    So disappointed in my Honda mower

    Honda is the only brand where I recommend all of m customers registering their mowers, even if they bought it 2nd hand. More than once they have gotten an upgrade notice for a free service to do the upgrade. They take customer service very seriously. When a model is about to be superceeded some...

    Old 1440 won’t crank

    So when you bypass the solenoid it cranks & starts. Well the next thing to check would be the solenoid and you do that by jumping the trigger wires If that works then you check the trigger wires for 12V on one side & ground on the other. I will not go through my routine as Rivits has already...

    RZ4219 drive belt replacement (EZT belt)

    ECU (AM141075) failure

    You might just have to bite the bullet & buy the JD manual. It work out a lot cheaper than replacing the ECU every time you mow. One of the control sensors will be a dead short but which one is any ones guess without the technical manual there to guide us.

    PZ60 Hydro Gear Purging using bypass valve

    Nice try but not quite right. Run the engine at the lowest possible speed to purge hydros. Running them full speed froths the oil so it is even harder to get the air out. And don't be afraid to do it multiple times . It is not uncommon for me to put a vacuum pump on an overflow line and still...
