A 2012-2014 CC LTX1042KW just went for $500 last month at a local auction. So that would be an example of a 10 year old mower that retailed for around $2000 back then.

I am kind of in the situation were customers will have a cheap mower, and spend a large amount to fix it, because it is cheaper than replacement, but will not spend the initial money to purchase a serviced, repaired mower. Basically they will put $600 into a mower worth $200 if sold, but...

In my 28 years I have seen 3-4 mufflers were the internal baffle broke loose and blocked the outlet

Have you checked valve lift to make sure you don't have a worn lifter. Also something blocking the exhaust causing back pressure.

The problem is the mower is only worth $300. That is the issue. The won't spend the money to purchase a repaired mower. They will purchase the mower cheap and then pay a large sum to repair it after purchase. But you as the seller can't purchase the mower cheap, repair it and then get your...

Looks like the belt guide for the engine pulley.. Should mount just behind the pulley with the U shaped area on both side even with the pto pulley on the crankshaft stack pulley.

Actually what will happen is somebody will buy it off of me for $150 and then turn around and spend $600 to fix it. But if I went ahead and fixed it and tried to sell it for $600 they would only want to give me $150 for the mower.

Have a CC LTX1042 right now that was given to me that was actually in good shape. Ran and mowed when I received it. Just needed a couple belts and idler pulleys, and just general maintenance.. Put about $150 in parts in it to get it running and operating correctly. I will be lucky if I...

Seems like in my area lately. It is Mowers that are worth $200 are selling for $200 and still need $600 worth of work.

At least in my area the backyarders and the stuff at the auctions all have the same issues. For what they are selling at and what it takes to repair them are not cost effective. No money left in profit to flip. Example. JD Z950A sold at auction last month near me. Description was...

The gear in the wheel is showing signs of wear and tooth tip curling. So the drive gear and the sprocket may be getting an offset binding which is destroying the drive gear and somewhat the sprocket.

The 45 may very well be your cause. A leakdown test would be a better indicator were there compression is going. Could be valve or head gasket related on the Intek single.

The kill clip should be sticking out of the epoxy on the side of the coil. It shouldn't be connect to the iron core, otherwise you will have the problem that have now.

I have used them on JD, And Cub cadet, and I am currently waiting on a set for a Troybilt that is suppose to arrive tomorrow. So far I have had good luck with them.

Something to keep in mind is the voltage regulator will have a small parasitic load since it must have both power and a ground to operate. That could be your parasitic load, and would be normal as long as it isn't shorted. Should only pull a few milli-amps.

Possibly this would fit to put on a single blade https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004ZSNJU6?plpRedirect=mhFallback

@Skippydiesel You will be find with using what you have. Just be aware that you will not be able to remove most of the oil in the system unless you disassembly everything and redrain the system.

Looks like there is a small hole directly under the throttle link to the right of the white bushing on the throttle shaft of the carb. If not there, on some carbs they would connect the end of that spring in the same hole as the throttle linkage.

Skippy you will be fine with modern oils. Oil designation are backward compatible, at least for engine oils. Not so much for gear oils in some cases. Also as long as the main unit is full of oil, the reservoir is just an overflow for efficiency loss. Meaning the hydrostat system operates...

piston down 1/4

1/4 inch past dead center on power stroke. Both valves closed. The idea is to bypass the compression release when adjusting the valves. But most people will rotate the flywheel to one valve is open and adjust the other valve.. Rotate the engine to open the opposite valve and then set that...

Lets start with the engine model type and code so we can see what engine you have. At this point we don't know if you have a flat head, OHV, OHC, or some new fangled aerospace valve system.

Lets start with the actual model type and code from the engine. So we know what variation of engine you have. At this stage we are just guessing what ignition and kill system you have.

The springs do iappear to weaken overtime. A new spring may fix things, but the truth is it could be a combination of things causing the issue. Belts can do weird thing, wear on the stack variable pulley groove cause cause issues on how the belt rides in the groove, and then spring tension...

XT2 is just series number that can include several different mowers within that series. So please provide the model and serial number from the tag under the seat.

That is the spring. Also something else to look at. The variable speed pulley grooves can get worn and basically act as a speed limiting factor also due to belt hanging up in the worn areas.

I will almost take bets on the crankshaft in the sump bearing area being no longer round

Lets start with the actual model number of the stand on mower so we are not left guessing when it comes to obtaining parts diagrams to see actually what you have. pei It would be interesting to determine if the bushing in the idler arm is wearing causing the canting, or the idler arm itself is...

MInimum would be a 6x10. The length is a consequence of the width. will need a 6 foot or wider trailer for the deck which a 61 inch deck will be closer to 72 inch with the discharge. My every day trailer that I use at the shop is a 7x14 dual axle with brakes on both axles. If you have...

The tension spring that is associated with the engine to variable pulley would be suspect in not providing enough pull to keep the system working correctly.

The question becomes when the engine shuts down, are you loosing spark, or is something else happening. Will need a spark tester to confirm lose of spark or not. If you are loosing spark then the SAM is suspect. And finding a good ASAM maybe difficult due to being discontinued in 2016. And...

The delete with flywheel retrofit to the MDI ignition is the one recommended by Kohler for the CV25 engines.

Also need to look at the charge pump cover itself. Is it cast iron or aluminum. If aluminum it will need to be replaced with the cast iron charge pump kit due to the aluminum cover warping which is what causes the leak.

Could be the spring that tensions the belt on the transmission pulley could be getting weak, or the belt idler arms or the variable pulley slide is getting hung up and not moving freely.

OP list 2002 in the title which most likely will translate to the CV25 engine with the ASAM. ASAM has been out of production at least 10 years, so finding even a good used one will be difficult, and the DSAM cannot be substituted.

With the MTD variable speed pulley system both belts have to be replaced as a set otherwise things don't sync properly and will lead to problems. Also make sure the variable speed pulley isn't sticking in one position which will also limit your speed.

The SAM and the modules should have a part number on them. That may assist is looking up parts and/or bulletins relative to your engine.

I always said we need to split our elected officials into 2 groups. The group we hang and the group we drown. I would say we should send that group to firing squad, but ammo it too expensive to waste on their worthless souls.

If you are loosing spark after running the engine, I would be replacing the coil since it sounds like it is experiencing heat sink failure. And the model and serial number from the tag would contain the info we need to assist with parts. Generac likes serial numbers for the parts lookups on...

Correct, Those engines don't come with exhaust. But for the 35 HP vanguard horizontal shaft you are basically limited to 3 mufflers The 846246 mid mount oil filter side discharge or the 845741 high mount starter side discharge and the 846154 high mount center discharge. Pick one that...

The serial number of your scag would assist us in looking up the correct version. But from what I am finding it appears Scag is suggesting that you need to use the muffler supplied by Briggs for that engine.

Have had plugs were you could twirl the ceramic in the metal shell. Also the ceramic is porous and since most plugs are slated more toward EFI systems anymore they no longer have a sealant coating. Therefore the ceramic will absorb gas when you flood the engine, and gas is conductive...

Nothing will make you pull more hair out then a champion plug. The only plug that used to list a 25% misfire within acceptable range of operation in their spark plug catalog.

Most likely it is 1/4 inch ID

All appearance come to he has the correct belt. The issue with this style of mower is it uses the deck lift mechanism to also de-tension the deck belt by pulling the deck forward against spring tension to release the belt when the lift lever is moved to the very top position. Some of the...

Generac engine

According to JD that mower uses the 40N877-0001-B1 which uses the 592829 stator and 794360 regulator with the 5/9 amp regulated system Make sure you are getting battery voltage to the wire that connects to the tractor harness side of the regulator and make sure the ground wire for the regulator...

Not unusual for hydraulic oil to be 100 degrees above ambient air temperature. And with a hydrostat system they are not continuous flow from pump to cooler to tank. Depending on efficiency of the system most of the oil gets return between the pump and wheel motor multiple times before...

Some starters are available depending on the actual 41 model number. Some of those trimmers with multiple brand names were subject to the starter housing warping causing the recoil pulley to bind.

Haven't seen it on that engine but have seen issues with the bottom bearing on the Briggs twin OHV inteks wearing funny allowing oil to leak when the crankshaft is shifted to the side.
