Most electric pto clutches has a brake that is supposed to stop the blades from turning after it is disengaged quickly instead of freespinnng to a stop. that brake can have a scrapping sound when turned by hand

There is a number one and number two head. The number 1 is always the cylinder closest to the flywheel. Also If I remember correctly the number 1 or 2 is molded into the head itself. Also the head gaskets will fit either size, but only one head gasket comes in the head gasket kit. So you...

According to Toro the transmission used is a 104-1760 which translates to the hydrogear 310-0510 transaxle. Hydrogear list 79 oz of 20w50 and the fan is not supplied by hydrogear but instead supplied by Toro part number 104-2162

Engine brake only used on push mowers. And the reason for the hard pulling and the same reason for the long spindown is because vacuum shredders have a very heavy impellor. The impellor has to be heavy to both resist the wear and tear of grinding up sticks and leaves but to also create enough...

Quality wide about the same, but the Briggs has some upgraded features that the other two don't I would choose either the Kaw or the Briggs over the Rehlko

The 7000 does not have hydraulic lifters. Still mechanical lifters since it is the newer version of the Courage twin. The only one using the hydraulic lifters are the Command series engines.

One step below

No supercede, but also check your date code because the 590556 is used before 18070100 and the 84002104 used after 18063000, The 84002104 is available

The first and third pictures in your post are for the electric clutch version were you have the manual engagement.

Better than trying to remove Hondabond 4 that is grey at installation but will turn burnt black and crack and start leaking on the 7000 series valve covers within 30 minutes of first start.

If the air bleed passage is clogged it causes a rich run issue not lean. So from the prior OP post that is ran better with the air bleed jet loose confirms it is a fuel passage issue. Loosening the air bleed and causing the engine to run better has always been a test recommended by Tecumseh as...

Connect red wire to battery positive.

The 3rd pulley from the left is find. It is supposed to be mounted on that angle to guide the belt coming off of the spindle pulley back to the engine pulley. The second pulley from left looks like it maybe setting too low which could be a result of wear in the pivot arm and bushing.

Big difference between a GX and the GC/GCV listed in the OP. And as previously said could be a lean run issue that is causing the backfire, or could be a sticky intake valve hanging up momentarily, or could even be something has occurred resulting in a partially sheared flywheel key.
