I am not a big fan of the mulch kits. They clog up under the deck really bad. If you do get one you should clean under the deck every time you mow. You need to mow really slow when mulching.

Have never seen one but it sounds like just what you needed. I would call it a niche mower just for the small yards like yours. Congrats on the find enjoy your mower.

Don't care for stripping but do different patterns to keep it from setting up a patterns. To me if you mow the same way every time it leaves tire tracks. Or darker green stripes where the tires run all the time.

Check the valves for lift could have a worn cam.

Nope

Anyone try the heavy duty 10 amp pto switch when the original pto switch blows? People come in the shop and want a new pto switch. They come back a day or two later and say you sold me a bad pto switch it din't run any time and blew. Not the switch but a clutch drawing too many amps. In this...

Oh I'm sorry I should have said the crank case is full of gas. That would have told you the cylinder was as well. There was nothing condecending about my post. It was ment to be just a game if you don't want to play don't. Hammermech had no problem with it.

When we run into one like that we pull them out and lock a pair of vice grips on the lever to old them out . See if that works. Or a ratchet strap will work as well and easier to do .

When you pull the levers wii they lock into the frame?

Low air pressure in one rear tire can cause it.

Hammermech nailed it was hydraulic locked. crank case full of gas and cylinder as well. Hate those Niki carbs parts to fix it within $7.00 of price of new carb.

Needle and seat kit is 398188 not 397188.. I use high pressure air to blow the seat out and if it doesn't come out take a small screw driver and stick down in the seat hole and carefully turn it a little and it will blow out seaiest carb to clean.

Had a customer bring in a mower and said it has a new starter new battery new spark plug and it still won't start. Figure out what was wrong with it. Some people just don't need tools. I will give you a clue it is not electrical. Solenoid is clicking but engine will not turn over.

Post model, spec and serial no, of your engine and the part no. you got.

It is a hydro gear BDP/PG pump and all hydro gear hydros use 20W50 motor oil.

Seals around the crank shaft and any mating surface.

Did you by chance mount the coil upside down?

Air leak?

These old Dixie Choppers never sease to amaze me. Just worked on two that one an '02 model guy spent over $2000.00 on. Another one '04 model spent over $1000.00 on and were happy to get them fixed. They still have some of the orignal idlers on. These are commercial mowers used daily. Have no...

I get a lot of pan gaskets on the Briggs Inteck V Twins and the Kohler Twin Commands. Have a lot of head gaskets on the older Commands. Matter of fact have one in the shop now.They have a tendency to blow out side the cylinder and they whistle at you on start up and shut down. The Kohler...

I robibaly get 4 or 5 a year. but will say they seem to be on the older units. maybe they have help the problem.

Probabaly got a cam where the lobes have slipped on the shaft. They will kick back violenty and not start and you may think it is a compression release but it is not. Briggs single inteck is the sorries engine on the market. It is not is the cam is going to fail but when. Sorry design.They also...

When I do a PDI on a new mower I always Check the top no load speed, idle speed. Along with all the other things I check. Loose Hydro bolts, lug nuts, engine mounting bolts, tire pressure, engine oil, seat bolts and various other things. Good to go and don't come back.

Are you on the seat when this happens?

When I ran my own busuness I used a lot of Sten's parts but where I work now we don't. I found that at that time Sten's Probably had the best after market parts in the industry.

People don't know this but a good tire on your car can loose 2 psi per month. How often do you check your tire pressure.. The smaller mower tires are even worse.

Welcome from the great state of Tn. Great hobbies.

blown head gasket

There is not but one thing that stop magnetism. DISTANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check the voltage at the center wire (charge wire) of the regulator without the engine runing and switch off and then on. See what you get then. I have done this and would read voltage but still not charge. When I find one like this I run a wire from the charge wire terminal of the regulator...

Have you checked the vent hose on the fuel pump module. Is it stopped up or is there fuel in the hose when you pull the hose off. You did not post the Model number off the engine. That would help to be able to look up the engine. You might be ahead of the game to take it to someone that has the...

Just out of curosity what in your oppinion is the best engine made. Mine is the Briggs and Stratton Vanguard. Especialy the big block. And why? They are strong running smoothe and don't give problems. Dixie Chopper uses this engine to replace the Generac engine when they go down. Generac was a...

Cylinder leak down test and compression test may not show either one of these even a crankcase vacuum test will not do it. In my experience with Kohler engines these test rarely do. Due to area they blow. The best indicator of a blown head gasket is the plugs will be black and oily and my use...

A B134 belt is actually 137 inches in length. To get the true lenght of a B belt you have to add 3 inches to it's stated length.

Most all engine manufactures have an oil branded for them. This oil is high zink that helps lubricate the valve trane. Most of them are synthetic blends. I use the Kawasaki 10W40 in my Kohler CV20 and 33 hp Generac. I always reccomend small engine oil it is designed to operate at the higher...

Kawasaki has a 20W50 oil it is the one with the blue top. They reccomend it in hotter climates. I would adjust the valves in the engine if you have not already done it. Kawasaki reccoments adjusting them @ 300 hours. I have seen them pop the heads off the valves if this is not done. To me this...

If you have room for the filter to clear the engine shroud and any hydraulic hoses 49065-0721 and 49065-0724 will work. I use the 49065-0724 on most all the Kawasaki engine besause it is easier to get off and put on.

I own a TBC340 Tanaka Trimmer and if you think yours is powerful at 21 cc this thing is a beast with 32 cc. with 1.8 hp. Have owned it since 2004 and only put 1 spark plug it it and put a choke plate on it. Best trimmer I have ever owned. Will put it up against any trimmer out there.

R U sure U did not pour water in it?

No that is the way a ZTR handles it will always try to run down hill on a hill side all you can do is set the tracking on the level and compensate with the steering levers on the hillside.

Really don't think valve lash would cause one to quit if it starts to begin with.

Diagnose the problem throwing parts at it can get expensive. You need fuel compression and fire at the right time to run. A set of neon spark testers in a situation like this really are helpful. Pretty cheap at Harbor Freight. If you have fire when it dies try giving it a shot of Gumout carb...

This because Gees don't need your lecture when the OP just wanted the part no. of the switch which I supplied. Quit being a parts nazi. The switch fits all the Dixie Choppers with electric pto except the Black Hawks and Eagles with the main display and start pad. Which if that one goes bad...

The Item you selected, "4174684", has been superseded by "679534" Part Number: 679534 Price $57.93 KIT,PTO ADAPTER Available Because I work for a Dixie Chopper dealer and have access to things you don't

https://www.dixiechopper.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/2001-LX-X-XF-XW-XWF-Standard-Manual.pdf That would be a 2000 year model. I have a 2000 X1901 bought it for $300 with a blown engine. Put a CV20 Kohler engine off an old Craftsman and never looked back great little mower.

What engine does it have on it? Is it the original engine? If it is a Kohler you can look at the model serial no. if there and it will tell you when the engine was made. Mowers are usually made that year or the next. What parts do you need?

Some of the older models have it stamped into the frame where the back of the seat rest on the cross bar. There could be a strip of foam backed tape over it. It usually on the right side of the cross bar. But could be on the left side as well. If it is there invert the first two numbers and that...

Spark plugs do not produce spark they put it in the cylinder to fire the compressed air fuel mixture at the right time.

Those clips that are a pain and make the switch hard to get out. You can just take a small screw driver and break the off and the switch comes out much easier. The new switch is not just a push in. The new switch part no. 697534 has a pig tail on it that has to come off by pushing a clip and...

I have done every test to diagnose a blown head gasket on a Kohler engine. Compression test, cylinder leak down test, crank case vacuum test and none of them show it has a blown head gasket. The place where it blows is between the cylinder and the oil return passage. It is usually such a tiny...
