Well to be honest I didn't catch it for months. After all how much do you really back up? I back up very little. I was just glad at the time to be able to cut my grass again. Thanks for your help and the video. Going to watch it now. Also this was at least 10 years ago or more I'm guessing...

It could be but I really doubt it. It's been doing that from the beginning when it was new. I replaced the old one that went bad. When you go forward it goes to a certain speed and stays there but when you back up it starts out slow and when you push down on the peddle it speeds up even...

I have a different question about this mower it has a automaticdrive hydrostatic trans in it. I put a new trans in it many years ago and ever since I put it in it will go faster in reverse than it will going forward. I always thought something was in backwards but I put it in just as it came...

Yea that's what is looks like to me also.

Ok now I understand what you were talking about float/end play. Thanks for the video that was very helpful. Thanks

That's what I thought but I learned a long time a go on a motor of any kind it's better to ask just to be sure. Thanks Oh by the way could you get me the pages out of your manual that's tells how they suggest to set up the float on the pan gasket?

I've been doing some reading and I found this interesting. Although the original gasket had a weak spot wear it blows out. If you use some silicone when you put the new gasket on, its unlikely it will ever fail again. But if you just replace it, you should get 15 years out of it. Once the...

Got ya. Are the threads on the mower right hand or left hand? Many thanks

Sorry I just noticed this. So you have to remove the pulley before you pull the motor?

Good morning. Could you send me the pages that cover how they recommend changing the gasket? Also is it better to take off the pulleys before or after you pull the motor? Many thanks for your help with this.

Yes it runs awesome. That's the only reason I'm even thinking about repairing it.

Oh yea I wouldn't go that deep and not change that seal but thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you, That is very helpful.

I will let you know and thanks for offering to help. I want to see if it's worth the trouble. I sure don't want to part it out as it's just to good of a mower.

The end float? So you need to figure how thick of a gasket you might need? I might be wrong, I've been wrong before, but it looks like you can pull the motor intact and turn it upside down take off the pullys and pan and change the gasket. LOL I guess I'm looking at it like a small block chevy...

My next question is, is it a big deal to replace the gasket? Working on a motor is no problem for me but I've never replaced one on a small motor.

Thanks for the reply, Yea I find it odd also. I cleaned it very good and got down with a light with it running and you can watch it run out of the pan. It's an old motor I believe it's from the 90s but it runs great.

Hi I have a Murry with a 17.5 B&S Twin motor that runs awesome but it leaks on the left side of the bottom pan. I cleaned it very good and there is no doubt that's where it's leaking from when running. My question is, is it common? I've looked for hours with no luck. I don't think it's just...

Hi, Thanks for having me. I'm sure I can learn a lot on here.
