I have a scag magnum III It went to a shop because the deck tilt cylinder was stuck. The guy said a new cylinder would cost $800 plus labor. I knew better. I removed the cylinder, disassembled it, cleaned it, put it back together in under an hour. Works fine now. So I reinstalled the cylinder...

I just installed a brand new fuel filter and a brand new carb yesterday. I figured it out tho. The electircal plug that goes to the float bowl. I turned it 180º and it started right up and I just mowed a half acre !

Kawasaki FT721V motor. Last season, the motor ran fine. This season it wouldnt start. Changed the plugs and it ran great all day, next time I started it it ran really terrible. I figured the old original carb was just wore out, so I bought a new carb and replaced it and it did the same thing...

yes, but doesnt look like they were ever greased

Ok, so I pulled the deck off again and removed the tensioner plate. Turns out there is nothing wrong with the tensioner pin bushings. They measure about 1.003" just enough clearance for a 1.000" pin. It's the pins that are bad, real bad. The plate has (2) 1" holes , the pins are set in place...

Ok, so I rebuilt the 2 outside spindles. zero slop,shake or up and down play. The bottom of the drive center spindle was beyond repair, so I replaced it with a brand new OEM spindle. Mowed probably 100 square feet and the belt came off again. I am spending more time putting the belt back on...

Yeah, It runs and drives really nice. I take it that the last guy rebuilt the outer spindles as there is no slop in either one of them.

Ok, so instead of ordering the suspension bushings, I'm just machining them myself. Got the first 2 of the 8 machined and installed and back on the deck. no more slop now. Also the 4 bushings on the 2 idler pulleys are also sloppy, so I'll machine 4 of them also and eliminate the ridiculous...

Ok, so a bunch of old hard grease was holding the 2 pulleys on. Got both off, now to rebuild the spindle.........

the bearings in the drive spindle, especially the bearing on the blade end, is shot. I have one of the 6 nuts off. I'll be extra careful removing the nuts. That spindle is anywhere from $200 to $325 plus shipping,How does the 2 pulleys come off the top of the spindle?

Thanks a MILLION. That's what I need. On page 48 part #17 suspension bushing. Should be 8 of there. There are zero on here right now. Page 58 shows the spindle with 2 pulleys. I pulled the bolt,blade spacers, but still cant figure out what is holding the 2 pulleys to the rest of the spindle

Has any one ever removed the double pulley from the spindle on this model? I removed the blade. To my amazement, the blade is only held on the spindle with one long bolt and nut, no key, no teeth, etc.so I need to remove the 6 spindle housing bolts /nuts and the spindle and pulley will come off...

I seem to spend more time looking for the parts diagrams for this mower and working on it. Does anyone have a link to a parts book for this particular model? There are 2 arms, that run from the back side of the deck to the rear end. Stabilizer bars? Im just wondering if the round ends of these...

got it. I never move the deck. I'll check those 2 pulleys for slop.

I'll try that next and see what happens

I am happy to do any thing any one suggests. I just got to get it mowing. My friends Kubota literally can mow circles around this one

I moved the guide to the right side. Tremendous improvement , but the belt still pops off if ya mow at 1/8 mph or do a zero turn

Ok, Thanks y'all. I moved the guide to the right side of the deck. This made a vast improvement, but the belt still pops off if you try to cut at more than about 1/8 mph and also every time you do a zero turn

Will I'll go move it around to the right side and see what happens

I will go check those 4 bushings right now Ok, mine is the smooth belt

The guide is right now on the left side of the mower. is it supposed to be on the right side of the mower?

is the main drive belt supposed to be a smooth V belt or the v belt with teeth?

There are actually 4. one goes from the crank to each hydraulic pump for steering, one from the crank to the deck and one on the deck itself

yeah, it's on there. Is it supposed to pivot, cause when I went to straighten it, I noticed it turns. It was bent down like 20º or more from vertical.

I would like to know the year and make myself. Ive searched and searched with no luck

Would love to hear from anyone with a Snapper 52" Zero Turn like this one. I have been fighting it for hours and hours. The drive belt keeps jumping off. This mower has 3 belts. One that drives the deck from the clutch, one that drives the deck itself and one that drives the hydro pumps. The...
