Stihl ztr's are built by Ferris a long time mower manufacture in the business.

Manufactures do not reccomend blowing the air filter out with compressed air as you can blow a hole in the paper element. Rendering it useless. Kawasaki does not reccomend oiling the prefilter.

In the shop where I work it is filled to the full mark on the dip stick. Would never do it any other way.

New one on EBay for $20.00

Great job looks good!!!!!

Is the clicking coming from the solenoid. A pto switch can cause a no start but if the solenoid is clicking it is not the problem.

If you are just replacing the valve stem seal why are you taking the heads off? That can be done with the heads still on.

Did you check to see if you bent a spindle. Something had to give to break 2 inches off the end of the blades. Could have bent the deck. Is one of the blades hitting the deck? But that should make a noise. But a bent shaft or a busted bearing might not. From the smart ass that suggested you buy...

Clean the exhaust port and muffler screen.

I think you should buy a new mower then that would solve all your problems. LOL Just Kidding

I don't like the gator style mulching blades they don't do a good job mowing. They do a really good job mulching leave though. Put a set on mine last fall and mulched up my leave and forgot to take them off this spring. Was wondering why my mowed grass didn't look good. Decided I should clean...

You would have to try really hard to damage either with this seal. It has a large outside diameter and small shaft hole lots of area to work with. But do be careful. If it is really hard to get out you can use two screws opposite each other.

I take a sharp pin punch and peirce a hole in it then take a dry wall screw and thread it in the hole. Then take a small claw hammer and pull it out. Good luck. Thanks

B&D as far as I'm concerned for the small 1/4 drive. Also Milwakee for the big stuff 1/2 drive and a 1/4 drive cordless rachet.

They make a Kit to replace all the hydro brackets as well as the brackets that hold the axles on are about three times as thick as the orignal. This is what happens when manufactures go into the big box stores the quality goes south. Check with the dealer on this.

Tiger I don't want rain on your parade I work on these things daily have installed many bottom seals in the T-Box. You do not have to take the T-Box off to put the seal in.

No the snap ring holds the bearing in not the seal. Nothing holds the seal in but the intererence fit in the T-Box. One thing you should look at, make sure it is the seal that is leaking. There is an o ring on each side of the T-Box where the pumps bolt on. Over time the heating cooling and...

No the seal is not made onto the bearing. Yes you can remove the bottom seal with the T-Box still on the mower. The part no is 788099. It is a peerless part. Don't buy it from Dixie Chopper it is $41 and some change. You should be able to get if for less than $20.

If this is a Briggs engine the model type and code no is stamped into the valve cover opposite the the fuel pump. This is what is needed.

You sdid. I couldn't get any sign of a spark, so replaced the coil & spark plug but still no joy. Even removing the kill switch wire doesn't make any difference. Terry. There is no other way to test the ign module. Once you disconnect the kill wire and spin the engine over and check it with a...

You need to learn some manners or maybe you don't know that replaying in all caps is consider shouting. Not a good way to get any help.

Try unplugging the regulator.

Throttle shaft binding or stuck.

Got one in the other day that a guy jump the seat switch with a scotch lock. Said the brake switch was new but not opertaing. He even pulled it out and was holding it out by hand. So the engine would run. Guess what he caused the problem you can't jump the seat switch like that on this mower...
