like it a lot, but don't even know if they made attachments. I am most interested in a snow plow attachment or snow blower attachment. Thanks. |

I was given a Lawn Chief model 720J. Was told it constantly drains the battery and just plain didn't work. A new battery and cleaning solved the problem, but now I need either a snow plow for it or a snow blower. My understanding is this is one of the bigger ones. It has a 18hp Briggs and Stratton I/C motor. Works great. Won't be using it for mowing the lawn as I live in the mountains of Colorado. But plenty of other uses. Any help is appreciated. |

I inherited a Lawn Chief model 720J several years ago. I can attest to the battery draining all the time. After cleaning everything and replacing the battery, it still drained down. I now disconnect the battery after every use. I am currently looking for a rear-bagger for it, p/n 230045, but have yet to find anything for it. Have you run across anyone selling parts for the 720J? From my understanding, MTD purchased General Power Equipment awhile back and has ceased making the bagger kit? I was also told that there are two sister models to the Lawn Chief, an Atlas and a Wheeler line, but have been unable to find any parts for these two lines either. Good luck on finding a snow plow or snow blower. I'll let you know if I run across one in my quest for the bagger. |

I too have a 12/39. I seem to have an electrical problem. I cannot get the soleniod to click or power to the starter. I replaced the solenoid but still nothing. I jumped the started from the battery and do not get spark. I've also attempted to bypass the safety switches. Nothing. Any clue. I'm not planning on mowing with this. If I get it running, you can have the switches. |

I also have a Lawn Chief Rider, but mines a 11/36. When I first got I always had a hard time getting it started. The first thing I would do is making sure all the wires are in the right place on the solenoid and tight. Also check the fuse. If that doesn't work unsrew the starter gear cover. If it's jammed turn the fly wheel(either at shaft top of put a screw driveron the gear and turn.If none of theat works try jumping the battery from a car. If that works than you have a bad battery or bad ignition switch. If your ignition switch has three positions and the battery and ignition are good then unplug the lights. The plug is located by the starter, is gray. If you can't find it then unscrew the light cover and take the bulbs out by hand. And if all else fails jump the starter right from the car. I hope this helps. If anyone
has attachments that could be used with a lawn chief or a cheap engine above 11hp let me know. |

Rojo,
I have a manual for the lawn chief 11/36. What do you need?
I need some info you may be able to provide. I snapped the drive axle on the transmission. I have not been able to identify replacement parts because the id tag (which is supposed to be on the case) is lost. Can you provide id from your tranny? I have heard it is a peerless tranny.
Thanks, Pete |

belt slipping, try adjusting the tension on the spring that attaches to the handle for engaging the drive to the mower.
I need a part Number or OEM for the blades on my lawn chief 440 |

I am writing on behalf of Neil Burgan, a sixty-five year old Korean War veteran of the Air Force, living at the Veterans Home of California in Yountville. For the past ten years, Mr. Burgan has taken on the responsibility of maintaining the grounds around his residential hall as well as our Memorial Grove, a four acre park with trees planted to memorialize heroes from past wars. In addition to the countless hours of labor, Mr. Burgan has furnished his own equipment to keep the area manicured and mowed. When acute emphysema jeopardized Mr. Burgan's ability to care for the area, he purchased a riding lawn mower make the task manageable. In addition to mowing, Mr. Burgan also towed a trailer to haul his trimmers and hedgers and other equipment. Just this year, Mr. Burgan was selected as the Home Member of the Quarter for his devotion and care in providing a beautiful setting for so many to enjoy. Recently, we were informed that the riding lawn mower needed repairs that far exceeded the value of the mower. Our grounds crew has resumed responsibility for mowing the area in and around Memorial Grove. Mr. Burgan took on the responsibility for the area some ten years ago because the heavier equipment used by the grounds department damaged the lawn. Memorial Grove is very special place for the 1130 veterans living at our home, and Mr. Burgan decided it deserved more TLC than the grounds crew could provide. At this time, Mr. Burgan cannot afford to purchase another riding lawn mower. We are seeking a donation of a riding lawn mover for Mr. Burgan so he can again resume his labor of love. Please contact me if your company would be in a position to donate either a new or factory reconditioned riding mower. If you have received this letter and would be more appropriately handled by another department or person, please be so kind as to forward it. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Thomas Hansen Member Advocate Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Home of California 100 California Drive Yountville, CA 94599-1413 (707) 944-4522 (707) 944-5005 FAX Tom.Hansen@cdva.ca.gov |

I've got a little more info, It looks like Wheeler Manufacturing made the Lawn Chief tractor ( Wheeler might have been aquired by MTD). Call Quigley's Hardware in Fort Kent, ME (www.quigleystruevalue.com) Or Dixie Sales CO (1 888 998 7298) It seems that Both of these places will have a good selection of Lawn Chief parts Office 2019 windows 7. I hate to say it but there are probabibly no attachments for this mower, GOOD LUCK |

Since you said it's green (pukke green), I'm assuming it's pre 1982, and it should be either a 240 or a 187. If it has a water pump, it is a 240. There should be a tranny dipstick screwed into the top of the tranny to the left of the shifter, and NO leather boot on the shifter.
Either way, Yanmar uses the transmission as the hydraulic res, and it probably has water in there freezing everything up. There is a hyd filter on the tranny also, and that should be available at NAPA. The hyd system on that tractor likes #10 hyd oil, or dextron II.
If you try to move the machine with ice in the tranny, you are in for damage. Best thing you can do is heat the housing, either with a magnetic heater or a torch. Heating from the bottom will work.
There is a brand new Yanmar board over on Tractorbynet, but most yanmar owners don't know the old US Yanmar tractors. There is also a Yanmar Club on Yahoo.
Yanmars are particularly sensitive to changing their hydraulic and fuel filters, so you might want to change both to save headaches, and replace the tranny oil completely. |

Does anyone know where I can get a blade for my Lawn Chief riding mower. It's about 14 years old and it's a great mower, but it needs a new blade and new belt. |

Hi Matt, Thats an easy one! I also have a 14 yr old Lawn Chief tractor,like it so much I'm in the process of rebuilding the engine and mower deck instead of buying a new one.You can go to your local auto parts store with your belts in-hand and they can measure them , no need for factory replacement parts for this or your blades. Yes, even your blades are just off-the-shelf standard lengths and will fit ! If you run a bagger attachment you need to buy the bagger blades that are slightly different design to throw the grass clippings into the bagger or you can get mulcher blades instead of the standards. Note,do not replace just one blade ,buy the set, either the two or four. |
