I have three Dixie Choppers that I mow with and have a suspension seat on one of them a suspension system mounts under the seat that works pretty well When I use the one that doesn't I can really tell it...

Will not ever buy an aftermarket ign module unless the oem is not available. Bought two back to back trying to save money one lasted three days. The other one about three minutes. Cheap Chinese junk.I think the guys that sell these do their own ratings on their junk.

Working on Z425 that the engine is turned sideways. Have to pull the left fender wrap muffler shield left rear wheel to get to the valve cover to adjust valves. Don't like to work on these type mowers. Had one in once that had a bottom seal leaking. I think no problem just pop the PTO clutch...

Does this mower have MIL a light Malfunction Indicator Light. If so, you can read the blink codes to help diagnose the problem.

Clean the inside of the crankcase but most of the metal shavings will be in the oil pan be sure and clean it good.

Yes I would agree. But if it is a lie he is the one who told it to me. I do know it is on an old Dixie Chopper and he mowesd the lawn at Vol State Community college and a 5 Acre lot for Eaton Corporation.

belt tolerance lenght is the stated length plus or minus up to 1 1/2 inch.

I have seen Kohler Command engines go as many as 8,000 and still running. He ran mobile 1 oil in it.

Ben doing it a long time never messed one up yet.

Star Tech has it right block of wood and a good hammer. Put the block of wood on the side of the VC and whack it side ways. You can bend the vc trying to pry it off.

Looks like the front of the deck is too low. engage the blades and check the pitch on the blades font to rear. needs about 1/8 to1/4 inch pitch.

I have one I am having to replace deck spindles belts and all the idlers and PTO clutch. Fixing it up to sell, runs good though. Thought I would adjust the valves while at it. Oh yes not charging, needs stator. What do you think it would bring or am I getting more in it than I can get out of it...

With scoring on the rings piston and cylinder the engine is not creating enough vacuum in the crank case to pull in the proper amount of fuel mix into the crank case to start and run properly. Blow by the scoring is putting pressure into the crankcase.

Have you tried loosening the fuel cap? May be fuel lines collapsing. Trash in fuel tank.

Not a bad idea

an old 031 that thing is old enough to vote been around along time.

you did not specify the engine model type and code no.

Model spec and code Number of engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does the air filter base have a vent hole in it to match the old carb and not in the new carb? If not, it can cause this problem. Looks like an easy fix. drill a hole in AF base to match the new carb.

Unplug the regulator and see if it still does it if not probably the stator.

Just finished this mower. Guy had put on two new ignition modules on. While he was here it started up and ran but I could tell it was not running right. After he left, I started it a few times trying to figure out what the problem was wrong. It would not start checked. It had no spark. He told...

DC makes a kit, so you never have to open the box again. It is a small tank that has a hose going to a fitting you put in the top plate. I put a vent hose on mine so it can push the air out of the box as the oil level drops in the box. If you do this the vent hose has to be higher than the oil...

If you know a good machinist he may be able to cut a key in the shaft and the gear. I run a 75W-180 Gear oil in the T-Box. Was yours dry. DC recommends checking oil in T-Box every 50 hours.

Is this an AWS. I have an AWS for sale

If you have an ACE HARDWARE close by they carry an assortment of washers like that.

Like Wood said check the valve lash

Have done many of these kits in the Big Dog which is a red Hustler. Never had any issues.

As long as it pulls good I would not worry about it and just keep running it. You could take some of the fluid out and add some Lucas Hydraulic oil booster and stop leak at 20%.

Check the starter drive

Hooks to the front of the deck through the bracket in the center front of the deck with the hole in it.

I have one similar to that and a leak down tester as well.

Does the gear box have a lid you can take off if so I would fill it to the top of the shaft with 75w 140 gear oil.

Take cigarette lighter and see if the oil on th dip stick will burn. If it does then you have fuel in the crank case. if it boils water

I have been working on some mowers that blow fuses and bought some auto reset fuses off Amazon. Work great for what I was doing.

Wow I think you should just disassemble the engine. People have different definitions of crank. Crank will the engine turn over when you turn the key to start the engine to try and get it to run. My suggestion, crank the engine over and spray Gum Out carb cleaner on the throat of the carb to see...

did you check the T-Box?

Nice Kit

It is a pleasure to help someone like you. Thanks for the kind word.

As long as the spring is still intact, I have seen some that the intake elbow got out of shape and would not let the choke open back up. try loosening the intake elbow and push up on it and tighten it to see if that helps. If not take it off and trim a little off the inside of the elbow usually...

Some hydro systems do whine I have a Dixie Chopper that does as well. you might try some Lucas hydro booster and stop leak at about 20 to 30 %

Ok deck belt is not back on as long as the motion drive belt is still on and turning the pulley on the bottom of the T-Box what I posted about the T-Box still applies. I guess I assumed you put the deck belt back on. Check the T-Box like I posted. I am trying to tell you what could stop the...

Check the spark. Take an old plug open the gap up to about 1/4-inch install the plug wire to the plug. Ground the body of the plug to the engine and spin it over and see if it has spark to jump the gap. If not up plug the kill wire from the ign modules and try again. When she tried to start it...

Install the kit. The axle mounting brackets bolt to the frame and the brackets are in the kit. You can get them through you Hustler or Big Dog dealer only they will be red.

When you put the engine to deck belt back on there should be no reason for it not to drive unless there is a problem in the T-Box. Have you taken the top off the T-Box and checked the gear oil in the box. I have seen the splines strip in the T-Box and not pull the pumps. Take the top off the...

Is the idler on the inside of the v belt on the left side off the frame. The idler should be 1 inches from the frame. The dump is the 5/8 hex headed bolt head that might have a hole through it. Open 1 1/2 turns to push the mower. To adjust the tension on the belt you loosen the engine mounting...
