I save it and use it to start my brush and limbs burn pile fire.

I read this thread and am getting more confused. Any expert info on this engine would be appreciated. I have a 725cc Kohler on my 2008 727T6 Grasshopper that is supposedly 27hp . DISPL (CC) 725 MODEL NO. CH740S SPEC NO. CH740-0096 SERIAL NO. 371990010x BUILD DATE 07/18/2007 IS it...

I have a Kohler 27hp on my 2008 Grasshopper and I always use Mobil 1 10w-30. Haven't had any problems.

I live in central Indiana. As far as gasoline goes, since I began using ethanol free gasoline (E0) in my lawn equipment, I just put it away at the end of the season with gasoline still in the tank. When spring comes, my stuff always starts right up without problem. I connect a "Battery Tender"...

Yes, that crossed my mind this morning. I even have one around here someplace that I've had since the 1970's, but can't find it. I called my Grasshopper dealer and asked his mechanic what he uses to reach the top of the bolts. He said he uses a 9/16" offset wrench, and puts a piece of paper...

Bought s stubby wrench today and it's no good either. A crowfoot wrench won't work either because I need something that comes out to the side and then up. . What I need is an "L" shaped wrench that comes out to the side then up to a handle. I'M SURE somebody makes something that would let me do...

And the fact that it should take specialty tools just to keep a bolt from turning on top so the nut underneath can be tightened screams of an incompetent design. I too had to use some long double curved hemostats to clamp the bolts underneath to prevent them from turning so I could get the nuts...

Just got in from trying that. My lower forearm is bruised to crap trying unsuccessfully to force my arm down in to put the washer and nut on the top of the bolt coming up from underneath. So I sit with 3 of the 4 bolts with lock washers and nuts on them and no way to put a wrench on them at the...

funny your should say that! I was just getting ready to try that. :)

They won't reach in there. I have the nut and lock washer started on three of the four bolts. BUT am finding it impossible to put the fourth bolt on the left front in. I get it started in the hole, and the top hits up against the cooling fin, and it's still at too much of an angle to go all the...

I have 2008? Grasshopper Model 727T6 with a Model CH740S 27hp? Kohler Engine. ALL four of the engine mount nuts fell off from underneath. ALSO, the engine mount bolt that goes under the starter I'm finding impossible to reach to get back in. But it fell out so there must be a way to get it...

Thanks for the reply. I was finally able to get underneath to see that all the bolts are missing a nut, and one bolt is completely missing! I got one bolt out and it's 1 3/4" long. QUESTIONS: - Besides the nut, do you know what washers and types are supposed to be there? - Also, should i also...

I have a 2008? Grasshopper Model 727T6 with a Model CH740S 27hp? Kohler Engine. It seems I've lost at least a couple of the engine mount bolts. I can see where the front left bolt goes, and I can see the right rear bolt still there, bit I can't see where the others go. Also, HOW do I get to the...

YMMV All I know is, back when I used E10 gasoline, I had a lot more carburetor trouble with my lawn equipment when I went to get them going in the spring after sitting all winter with E10 gasoline. I also had trouble with my 2 cycle lawn mower carburetor float needle valve going bad. Since I...

In my Stihl chainsaws, I've used nothing but the gray bottle 2 stroke synthetic oil for many years. AND I mix it with nothing but ethanol free gasoline that I can buy at the pump at a gas station not too far away. It's so good, I can use leftover mix into the next year and it still works great...

Thanks for the info. That sounds like what my goto Grasshopper dealer told me today when I asked. I just wanted to get a second opinion.

I replaced the duckbill on the heavy duty air cleaner on my Grasshopper, as the old one just fell off and got lost. How does this work? What does it do?

I have a front deck 61" Grasshopper 727T6 27hp. I like the front deck because I can get under and around things much better than with a mid deck. This greatly reduces the amount of string trimming I have to do afterward. (I HATE string trimmers) And I don't have to turn the mower in any places...

I have a Grasshopper 3461R front mowing deck on a Model 727T6 machine. I see NOTHING in the " 34 SERIES MOWER DECK MODELS 3452 and 3461" service manual about changing the gear oil in it or what type to use. Is this REALLY a just a "use it til it dies" part as I've read a few places? Surely...

I have a Bush Hog ZT22 that won't start. Mice got into the Kohler 22hp engine and I need to move it to fix it. Is there a way to release the hydraulic drive so it can be more easily rolled into a trailer? The manual mentions NOTHING about how to do this that I can find.

The picture my friend sent me the Rectifier-Regulator looks to be bolted into a metallic surface.

Hi, I have a friend who has a Troy Bilt riding mower 13AP60TP766 Horse (2006). It starts OK, but after running a minute or two, blows the 20 amp fuse. On the flip side, it doesn't blow the fuse if it's just powered up without the engine running. I'm having trouble finding a wiring...

Grasshopper Mower Deck 3461R "Rear Discharge Deck" is side discharge, I'm confused I'm confused. I have a Grasshopper Mower Deck Model 3461R described as a "Rear Discharge Deck". Yet it's side discharge. Does this mean this deck can be converted to rear discharge? IF SO How hard is this to...

Hi, Does anybody know what this noise is? It's a 2008 727T. The noise is coming from where the video is pointing. It doesn't seem normal to me. http://www.rensseltucky.com/2008-727TNoise.mp4
