Sounds like my old 612 when it had water in the fuel but have no idea why it’s not turning over with a good battery. Maybe as Bert said, fuse or power ground. Let us know what you find out.

Thanks Mark, I was thinking I could do that for the window wipers and as for the lights I don't do snowing blowing at night anyway. In the installation manual I have it mentions a instructions & information sheet A-0165 for wiring assembly and light disconnect. Of course I don't Have such an...

Thanks for your info on how you repaired it. I ran into the same problem and it with your info I repaired it in no time. Thanks again, Mike

Just finished putting on a snow enclosure on my 727. I have the installation instructions but it doesn't show how to wire the windshield wipers and lights. I don't know where to connect them to, Could anyone help please or send a picture of the connection. Thanks, Mike

Totally agree, thanks for your posting. Mike

AMEN, thanks for sharing.

I bought a cab off someone one on Craig's list, it is not the newer ones that are all metal but it has soft sided doors. Of course he didn't have a manual and I can't find any serial numbers or model numbers. I think I can figure out the mounting but how do you connect the wiring for lights and...

The answer is yes, it does fit.

Can anyone tell me if my model 412 snowblower will fit a grasshopper 727K mower. My model 612 bit the dust and I am looking at the 727K and wondering if my snowblower will fit it. Thanks, Mike

I changed the hydrolic fluid but did not change filters, etc. just the fluid and it takes more then 1 quart per side as the manual states. I bought 3 quarts and used about a quarter of the 3 quart to get both sides up to the level necessary. If I would have changed filters it probably would have...

I have a model 612

Realize this is probably a stupid question but this is my first time changing my hydro fluid. My manual calls for 1 quart per reservoir and I have drained one reservoir and and filled it with one quart and it didn't even come up to the sight glass. Does it take more then 1 quart or when it is...

Thank you so much for the reply, I found out believe it or not (and I hope I can explain this clearly enough to be understood) the shield that covers the linkage to the throttle had loosened from age and moved back but bunched up enough to keep it from moving back further so as to just decrease...

Thanks everyone for your replies, I ordered a new belt and found that was my problem and it is running great again. My grasshopper is an old used one and I am learning much about which is why I bought a used one since I never had a zero turn mower before and was impressed with what I saw of...

The belt is extremely loose so I am thinking it is the belt and I cannot find any adjustment for putting more tension on the belt so I am going to buy a belt today if I can get one and will let you know how I make out. I thought about the spring but have no way of knowing is it is stretched or...
