Michael, read the post below by biggertv-- use a few oz of ATF! cheap, simple to try-- not much downside.

INTERESTING! I wonder if the ATF partially softens and swells the leaking pore. Expansion inside swells it shut maybe?!

I would go as high as 50 psi.

It appears that for over a week you have yet to fix this and had a LOT of comments; I read only page one and six. . . I would do this: -- jack up the air pressure to as much as you dare, at least 50 psi and do this: * After deflating. . . don't even bother testing it, just replace the valve...

Excellent job of helping this guy. Good man!

Perfect!

Heck, at the least take an image of the belt threadup and show it to a tech (one who has a brain) at the JD shop to double check both the threadup and the presence of the idler pulley spring etc; have the parts guy recommended the exact model # and it's length; and while there ask him to define...

Exactly(!) what I was thinking after reading the OP post on page one of 4. I jumped here to the end of four dang pages and find that, after all this posting, John posted the most likely answer! You got MY vote!

Good to know. We need more input like this. Most folks have input that is opinions and info that confuses one variable with another-- They use BOTH Fuel stabilizer AND non-ethanol grade fuel. Do you use stabilizer after things turn cold and you expect to have gas sitting around longer than a...

Good suggestion to the OP'ers question; for me, I will USE this guidance from now on with caveats: -- after September when mixing 2 cycle gas, remember to put in stabilizer -- after September only refill ONE of the gas cans(not both) to force me to use it up faster! The whole problem centers...

I simply jumpered my seat switch, cost me "nothing" on my older 445. However, attempting to do the same with my NEW X740 found it will not start with a simple jumper. Probably requires a special resistance to pass the test to start. . . hmmm. any ideas folks?

The real reason why. . . Notice your blade is NOT symmetric. It is bent in and towards the grass at the 3" long cutting edges and squared off on the "backside"-- at a different angle to the axis of the blade. This difference makes its weight different from one side(across the 2" face) to the...

back in the 60's my brother forgot to tighten the lug nuts on a customer's car. . . tire rolled off the vehicle while owner was driving down main street in our little town. My Dad owned a tire and battery shop! ooooh. probably not too good for busines. However, he died a millionaire!

HEY! thanks, smart advice and yet, I NEVER really realized that.
