if it's a craftsman, liftmaster, or chamberlain (all made by the same company with the same parts), it probably has stripped gears. as said before, they are plastic and strip out easily. the gear replacement kit is available at most garage door companies or on-line if ya want to go that way. open the outer case, if you see white powder laying in the case, that is your problem. if it's another brand, open the case, some brands have interior belts, easily replaced....(Answered by handsinpants2)

7hp vertical shaft Briggs, rocker arm just hanging , can not adjust to hold against push rod , why? Went to start lawn mower and would not start and I could hear a pop. Pulled valve cover and rocker arm just hanging, with adjusting nut all the way down it will not put pressure on push rod. I have not torn it down yet. If I hold the rocker in position, and rotate engine, I can feel the lobe on the cam. Does this engine have a standard type of lifter? Since I can feel the cam, I thought maybe a bad lifter may be the problem. ... (Asked by jake-jake@sbcglobal.net)

Wow. Interesting. An open mine shaft? There's no way to fill it. An enginered solution is probably needed. I'd think it would consist of some sort of a plug, with a drain to the outside of your foundation to prevent pressure buidup in the shaft below the plug. I don't see any way for it to be a DIY project. I'd love to meet you at the Depot for lunch sometime and talk about how it turns out! (Best prime rib sandwich in Butte County!)

Is it dangerous to fix a power lawn mower by straightening a bent shaft? It's a push mower with a Tecumseh engine and the crank shaft seems to be OK. It's the part of the shaft that extends from the bottom of the engine (the blade is bolted to it) that's bent. I've been able to straighten it quite a bit, but I've heard that it might be dangerous to use the mower once that shaft has been bent. Safe or unsafe? Any advice appreciated! ... (Asked by L. W)

why is a maintainance shaft in an apt building referred to as a "chase"? ... (Asked by mary c)
View Entire Question \| Report Abuse \| Similar Questions \| See it in Y!
A.
Well it's not really a maintenance shaft so to speak. Although by national code it must be accessible for repairs. It is a "chase" because it provides a means for AC ducts, plumbing pipes, electrical conduits, etc... to travel from floor to floor without being very obvious or obtrusive. Chase is just kind of a trade slang, you know like chase-way....(Answered by Matt M)
