Thank you for your response. I will poke around again today.

Thanks for the reply. The link you sent is where I got the attached photo of the wiring diagram. My issue is that I do not know where to connect the current wiring from the mower to the new motor wiring. Is there a chance I might have to rewire the entire mower to accommodate for the new engine?

Hello all, So I own a 80's or 90's lawn boy LT12 riding mower that originally came with a Briggs 12hp engine. That one blew and I came across a 16 horse Kohler Command from a Craftsman rider. ( Engine Model # CV460S) Everything so far has physically fit; the motor fits under the hood and next...

Pretty much every part that I would need is discontinued. Theres a little gasket that goes with the primer that was rotted to pieces that I need. I also think I might need a new float needle that also says that it's discontinued. It looks to be decent shape but I don't know. I'd feel better if...

Model Model number : D451 Serial number : 4095165

T Thank you for the info. I cant seem to find online any kind of rebuild kit that includes new gaskets, etc for it. Any advice?

Hello all, I recently acquired a 60's model lawn boy brick top engine. It's a D451 from a lawn boy loafer. I cleaned out the gas tank and the carburetor and it will start on starting fluid but die after anywhere between 5 and 30ish seconds. I'm struggling to find a rebuild kit for this...

So I bought new springs, still having the same issue. I pulled the clutch and belts out and switched the right side belt over to the left and left side to the right to hopefully find out that the new belt I bought for the right side was the wrong size but it's not. I'm still having the same...

Update: I purged the system more and it seemed to do better. I've never driven this thing in perfect working condition so it's hard to tell what it's supposed to operate like but it is SLOW, at least compared to our commercial grade Ferris that's only a few years old. The right side is close to...

Is there any danger in overfilling other than some coming out of the overflow hose? How much could the oil level possibly drop when purging? The manual said to fill to where the level is 3/4" to 1½" from the top of the fill hole.

Thanks to both of you guys! Ill try that out asap. I had no idea it could take that long. The hydrogear manual is pretty vague with the purging process. Like I said before, the manual says to check the oil and refill as needed when necessary during the purging process. Do you guys have any tips...

Yes I set both sides to the neutral position with the rear on jack stands and slowly pushed forwards and backwards about a dozen times then engaged both sides and repeated before lowering it to the ground.

Hello again to everyone that has been following the thread. Since the last post, I've ordered and installed the new part(s) and put everything back together this evening. I purged it like the hydro manual says to and it's pretty much acting the same as it was before replacing anything. One...

Thanks for the help!

My apologies, I'm new to forums and don't totally know how it all works. I thought that maybe since the subject was getting further and further away from the title of the thread, I wasn't getting notice from more of the right crowd and made one with a new title. Could water contamination cause...

I bought a Lawn Boy hlx z340 about a month ago. (Model No. 81245 Serial No. 250000549) Before that, it had sat for over a year due to the right side hydro being weak. Since buying it, I've tuned up the engine and got it running again, bought a new belt for the right side hydro hoping it was...

So I finally cracked open the bad hydro assuming/ hoping the center section would be shot and the fix would be a simple part swap but it looks to be in good shape. Everything passed the fingernail test, nothing really caught my nail. Now you can see circular marks on both ends of the section...

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy internal hydro parts such as the center section? I haven't taken the transaxle apart yet but I'm trying to get most of my ducks in a row before I embark on this project.

The guy I bought it from was an older gentleman who has had it since new. He kept all the manuals, spare key, and even came with the original safety training DVD. With that in mind, I think I could rule out the possibility of him purposely or accidentally installing a new, incorrect part. There...

The model number is 81245 and serial number is 250000549. The belt seemed visibly looser than the left side so I figured it needed to be replaced. Are you asking if the belt, spring, and tensioner were the right parts or if they were in working order? The belt was from ebay. I don't think the...

Anyone have any advice on what I should do? Am I going to have to crack open the Hydro? If so, what should I be looking for given the symptoms?

I'll have to order another one then. I just bought the mower a week or so ago. The main belt that goes to the cut deck has a few sizable chunks missing but still tight. I know that the first time there's any kind of big load on it while cutting, it'll snap but replacing that is lower on the list...

I have a new belt coming in the mail later this week. Is there a chance that all it needs is a new belt and nothing internally has to be done to the Hydro? The symptoms were that the right side was getting slower and whiner and now the right side just doesn't budge.

Thanks! I'll check it out

So I crawled up under the mower to look around again and I noticed the belt on the right side (side that runs slower, sometimes not at all), has a lot of play in it compared to the left side. Does anyone know if you have to drop the transaxle to change a belt? Could something else be causing the...

Awesome. Thank you. As far as knowing if it's the 2100 or 2200, would I be able to tell by if the fan blades are on top or below the pulley? That seems to be an obvious difference in the manual.

Thank you for the information. I cannot get the service manual link to load. I did find the "current" model numbers that lined up with the numbers I sent. Does this tell me that I have zt2100 or zt2200? If so, would a googled "zt2100 seal kit" work for mine or would it have to be more specific...

The first tag is for the left side hydro and the second if for the right (If the pics post in order.) The pic with the stamped numbers is also on the right side. Not sure if that is helpful or not. Also please excuse the bad pic of the left side with missing #'s. I couldnt wedge my phone up in...

I've been poking around on their website. A lot of parts are discontinued. I guess its hard to find exactly what parts I'll need until i pull the axle and open up the transmissions. What all goes into rebuilding the hydros? Do they make rebuilt kits?

Model Number : 81245 Serial Number : 250000549 Thanks for the reply

I just bought a Lawn Boy 42" z340 hlx zero turn and I'm working on getting it fixed up. It has the Honda GXV530 engine. I've gotten it to fire up and it idles great but has some problems that need to be fixed to be usable. The hydro's make a horrible noise when moving around. The previous owner...
