I took the two swing cylinders off of my Kubota L35 backhoe about 4 months ago and did not take pictures (stupidity on my part). Can anyone post a drawing of how the 4 hose go back on? Many thanks to anyone who helps me on this.

I have a Kohler 26hp twin, I put an electric fuel pump on it. The kill wire from the ignition switch came undone while putting fuel pump on. I don't know what it attaches to on the engine. Can someone help me? Thanks

I am having trouble starting my Kubota L35 backhoe. I cleaned fuel filter bowl and bled the lines. Seems it was not turning over fast enough to start. A new battery help it turn over a little faster and tries to start but will not. Can I pull it with another tractor to try to start it? Thanks

I have an older model Kubota L35 tractor that I cleaned filter bowl and I cannot find where to bleed air out of the injector pump. Any help would be appreciated. I should say how to bleed fuel system.

I put on a new canister assembly on Kubota engine, bleed lines, tries to start but will not run. Any body have any thoughts on this. I said this was runny me crazy. Checking into nearest insane asylum pretty soon. Thanks for any help.

I have a 1999 2x4 Gator. I put a new carb. on it It runs a lot better but it has what I call a lifter rattle when I start it and under a load and it will smoke on and off. It's like the older model cars use to do when low octane fuel was put in them. I have heard diesel engines do this. Any help...

My 725D Grasshopper diesel engine keeps getting air in injector system. Fuel filters good. Bled air out of lines. It ran for over 5 minutes then died. Before it ran about 10 to 15 seconds then die. when it ran for 5 minutes I thought it was fixed. Not so. The clear tube that runs to the top of...

My Grasshopper with 25HP diesel engine runs about 30 seconds then dies. A new fuel filter did not help. Does this engine have a fuel pump? Thanks for any answer.

Is a stop solenoid adjustable? It's on a Grasshopper 725 D.

My Kubota diesel stop solenoid doesn't pull lever far enough to kill engine. Is there an adjustment to remedy this? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Update on Craftsman ZTS 7500 with 26 HP Kohler eng. I overhauled engine at 2600 hrs. I haven't used it much but it runs great. It has 2700+ hrs. on it. The trans not working like it should. The left one works ok, the right one works if I don't shove it to far forward. Pushing right lever all the...

I have a Grasshopper 725 D & having trouble with PTO switch that I changed 2 times & is bad again so I wired it to a toggle switch. It does away with some safety switches but I am the only one that uses it. After I did that I tried the PTO a couple times then shut engine off. A while later I...

I have a Kohler 26HP SV735 courage twin I am overhauling. My question is: Does the valve stem, Exhaust or Intake have caps between the valve stem & rocker arm?

Belt slips off pulleys because idler pulley that tightens belt does not line up with engine pulley & I see no adjustment. Belt is in good shape. What do you guys think I need to do? This is a Cub Cadet with a Kohler eng.

Does an 18 HP B&S intek OHV eng. have a cap on each valve stem? Thanks for an answer.

I posted a while back about my ZTS 7500 Craftsman zero turn bucking. I found that the left steering lever dampener went bad & would not hold the steering arm steady causing it to buck. Probably other reasons to cause bucking but this is what caused mine to buck.

I have a Stihl MS 362 chain saw & removed the plug to clean it & check the gap. The manual says .02 inches. This is paper thin or I am reading my feeler gauge wrong. The spark plug looked like is was previously set about .20 inches.

I have a Grasshopper 725D & the blades are made out of hard steel, witch I like. I don't like to use my bench grinder to sharpen the blades, I prefer using a file. I have a large lawn that I seeded twice with lawn fescue the last two years. I sharpen the blades before each mowing, I like a good...

I have a Craftsman ZTS 7500 with 2400+ hrs. on it & one side runs faster than the other. I cannot find any adjustment except where the handles hook onto the rods going to the trans. The oil was changed in trans not long ago & both trans are full. If both steering levers are pushed all the way...

I have a B&S 18 HP Intek & need an overhaul kit or new carb. I cannot find either one, but some look very similar. Carb. is Nikki 697216 G02703. The ones that look similar are 698620, 698787, 790032, 796184 & others. Does anyone know if any of these would work or what will interchange. Thanks...

I have a 18 HP B&S on a riding mower. Fuel got in the crankcase & on top of the piston. I took the solenoid fuel shut-off from the carb. & put a plug where it was. I don't get any fuel in with the oil anymore, but still do on top of the piston. I put a fuel shut-off valve on the fuel line & run...

I have a Kohler 26 HP Twin on a ZTS 7500 zero turn mower that has 2330 hrs. of running time on it. It is all original except the carb. & starter. Uses a little oil but runs well. The trans still going but a makes a noise starting out. I don't mow with it any longer so I took belly off & tow a...

Couple of guys wanted to be updated on my Kohler 26 HP old zero turn that now has 2220 hrs on it. I have been using it a lot. Took mower belly off yrs. ago, only use it to tow. Which includes a trailer, fertilizer spreader, seed spreader & a drag to cover grass seeds. I use it for a lot of other...

My Craftsman ZTS7500 started bucking again. Its full of oil & purged, not as bad as it was but its getting there. Does the Hydro trans have a pump? If it does it may be clogged or worn out. People may wonder why I have so many hrs on it, 2120 now. I use it every day. I trot my English Bull...

I have a Craftsman ZTS7500 that bucks & lurches, almost throws me off the mower. It's several years old & has 2080 hrs on it. I took the belly mower off a few years ago & use it to tow a utility wagon to haul stuff around my 11 acres. It runs very good. It started creeping forward on its own...

I have a Kubota backhoe manual that says I can wash the air filter up yo 6 times and reuse it. Can I do the same on my Grasshopper Kubota engine? What about the filter inside the main filter? Thanks

I posted this a while back with no response. I'll try a different way of explaining what this zero turn does. Cannot find anything in manual because its a sealed trans and suppose to not need maintenance. At low speed I am holding the steering handles steady. The mower bucks. Doesn't do this at...

My old Craftsman ZTS7500 lopes or lunges at low speed under a load. Does OK at full speed. When it first started doing this I found the transmission oil low on both. I refilled them and it seemed to help but started doing the same thing after a while. Trans still full, no leeks. I there an...

I have a Crafesman zero turn mower with over 1700 hrs. It runs really well but started lurching at low speed. The oil was low in both transmissions. I added oil and thought it was fixed but it started lurching again but not as bad. Trans suppose to be maintenance free but after 1700 hrs on an...

I have a 6HP Yardman with a Briggs & Stratton self starting with a push button to start it. I have had this at least 20 years. It does not have a battery or electric starter. This kind of starter was discontinued about 15 years ago. I always take care of my yard equipment. I loaned this to my...

When checking oil on a Kohler 26HP twin do you screw dipstick in or just let it rest on filler tube? My manual says push dipstick all the way down but mine screws down. Thanks

Its me again. After getting the wiring fixed the mower starts and runs better then it did when it was new. It has over 1150 hrs on it. Idles good, revs up good, doesn't back fire any more and runs super. I use it for several things and it is not unusual to run it 5 hrs a day. It was restarting...

"Got er done" It starts with the ignition key and stops and the carb solenoid works, the modules not fried, plenty of spark. Runs like a singer sewing machine. Thanks so very much for all the help. If anyone needs a mower electrical expert let me know. I'm happy and trying to be funny. Thanks...

Some one said the color of the wires are different on wiring diagrams. The kill wire coming off the DSAI module is white and when it goes into the connector its not white coming out going to the ignition switch. Anyway is this the wire that goes to the M terminal on the ignition switch? I think...

Its me again. I think every one who has answered my post knows what a wiring idiot I am. I pulled all the safety switch wires off of the mower, they were all burnt and fused together. As I said I don't use the mower to cut grass, only to pull a small trailer around the property to do odd jobs...

How much compression should a 5hp Honda CX 160 have. Thanks for an answer. Also what does a 8.0 : 1 compression ratio mean?

Looks like the relay next to the solenoid controls the safety switches ( I don't want any safety switches) so I really don't need the relay. Is this right? I wired most of the ignition switch today, all but the magneto. I had to stop to do another job. I will put magneto wire on tomorrow. If...

I took the head off of a 5hp Honda to free up a stuck valve. Valve adjustment is .0015 to .0020. This seems pretty loose to me. Is this correct. Thanks

Still trying to rewire ignition switch on Craftsman ZTS Kohler 26hp twin. The S terminal on the ignition switch goes where on the solenoid? +terminal on battery goes to one side of solenoid with a wire from it going to top terminal of the relay. Other side of solenoid goes to starter, these are...

My shaft going to the deck has a loose cross in the yoke. If it is suppose to have needle bearings in it they are gone. My manual not much help on how to remove it. The mower is a 725D with a 34 series deck, model 3461. Thanks for any help.

I have a Craftsman ZTS 7500 with a Kohler 26 HP engine. The electric motor that raises and lowers the deck burnt up and fused the the wires in the wire harness. I am the only one that uses the mower so I wasn't to interested the rewiring the safety switches. I only wanted to start and stop it...

How would I put a tachometer on my Grasshopper 725D? Thanks for any answer

Is it possible to disconnect one connection from ignition switch to bypass all safety switches.

Hi everyone. The factory setting on my Grasshopper 725DT seems to idle to fast to suit me. It has 498hrs on it and I think idle RPMs went up after it broke in. I don't like this when its cold. Would it hurt anything to slow the idle down and how do you do it? Thanks

Thanks to all who helped me with my Kohler. A new battery and a new starter cured the problem. Thanks again, Cambre

The drive shaft on my 725D has two bearings. I was counting the shaft going to the deck as part of the drive shaft. Grasshopper service people said I may have to take bearing guard off to get to the zert. This was my mistake. I'm sorry if I caused confusion. Cambre

Does pouring baking soda mixed with water (1 cup BS to a gallon of water) after pouring acid water out of battery clean the corrosion off the plates an revive the battery?

I have a crasshoppoer 725D that has a grease zert on the drive shaft about middle way under mower. I bought the thing new and it has 500 hrs on it. The salesman showed me the zerts I needed to keep greased and did not mention this one. I don't recall the owners manual mentioning this zert I'm...

I have a Kohler 26hp twin. This engine has been retired, just like I am. Anyone know if it has a compression release feature and would it be in the valve train and on both sides? It will not crank with mower battery alone and it shows 13 volts. It will crank & start if I set my battery charger...

I have a 26HP kohler command. The battery has 12+ volts. Starter doesn't seem to have power to turn engine over. I first thought it was dragging. Bushings seem ok. Rubber grommet that fits on drive pinion a little chewed up, not much. There was a little a little rubber between drive nut (collar)...
