    frequency to change hydro oil / filter but only average 70 hrs a year? Still yearly?

    I have another question. I have ZT 3400's on my Dixon with an expansion tank. Would it be beneficial to change the filters on schedule, suck the oil out of the tank and replace it with new oil? Does the oil in the tank circulate thru the system? I did the initial change at less than 100 hrs and...

    Breather assembly on FR730V

    Maybe I dreamed it, but I thought I saw on this or another forum that it had been changed. It was a post about oil burning in that engine. Sorry if I am wrong.

    Breather assembly on FR730V

    Kawasaki has updated the crankcase breather on the fr730v engine. I just wondered if anyone knew which year the change was implemented. My engine was built in 2014 or earlier.

    Breather assembly on FR730V

    Does anyone know when the breather assembly was changed over to the updated one? Mine is on one of the last Dixon mowers.

    Thanks for all the posts. Think I will just use the gaskets.

    Valve cover gasket on FR730v

    Can I use RTV on the valve covers rather than gaskets? Will it leave enough clearance?

    Wrong engine, but what about a kawasaki 730v valve cover? Same issue?

    Husqvarna mower key needed

    I only used it once when my grandson hid my keys. Didn't hurt the switch and the screwdriver was small enough to fit in the cup holder.

    Husqvarna mower key needed

    I own one of the last Dixon ztr's made before Husqvarna shut them down. A small flathead screwdriver works fine.

    FR730V Maintenance

    I can understand adjusting the valves at the specified hours. However, how important is it to decarbonize the pistons? I use stabil 360 marine in each tank of fuel and Techron every 2-3 months. If it's not necessary, I'd rather not remove the head.

    Fabricated deck mulching kits

    New owner of a Dixon Ultra 52 SE from Ashdown, AR. I am having fun learning how to drive but already getting comfortable with it. I always mulched with my old Craftsman 42" lawn tractor and would like to with this machine. Does anyone have any experience with the Husqvarna 52" fabricated deck...

    Husky vs Dixon zero turns.

    I have been told that the only difference in the last production Dixons and Huskeys is the color of the machines. Looking at $4-5,000 price range and local dealer says they are the same machines only he can sell Dixon version at a discount since they are going away. I could care less about the...
