Equipment Focus | Mower Parts, Attachments & Accessories B3C's Mechanic In A Bottle Winter is the time to store outdoor power equipment such as mowers and weed eaters. But thinking ahead to spring, when pulling equipment out of storage for initial use, Mechanic In A Bottle should be top of mind. This synthetic fuel additive fixes poor- or nonrunning 2-cycle and 4-cycle engines in equipment. It removes all varnish in the fuel system without having to remove the carburetor, removes carbon deposits, removes water, reconditions rubber and plastic components, and revitalizes old fuel. Mechanic In A Bottle rejuvenates the equipment's fuel system so that it starts efficiently and operates in top condition. B3C Fuel Solutions New concentrated formula Briggs & Stratton Advanced Fuel Treatment Briggs & Stratton recently unveiled a new concentrated version of its Advanced Fuel Treatment, protecting any gas engine, including 2-cycle engines that use a blend of oil and gasoline, against the potentially damaging effects of ethanol-blended fuels for up to 3 years. It combines a "triple anti-oxidant" formula with additional ingredients to protect the entire fuel system, fighting the harmful effects of water separation. Corrosion inhibitors form a protective barrier on metal parts to prevent rust and corrosion, while detergent ingredients help prevent gum and varnish buildup on engine parts. A metal deactivator works to stop the aggressive chemical reactions caused by dissolved metal ions in the fuel. The net result: extreme protection for small gas engines against fuel-related problems. Briggs & Stratton Corp. ENM's T56 Series LCD vibration-activated hour meter ENM's T56 Series LCD vibration-activated hour meter features 6 digits with an hourglass icon as a running indicator. Thanks to a vibration-activated detection system, this unit operates only when it is introduced to vibrating equipment. This meter can be installed anywhere on equipment with no special wiring connection or power source to operate. The internal lithium battery supplies all the necessary power for the gauge to operate for years of service. The total operating hours are always shown on the LCD display. This ROHS-compliant, compact, tamper-proof meter is 100-percent encapsulated with potting compound, enabling it to operate in even the most extreme conditions. ENM Co. Fuel Medics 2- and 4-cycle Engine Medic Rescue Once there is a problem, we want a solution. Have you ever tried fuel stabilizer to get an engine running? These are supposed be added prior to storage. When that engine does not start or work as it should, what do you do? Fuel Medics has a solution: 2- and 4-cycle Engine Medic Rescue. This kit has a carburetor rescue fuel treatment that breaks down gums, varnishes, moisture and most ethanol side effects, allowing the engine to run again. The kit also contains a second treatment with its unique water dispersion technology to treat any remaining fuel in storage, preventing customers from using contaminated fuel. This "fuel stabilizer on steroids" may be used for preventative maintenance and/or corrective measures. Fuel Medics STA-BIL Ethanol Treatment To protect engines from the harmful effects of increased ethanol in gasoline, STA-BIL Ethanol Treatment prevents corrosion; removes water from fuel injectors; and cleans fuel injectors, carburetors and intake values for better overall engine performance. Recommended for use in mowers at every gasoline fill-up, STA-BIL Ethanol Treatment comes in a range of sizes from 4 to 32 ounces, starting at $4.99. Gold Eagle Co. Grasshopper DuraMax 35 Series rear-discharge deck Distribute clippings evenly, eliminate windrowing, and improve the safety of rear-discharge mowing with DuraMax 35 Series dedicated rear-discharge decks for Grasshopper FrontMount zero-turn mowers. The 35 Series deck channels clippings behind the mower without clumping, windrowing, or spewing debris onto roadways, sidewalks and other landscape features. The flexible reach and full visibility of the out-front mower deck allows trimming on either side while reaching into alcoves and under obstacles, reducing the need for string trimming and debris removal. Additional benefits of 35 Series decks include standard PowerFold electric deck lift for effortless blade access, space-saving storage and transport, and QuikConverter implement capability for year-round productivity. The Grasshopper Co. Husqvarna Crown Cut Blade The Husqvarna Crown Cut Blade is a replacement blade that fits select 22-inch Husqvarna lawn mowers. This 4-in-1 blade delivers mulching, bagging, side-discharge and shredding capability. Husqvarna Professional Products, Inc. John Deere 7Iron Mulch on Demand deck Stamped from 7-gauge steel, the John Deere 7Iron Mulch on Demand deck requires 4 million pounds of force to create. Stamped decks minimize the number of welds and provide a smooth underside, with fewer sharp corners which help distribute impact stress and reduce potential damage if a fixed object is struck. With a 5.5-inch depth, the deck is designed for excellent airflow, so material can be processed quickly and efficiently. An 18-inch-wide discharge chute provides even clipping dispersal. Six anti-scalp wheels are located at all 4 corners and the front center position. Mulch on Demand allows the operator to switch between mulching and side discharging with the simple push or pull of a lever, saving time and money and increasing productivity.
