Looks like there is a 13565-7 and 13565-8 which is the 1987 or 1988 model year of the 40 inch deck. Also there is a 13607-7 which is a 1987 version with 38 inch deck. Picture of the mower and any engine model number information from the engine itself would narrow down the possible years and...

See if this applies. If not then we will need the actual model number starting with 13 to give better assistance

I have seen 2 with the Kohler crack and one that ventilated the rear block due to counterweight link failure. Also have a few in my customer base that are still running with 700-1000 hours.

Hydrogear uses 20w50 from the factory, but also recommends using what ever the mower manufacturer recommends. I have seen mower manufacturers recommend 5w20,10w30,10w40,15w40,20w20,15w50. Hydrostats are a high pressure oil pressure pumping system, they are not married to any special weight...

The diagram also shows the one in the OP picture on another page of the IPL. I suspect that the carb has been replaced at one time. From a low vent style to the high vent style, and I suspect the OP has the low vent air cleaner base with the high vent carb, which don't work well together.

Unfortunately those number are worthless for looking up part. Your first number is a casting number from the carb and is something is may mean something the company that cast the carb. The second number is the EPA number which only is basically a registration number for the EPA to use. The...

First thought was to see about a leakdown test, but then looked up the model number and found it is a 2 stroker. So I am thinking either crankcase or crankshaft seals leaking.

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.
