Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
I took more pictures than I will ever need. I am attaching my favorite one. You will notice something that does not belong. It may have been my hunting issue. Remains of a spider from what I can tell. Intake manifold under the carb.

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
Thank you for your help. All parts are on order. Plus I ordered a new muffler. It fell apart when I took it off. My one peice muffler became a 3 piece muffler. Kawasaki's OEM was only $85 compared to Xmarks at $258 or so. Almost the same muffler but I have lots of space to fit it.

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
Yeah I know what ya mean about mufflers, When I first got my 21HP twin Murray, I put out a wad of bucks to rebuild it, but it's a GREAT runnin machine and very easy to work on, bought a "spare" 24 HP Briggs for $200.00 from a wrecked mower just "in-case" and my 17.5 HP also runs great, the wifey loves that lil red RER I bought too......

You should slap that 17.5 horsepower one in your wife's little mower and send her out to the weeds.:laughing:
