About P.K. Jones Expertise I can answer most questions about commercial and residential outdoor equipment. I can also help with questions about import atv's, Karts and scooters. I can't help you with generator electrical output however if it's an engine problem, I'm more than happy to help.
I'm in the South, so snowblowers and snowmobiles are outside of my area of knowledge. If it's a question about the engine on a snowblower I can help. But I'm just not familiar with the drive systems for snowblowers.
Experience I own Grand Junction Small Engines and Grandjunctionsmallengines.com, a full service shop and national parts sales site. My shop is an Authorized Repair Center for many brands and we work on equipment from most manufacturers. We are also a dealer and service center for several lines of outdoor sports products such as atv's, utv's and Karts. Personally, I have over 25 years experience working with small engines and outdoor power equipment.
Education/Credentials I've attended many small engine and power equipment factory schools and seminars. I average 100 plus hours annually in update schools and specialized training schools and am current on all brands my shop is authorized to do warranty and factory service on.
Question i think i broke my step fathers mower. i dont know the model type but it is an older craftsman(5-10 yrs old). it will turn on but when i put it in gear(i tried them all)the mower does not go anywhere.everything else works. when i checked the oil it was very low and the belt under the mower appears to be on right. any ideas? sears charges $99 to come look at it do you think it is worth paying to fix or will it cost as much as buying a new one? please any help would be great!
Answer It sounds like it's the belt, but there's no way for me to say what it is or what it will cost without seeing it. It could be a stripped out or broken pulley, broken spring, internal transaxle problem and so on. You might call around to small engine shops in your area before calling Sears. Sears tends to be a little on the high side. At least around here. Thanks, PK.
