I needed help with my lawn mower and found answers right away! I have a Ransomes Jaguar 4000 mower with a 72" deck. Great machine. The forum helped because a very kind person collected various manuals and made them available in pdf. I was able to get a part number for the mower deck belt and get it on order.
My mower has the 3-cylinder Mitshubishi diesel engine. We bought the mower as a used machine about 5 years ago. Reliability has been great! But...the engine seems underpowered and this has been getting worse. We have lots of hills and can only go uphill very slowly. We did all the usual: changed all filters, changed fluids, make sure everything turns well. The engine starts well, does not smoke, does not burn oil. But going uphill or in heavy grass, it just dies. We sometimes literally have to stop so it can get to a proper rpm and then move ahead very slowly again. Does anyone know if there is a governor that may need repairs or replacement? I do not have a service manual for the engine.
