    18hp Vanguard starter/flywheel ?

    Thanks for the response. I have the original cam that came in the engine. I installed the present cam after I was disappointed with the Vanguards performance & throttle response. I also changed valve springs, pushrods & timing advance. These modifications changed the "personality" of this little...

    18hp Vanguard starter/flywheel ?

    G'mornin!, my 18hp Vanguard regularly strips the nylon starter gear. I've replaced both the starter and the gear NUMEROUS times. The engine is in my '03 EZGO golf cart and it ain't easy to access the starter. The ring gear on the flywheel is aluminum and looks like it is riveted in place...

    old RZT50 deck belt too short?

    Thanks Y'all, greatly appreciated info. Only excuse I can offer is that I was distracted by the young redheaded cowgirl working at Tractor Supply. ... or Maybe just old age. I will check the belt width & length carefully this time. A WAY tight belt probably wasn't much good for new deck parts or...

    old RZT50 deck belt too short?

    HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY !!! I recently rebuilt the deck on my old RZT50. New spindles, blades, idlers, reinforcement doublers on the spindle openings. Bought a new CubCadet brand deck belt & had a terrible time stretching it on. I had to loosen the nuts on the bar in the front to...
