Rear side of the transmission toward the top center. Has a plug with 2 wires that is tucked up in the frame on the right side if facing the transmission from rear of mower.

It is the Tim Taylor effect. More power.

In some cases when 1 coil fails the other one is also going out, and in some cases with advance in part supercessions, a new coil can actually overload the old coil, and burn it out.

Spark with the kill wire disconnected proves the coil is fine, and it is not failing. So the issue is someplace between where it connects to the coil and the wiring in the mower. Check to make sure the kill wire hasn't rubbed through some place on the engine metal. If that is good then the...

Pivot bar is the terminalogy that SBD uses for the front axle. Like Stihl uses rope rotor for the starter rope pulley

Don't focus so much on horsepower because unless you are mowing foot tall grass it will never be an issue. Rear engine riders have more weight concentrated over the rear drive tires which can lead to more traction that would be a concern on slopes. The thing to watch is if very steep will be...

With that wire disconnected you cannot shutoff the engine, without grounding that terminal or choking the engine. On some engines the fuel solenoid on the carb will starve the engine of fuel and kill it but may take a few seconds in some cases.

Seems like the deck belt is shaking really bad. Check the V pulleys for something stuck in the groove, or check the deck belt for an area that looks like it has burnt to a narrow area, or a bent pulley. Head gasket failure usually results in oil consumption and smoking out the muffler from...

Could be that gasket but don't overlook the float valve 698537 and be careful and don't drop the jet out of the white plastic emulsion tube. They like to fall out when the white part is turned upside down, and people don't realize it is missing until it floods at full throttle. The...

It will be find to run the deck without blades, But I would start by making sure the motor mount bolts are tight. only takes 1/8 turn loose to allow the motor to wobble on the frame. Normallly occurs when the engine is started, when the engine is shut down, and when the engine is subject to...

A 46" mowing deck will have an overall width closer to 50" even with the discharge chute tucked out of the way.

Soft ratcheting feel to me would mean flat spotted bearings. And it would be easier and cheaper in the long run to replace it while you have the mower tore down.

954-05022A. just correcting the mistyped number in your post

The video shows the top of the tranny through the frame. I want to see the area on the side of the transmission from under the mower. The parts diagram for the timecutter 60 on the Toro website even shows the fill plug on the side of the Hydro-gear transmission. It is item 11 on the parts...

Item #1 in this picture is the service plug using the pump and fitting in this kit to refill the units

The problem isn't the carb the problem is the absolutely junk fuel. Since Briggs came out with this engine in 2015 the biggest issue with this engine not starting is people trying to use fuel that isn't up to the standard. Fuel that will start and run in every other piece of equipment you...

The date code 11042862 uses the 796608 since you are before 11070100

Make sure the bowl vent isn't clogged. If the atmosperic vent for the bowl is clogged will cause siphoning.

According to Briggs dealer distribution the 796608 is still the valid number without being superceded. And the 591137 is also a valid non superceded part number so they do not interchange with each other. What is the model type and code of your Briggs engine so we can determine which carb you...

That is a hydrostat with foot control. Husqvarna, SBD, JD all have that setup available. Just need to look around.

Have you checked to make sure there isn't gas in the float making it sink and not stop fuel flow at the float needle. Floats on occasion leak and fill with gas.

I am surprised that this hasn't been noticed before. This isn't exactly a new mower. I think there was a 3rd party involved. Basically a hired hand was using the mower and notice the oil light on, and the owner didn't pay enough attention to see the change oil display.

Actually the small wire ring is suppose to slip over the fuel line install the fuel filter and then slip the wire ring down over the hose/filter connector to act as a retainer.

The starter will turn backwards and keep the bendix in the down position if the battery connectors are reversed. negative to positive, positive to negative. Sometimes if this happens can also cause other electric issues and damage.

That is how they are supposed to work. The idea is to allow tank venting to remove the vacuum created by fuel leaving the tank, to allow vapor recovery so that it can be burned, and prevent fuel spillage if the mower tips over. Most of the time they never seem to work correctly. I was just...

I wonder who had the bright idea to make the oil pressure warning light on the dash blink when it corresponds with the CHG OIL display on the dash. Customer freaked out when he saw the oil light on, and shut the mower down thinking something was wrong and was worried that the engine could be...

The rollover check valve is a 2 way valve and is only supposed to stop venting when turned upside down. So the non venting fuel cap wasn't suppose to vent. You have a check valve issue not a fuel cap issue.

I agree. It sounds like the rollover vent valve is not working because if this mower has the vapor recovery line connected to the air filter housing then the fuel cap not venting wasn't the issue because the fuel cap wasn't vented to start with. Direct atmospheric vented fuel caps were EPA...

Got the Amazon carb installed, which is not my desired choice, due to quality control in most cases, but anyway the new carb allowed the engine to fire up and run smooth from full throttle down to an idle, which would never idle before, and will even fire back up without the choke applied...

Little behind the times. SBD purchased the other 20% in 2023.

And the MTD name is now being replace with SBD outdoor. Stanley Black and Decker Outdoor.

4.10/3.50x5 is approximately 11 inch in diameter. So maybe narrower than the spec'ed tire but same height.

Front 11x4-5 4 ply rear 18x9.5-8 4 ply

Small limbs can cause the chain to ride up out of the top chain rail also any sideloading of the bar can cause flexing to the point of throwing the chain. And the longer the bar the easier it is to throw the chain. Just some outside thoughts I have personally seen with saws,

Things to looks at would be the steering sector gear, and bushings. The wheel spindles, the tie rods, The front axle and bushings, and in some cases even the frame were the axle bolts into it.

Fuel pump replaced but no change in running. I am going to try to swap the carb when it gets here Monday and see what happens. I did test the pump I took off and it wouldn't hold pressure

The parts diagram is saying it takes a 954-05022A not the 754/954-04118. The 754-04118 is 122.5 inches and the 954-05022 is 108.3. According to parts looks up the 754-04118 is for the 2008ish 46 inch and the 2011 and newer 54 inch decks.

The irony about this entire situation is my nephew owns a stump grinding business.

For me this morning it is going from won't load to the fastest it has been in months.

Oil level was fine. Maybe not at the full mark but within tolerances. Did an oil and filter change along with a new air filter while I had the mower.

The last 3 Kawasaki engines that I tried Champion plugs in wouldn't start hot. I won't touch another Champion if I can avoid them.

It would really help if we had the model, type, and code from the engine so we could see what your engine looks like. A 140cc engine narrows our options down to a few hundred variants.

It also doesn't help when they show illustrations with diagram numbers that are not used.

The only spring for your throttle is the 209B. Your model-type-trim doesn't use a secondary spring like some other versions of engine do. Some have 2 governor springs and others only have in your case the one.

Today Ardisam/Earthquake has announced that they are suspending all service part orders until further notice citing the current tariff environment. So parts sold online and through dealer distributors are limited to stock on hand.

An I I forgot about the sheared flywheel keys on 5 HP horizontal shaft flat head Briggs engines on tillers.

Threaded Stihl piston stop for 10mm spark plug hole

Shipping delayed. Suppose to be here tomorrow. OEM pump.

Your first picture looks like the PTO button is pulled up. So check the pto knob to make sure it is down.

Could be a fuel tank leak but I would be looking very closely to the fuel line and fuel tank grommets at the tank junction. I think that would be more likely the leak area.
