    08 729G2 Kubota Gas, won't stay running right

Replaced module haven't had a problem since. 2004...

    Engine IGNITION COIL

    Update: Tested distributor ignition for operational signal to coil and got nothing so am replacing entire distributor & plug wires. The electronic ignition pickup itself cost just as much as a new distributor w/ new rotor, cap & ignition components. Added plug wires into the mix as all of the...

    Engine IGNITION COIL

    Ok, thanks guys for responding to my question, I'll make sure I ground the new one. Now the coil I installed was an oil filled automotive coil chromed ( thought chroming was a ground ) where the original coil was OEM, but upon bench testing both coils the ohms matched spec what's up? Is there an...

    Front mount mower gearbox

    No expert here, but I seem to remember that an enclosed gear box w/no weeping hole uses its seals as the pressure relief mechanism. So it could, might be possible to blow oil past the input drive seal if over filled as I have seen on other applications of this design. I've researched the amount...

Bought it for $3200 and have loved it since day one. Just did the service and she runs like a top. If I could afford it I would...

    Gearbox Oil 3461R Grasshopper Deck

    That's great. But I also discovered thru the research I performed on the form about this subject heat was also a major factor. Now prior to changing mine it was very difficult to engage the mower @ any rpm as she would die of until the motor warms up. Now after changing over to Amsoil FSYN. GEAR...
