I know it has been awhile since my post but I always like to answer those that help me on here. After doing some more research after this response you sent I finally got more information from the man I got the mower from. You were right about the wiring harness not matching up. It seems the...

We took deck back off and checked all three blade spindles and all turned freely and smoothly. Greased all 3 spindles. He replaced 2 of the routing pulleys, and one of them was on the Tension arm. After putting the deck and deck belt back on. we lifted the deck up off the ground high enough to...

Thanks. I am going back over today and go over the whole deck again. maybe we can find something we overlooked.

The belt we took off was only a couple of months old and he bought it from the local Husqvarna dealer here in town. The new belt is also an OEM belt. Part# 532196103/ 587686701. That is why we don't understand what is causing the belt to pop off so much. I am going back over today and see if we...

My neighbor came to me and said he was having a problem with the deck belt coming off the mower. So I helped him remove the deck belt and I noticed that after the belt left the deck it twisted going around the electric clutch pulley but straightened out on the other side. We removed the deck and...

I appreciate the information. Thank you.

Thank you for all your help and the info about the wrong wiring harness. Thanks.

I am not sure what is going on because it is the same part number you sent me in the last post that it should be. Thanks for the info.

Hi. I appreciate the help. Ok, I meant 4 terminal switch. I have the same switch in the picture you sent. Part# 539113792. The Control Arms use a 4 terminal switch as well. Part#532109533/ 539101080. I replaced one of those because of condition but the other one tested good. I am going to try...

Thank you for the information. I removed the wiring harness and checked each wire individually for continuity from the starter switch connector to the PTO connector and from there all the way to the end of each wire at the other connectors in the harness. All wires were good. No breaks anywhere...

I have had several threads on here and in each and every one of them I have never stated or Implied that I am a Certified Small Engine Mechanic or have run a business repairing mowers. So I do not come on here and dismiss advice I get from others like they don't know anything and are stupid. As...

Did you read everything I wrote about the problem I have with the mower? It has a 2 prong safety switch, not 4. Did you read the owners manual? Can you understand and read English? I have looked at the wiring diagram. Have you before you give advise and criticize someone? The brake handle is...

Update: I tried using a jumper wire on the seat switch and no change. I took off the jumper wire and put it back on the seat switch. Now I start the mower and engine runs and idles fine. I released the parking brake and the engine kept running fine but before it would cut the motor off. But...

Thanks for the info. I will check that out.

Thank you for the help. The reason I asked about the Black with White stripe wire that comes out of the harness with all the solenoid wires is because I can start the engine with the key switch. I thought the black/white wire might be some kind of ground wire as i have taken all the safety...

Hi, I recently purchased a 2012 Husqvarna RZ4824F with the Kawasaki FR730V-AS13-R on it. My friend was starting it by jumping the solenoid with a screwdriver. He told me all it needed was a new key switch. I replaced the key switch and nothing. I started checking the wiring harness and noticed...

I haven't had a chance to update until now but there was no Transmision release sticker on this mower for the disconnect levers and every other riding mower I have ever dealt with, you pulled the levers out to disengage the transmission so it could free wheel. After finally finding a manual I...

I checked the wheels. The wheels are bolted to the axle, it does not have axle keys that turn the wheels. They are like car wheels.

OK. Thanks for the idea.

Hey guys, I have acquired a 2014 Toro Timecutter SS4216. Model #74616, Serial # 314000559. It was not running but it had been as i knew who owned it and it had been setting up for a while. After a little clean up the engine fired up and ran. I remembered when we tried to load it my friend said...

HI again. Just wanted to let you know a neighbor has a 2019 Troy-Bilt made by MTD with same size motor as the original in the one I have. We looked up the drive pulley part number and it was the same as the one you gave me. He kindly pulled his off and let me try it on my motor and it fit...

Thank you very much for that information. I will try that pulley and hopefully i can get this thing working again. I really appreciate the help.

I got a craftsman riding mower made by MTD, model (247.288841). It is supposed to have a 19.5 B&S engine in it but instead it has a 17.5 B&S engine in it. Model (313707 0126 E1). I have found several (rigged) items on this mower and have been able to correct them. While checking everything out I...

Thanks for the video. Good info. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the Info. Appreciate it.

I have a 2012 Snapper RZT26520 Zero turn. It has a B&S 26hp (44P777 5167 G5) engine on it. Engine works fine but the PTO seal on bottom of engine went bad and started leaking oil everywhere. I released the belts and removed the center bolt that holds the clutch on. Clutch would not move so i...

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice, makes alot of sense.

Thank you for the advice.

Thank you for the information.

Hey guys, have a question. I am interested in this Dxie Chopper Silver Eagle 50" Zero Turn. It came with a 27 hp V-twin engine and its a 2015 model. Well the engine went bad and the owner replaced it with a Kohler 20hp V-Twin engine. Wouldn't this big of hp difference in the 2 engines effect the...

Thanks I will check this out.

Thanks for the Information, I will check these things.

There is no gas in the oil. Never was. I have had that issue before so i always smell the oil and check fuel level. The oil level never went up, as it would if fuel was going through cylinder into the the sump cover. The oil level would start at just above the halfway point and end up at the add...

Thanks for the info. So why would the oil stop pushing out the muffler when i disconect the breather reed hose from the carb?

Thanks. I will double check that.

Thanks. I just put a NEW Head Gasket in it then I discontected the breather hose from the carb and started it up. It ran good at higher rpms and it stoped pushing oil out of the muffler, but when I idled it down to slow rpms it started acting up and then eventually shut off. I will do some...

I pulled the breather reed tube off the carb and started engine. It ran good at higher rpms and didnt push oil out of the muffler but when I run it at low speed it strated running crappy and finally shut off. I guess I need to check the breather reed chamber and clean everything replace the Reed...

I clean engine before working on it . Everything. as to not get dirt inside of engine while working on it. Once back together i adjusted valves to B&S settings.(manual). I also adjusted valves before working on engine and didn't help the compression. its smoking because of the oil in muffler not...

Thanks for the info. Valve cover does usually have some oil in it when you pull it off but this time i pulled the cover off pulling the top back then the bottom. there was about half the depth of the cover of oil in it. Never seen that much oil in the valve area before and that doesn't include...

I have an older B&S 18.5 ohv engine that had a couple of issues mainly camshft so while i was in there I decided to replace the rings because of low compression. the cylinder wall and piston were not scared up so i honed the cylinder for a few seconds cleaned everything put new rings in, new...

I took the block apart and pulled out the camshaft and found the exhaust lobe was almost completely rounded off. So I am putting in a new camshaft and that should take care of the backfire issues. Thanks

out the carb I believe No smoke. the jets on the v-twin actually sit in the top of the tube and insert down into a grove from the top. Not like the Nikki carbs on the single cylinder engines. I replaced both o-rings on the 2 jets and replaced all the seals and gaskets with new ones. I am going...

I have a B&S 26Hp V-Twin (44R677 0016 G1) that I completely rebuilt with new seals and gaskets, soaked and cleaned out all passages. Engine idles and runs at operating speed fine but when I engage the mower deck it starts to backfire some. Any ideas what would cause this? Going to try a higher...

Thanks I will check into those.

Hi. I have a B&S 18.5 engine (31N707 0301 B1) that will start but backfires real bad. So I took carb off and cleaned it real good then put back on, no change. Adjusted the valves and no change. Cleaned coil contacts, no change. Took Flywheel off and checked the Key. No damage to key. I then took...

Hi, it seems the engine was fine, the problem was that without the adapter on the crankshaft and the operating belt installed it would recoil bad. Once those where installed it didn't recoil badly. Thanks for your help. Sorry for taking so long to get back with you.

Sorry it has taken so long to get back with you. Once I put the adapter on the crankshaft and installed the new belt after checking everything else the motor started and there was no bad recoil. thanks for your help.

Hi. Just found one of the 131.8430 models and would like to know where the best place to find engine parts at. Thanks

Hi, just thought i would let you know i found one here in Georgia. Came across this thread doing research on it.
