Well, I appreciate all ya'lls help. I popped out the center spring clip thing from the center of the switch connector and bingo, it works. I was totally unaware of the "shorting strip" until I learned on this forum. I thought it was just a regular connector but it's certainly not. I had...

Thanks both B and S for the replies and info. I was unaware of the shorting strip, that explains why jumping it didn't work. It does have the grey switch. I attached a couple of pics. Thanks for the part number for the connector also.

Thanks for the reply. I'll post the tag info tomorrow when I'm back home. I did jump the seat switch with a jumper wire, it's just two prongs. Thanks again.

Ok, I checked the brake switch, blade switch, seat switch and bypassed also and when the brake is released the engine dies. I tried a spare ignition switch just to see and it worked for one start then back to the same thing. This is a 1998 Craftsman 19.5 mower with a two prong seat switch...

Thanks, wow. I'll stay with 20-50 since I'm in Texas and never run them in the winter.

Thanks. I'll stick with the Castrol 20-50 oil. I did put a bit of Lucas oil additive also.

Thanks for the info Rocky. I didn't think about the foaming. My hydro's are working fine, I just changed the oil because I got the mower from a friend and I know he never changed it, it's got a little over 300 hours on it. They came with 20-50 motor oil and that's what I went back with so...

Ok, thank you...

Hello all, I have a mower with two EXT hydro units. I already changed the oil and went with the recommended 20-50 motor oil with success. I know if it ain't broke don't fix it but has anybody out there ever used a 75-90 gear oil in a hydro gear unit? Just curious, thanks.

I had to take out one hydro to replace a fan so I went ahead and pulled the other one and drained and refilled them both. The machine has 340 hours on it, the fluid was nasty but didn't smell bad. I sure wish there was a drain on the bottom.

Oh I know, ha. That's just me.

Thanks. I did see that the other day. Mine is a 2200 EZT, but has the fan/pulley set up like it shows on the 2100 on their site. I changed the oil in both hydro's yesterday and EZT is cast into the side of the case. I attached a pic, hope it shows it.

Ok, I searched for the fan using Eaton, Swisher, Z Max 2560 and found nothing. I'm sure you did too already, I wish I had better news.

Thanks much. That is conclusive enough for me, they have 1" axles. So the double D (DD) would indicate 1" axle. What was most confusing for me is the fact that my pulleys are on top of the fans, on all the pics I see of the ZT-2200 EXT the fans are on top of the pulleys. I guess they can be...

Thanks. I have the model number, it's ZC-AMBB-4DDB-3RPX. Can you tell what series a unit is by the model number?

Thanks, mine has the pulley over the fan. And has 1" axles. I don't know why the model number doesn't simply state whether it's a 2100 or a 2200.

Well, mine has the 1" axles, and the pulley is on top.

Ouch, I hear ya. Don't know what I would do about that. Mine doesn't have a number on the parts list for the fan either but I searched the number on the hydro, does your hydro have a tag on it?

Cool, I'll check that when I get home, thanks.

Both models? I have looked for a long time to figure out which one this one is.

Thank you sir.!

Hey again, I would like to know how to tell the difference between these two trans. On the manual it shows the 2100 to have the fan under the pulley and the 2200 to have the fan above the pulley. But upon further internet searches some trans pics show the fan under the pulley on the 2200 also...

I just got one in today for mine, but it's a different brand. I had to remove the trans which was quite easy, then I got the number off the old fan hub, googled part number and found one for 13.00. I wanted to order part first also but wanted to get the right part. Model number on trans led...

Sounds good, thanks for the tips. Is there a fill line or a plug that you remove and fill til it runs out? I'm at work now and not in the shop.

I also have a 1998 Craftsman hydro that I've never changed fluid in. Now I'm thinking about doing that, it's working fine though.

Wow, I will for sure change both now. I'll research the amount, I believe I saw somewhere they hold 56 oz each or something like that.

Thanks for the reply. I contacted Hydro, they gave me the 72134 number which includes the pulley, nut, washer, etc. 53050 is the fan by itself, I bought two for less than the 72134 "kit". Now I have a spare in case something knocks the blades off again.

Thanks, you know I thought about changing the oil in it, I may do both while I'm at it.

I looked at the old hub and it has 53050 on it, I got one one the way. Thanks...

That's right that Hydrogear doesn't offer the fan separate. I tool the old one off and looked close and the number 53050 was molded into the hub. I searched that number up and found the blade by itself for under 20 bux.

Thank you very much!

My 2008 Troy Built (MTD) does the same thing. I believe it's a safety feature. I would like to disable this.

Hello, this is the first post and I'm not sure if it's in the right place. I'm having a tough time locating a hydro cooling fan for a Troy Built Zero turn mower. I've searched for two hours and can't find anything that is for sure the correct one. Parts diagrams do not show the fan part...

Hello, I have a generator with a 10hp 19G412 1186E1 engine and would like to know if there is an elec. start kit available. I have done internet research with not much help. The flywheel does NOT have the ring gear on it. I've added a start kit for a Honda GX160 on my boys go cart but the kit is...

Hello, my mower is kickin my but and I would like to reach out to see if anybody has an idea. I have a 1998 craftsman 19.5 twin cylinder mower that I've had since new and it's never gave me any trouble except very minor repairs which I expect. The engine is a 42E707-2631E1 with the non...
