John Deere TRS26 or Simplicity 860SE?

After our record snowfall last winter I'm looking for an 8hp upgrade to my 5hp Ariens. I placed a wanted ad on CL and got a couple options; a John Deere TRS26 and a Simplicity 860SE. I know this is a loaded question, but which is the better machine? Also, what's a reasonable price for each? I've never had anything other than my Ariens which has been uber-reliable so I'm exploring new territory here. Thanks for the input! |

Re: Ariens ST524 Over rev when using electric start

That makes sense, especially since I've never used a fuel stabilizer and it was the first start of the season. Normally I run the fuel out of the system but if I remember right, I just shut it off that year.Thanks for the help!

Ariens ST524 Over rev when using electric start

A couple years ago when starting our Ariens ST524 for the season's first snow fall, I had a heck of a time trying to get it to run with the electric start (which never happens). When it finally did start, the engine raced at several hundred rpm higher than normal. It was turning so fast I thought for sure it was going to blow up. The throttle control had no effect but luckily the key did. I let it sit for a while as the foam dissapated from the oil and then proceeded to pull-start it. It ran fine and I've been afraid to use the electric start ever since. What would have caused the over-revving with the electric start? Thanks! |
