This is my last post on this subject. I called the dealer again. He's had my cutter for over a month. I told him I was coming to pick it up this afternoon. Then he told me that Ferris had not paid him for the his work and was not going to give me my tractor back until someone paid him. When...

It's been almost a month now since I took my Ferris in for a warranty repair. I called the dealer again yesterday and he surprised me by saying that the Cutter was finished and he was just waiting for Ferris to approve or his work. In other words, my cutter is being held until he gets his...

Got it. When I get it back, I'm going to make up my own schematic. One that works.

Just got an update from the dealer on my machine. It seems that the dealer (Ferris) isn't that familiar with my cutter. They had to call Ferris for technical help. They think it is the key switch. Of course, they don't have one in stock an have to wait until Ferris sends them out. I asked...

I was going to show the link! I was there when I sent it, but now I see it is not. Anyway, it's the second one not the first Ends with "lookup#"

https://www.ferrislawnmowerparts.com/parts-lookup# This link show my unit number diagram. Starter solenoid upper right corner of schematic. Thanks I can use the rest of the pages for parts and part numbers when needed. I'll be study'in this one carefully. Thanks again.

The diagram that I found shows a starter relay. But I couldn't find it. That in turn engages the starter solenoid. I found at least 3 relays. two of them have no markings on them for spade connections You have to go by the color of wires going into the relay. Assuming the colors are...

I have a SCAG mower with Kawasaki 23 hp engine. I've had it for over 30 years now and still going. Personally I don't like Briggs. Kohler seems to be a good engine (I had a 20hp) but either it's running great or the engine is bad. I've had great experiences with the Kawasaki engines. Know...

Thanks Rivets Unit is 5901929 Serial 4002184515 I see that my dealer where I purchased , never gave me the parts book. I got it on line from Farris. Funny , that's where the schematic is found. I wonder if the book that I was suppose to get would have been accurate. It would have been nice to...

I've had a lot of training and experience with electricity, but if you can't find test points or a way to get at a connection, trouble shooting is almost impossible. That is what happen here with harnesses and wires you can't get at. It doesn't help when the manufacture gives you a diagram for...

Yesterday I was going to start up my cutter. Turned the key and every thing went dead. No lights, nothing. I thought that a fuse went for what ever reason. Checked all fuses. Wasn't the problem. I open up the control panel to look inside. For the heck of it, I pulled the connector to the...

You said "that's what I'm using"?? Red or Clear. OUr red diesel is around 3.65 / gallon other wire$4.10 or more for the clear. That lift was worth every penny. Years ago I purchased for my cars. Change Oil save money get rich. Now I don't like crawling under it. But, when I use it, I use...

I purchase the Clear/yellow diesel fuel now. But, I just found a source for red diesel (off road reduced tax) diesel and I am thinking about using it now. The cost is a hell of lot cheaper without the tax. I've read that except for the color ,there is no difference. What are you burning now...

I bought a new IS2600Z last year and I'm running it for the first time now. I had a turf tirger (still have) . Scags dealer wouldn't budge on pricing. So, I went to Ferris Dealer and got a great deal on the Diesel. I think it's going to be harder to do maintenance on the Ferris but for the...

Once more, thanks. Very good information. Ever since I've started talking about replacing my Kawasaki, it's been behaving, no more smoke. Sometimes I think (just kidding) these things have feelings. I know it is still wearing out and will need to be replaced. But, with the info you have...

Beertmobile1, Do you know where or how I can find out what all the letter/numbers that are used after the Main description like FD671D followed by (in this case) AS01. My Owner's manual shows FD671D,FD711D and FD750D for coverage. I can't buy a FD671D but I can buy FD750D. So besides the HP...

Thanks for that information. I will be checking very carefully. I did a lot of research and never came across any of the information that you provided. I even contacted Kawasaki or tried and got nothing. Dealers just told me that the FD661 (I think that is the number) was discontinued due to...

I also own a Turf Tiger with a 23 hp ZTR. Absolutely no problems with this 61 inch cutter in 30 years. I bought the Magnum because it was a 72 inch cutter and it was local. It is the heaviest, largest cutter with a sulky on the back. No power steering. The Kubota Diesel puts everything into...

How did you know that the FD851 would match up with replacing the FD750?

I have a 23 hp Kawasaki on my Turf Tiger it is 30 years old . I am going to want to change engines in the future. My problem is will the replacement Kawasaki fit bolt for bolt. And which engine to purchase. REPOWER (internet) says they have Honda replacement but nothing with a new Kawasaki...

Still have that Magnum? Hope you got you problem fixed. Mine is different. My hydralic system wants to pump the cutter when I change directions. Reducing power helps. and easy on the foot peddle helpls but other wise is will jump and bounce until I take my foot off of the peddel. Fluid is full

I have one of the few Scags Magnum Diesel grass cutters. I have been experiencing a problem that maybe someone might know about . HST works good, but it wants to pump when I change directions. Pump like the whole tractor bounces. I can relieve the problem by cutting back on the RPM's or...

I have a Scags Turf Tiger and it says I should use 10W-30 motor oil for the hydraullic fluid pumps. I've never changed that fluid before and using motor oil for hydraulic pumps makes me a little leary. Comments from anyone who has made this change? Thanks

My two cents. I've owned a Scags Turf Tiger 20 years now. Besides the usual maintenance replacements like belts, pumps, filters, etc.. etc. I have found that nothing comes close to this unit. I bought for around $8,000 then and now they are like $14,000 plus. It's still going strong. I...

I recently obtained a Scag Magnum lll through a swap. Now I'm burdened with how the heck to get to all the filters and fluid changes. This thing is a real beast. I found all the fitting to be greased and now what to change oil, diesel filter and hydraulic fluid with filter. Does anyone have...

Well here was the answer from SCAGS. Back to ground zero. I apologize but those are the only two manuals available. Sincerely, Nate H. Customer Service ScagParts.net 600 Highland Rd E Macedonia, OH 44056 800-937-7279

You bring up a very good point. Thanks I'll give it a try.

Really?

Thanks Illl check it out. At first glance, didn't find the Magnum lll there.

I just bought one of these tanks used. I want to do all maintenance on it to set a starting point. I looked into the compartment and I can see filters and the likes, but how the hell do you get to them. I've seen other threads that said they did it, but how. No maintenance books that I can...

I have a Kawasaki FD791D (DFI) engine on my scags. Everything seemed to be OK, but now the engine is starting to pulsate on me. It's like it is running out of gas and then getting the gas back. Pulses. When it is cold it is better, but after it gets warmed up then it really starts to pulse...

I have a Troy sickle mower with a briggs 4hp engine. I am having trouble keeping the engine running. I can spray starter fluid in the carb and it runs a bit then stops. I can spray again and it starts. When it wants to die I spray the starter fluid again and it keeps running. Once I stop the...
