Thank you for your response. I will poke around again today.

Thanks for the reply. The link you sent is where I got the attached photo of the wiring diagram. My issue is that I do not know where to connect the current wiring from the mower to the new motor wiring. Is there a chance I might have to rewire the entire mower to accommodate for the new engine?

Hello all, So I own a 80's or 90's lawn boy LT12 riding mower that originally came with a Briggs 12hp engine. That one blew and I came across a 16 horse Kohler Command from a Craftsman rider. ( Engine Model # CV460S) Everything so far has physically fit; the motor fits under the hood and next...

Pretty much every part that I would need is discontinued. Theres a little gasket that goes with the primer that was rotted to pieces that I need. I also think I might need a new float needle that also says that it's discontinued. It looks to be decent shape but I don't know. I'd feel better if...

Model Model number : D451 Serial number : 4095165

T Thank you for the info. I cant seem to find online any kind of rebuild kit that includes new gaskets, etc for it. Any advice?

Hello all, I recently acquired a 60's model lawn boy brick top engine. It's a D451 from a lawn boy loafer. I cleaned out the gas tank and the carburetor and it will start on starting fluid but die after anywhere between 5 and 30ish seconds. I'm struggling to find a rebuild kit for this...

So I bought new springs, still having the same issue. I pulled the clutch and belts out and switched the right side belt over to the left and left side to the right to hopefully find out that the new belt I bought for the right side was the wrong size but it's not. I'm still having the same...

Update: I purged the system more and it seemed to do better. I've never driven this thing in perfect working condition so it's hard to tell what it's supposed to operate like but it is SLOW, at least compared to our commercial grade Ferris that's only a few years old. The right side is close to...

Is there any danger in overfilling other than some coming out of the overflow hose? How much could the oil level possibly drop when purging? The manual said to fill to where the level is 3/4" to 1½" from the top of the fill hole.

Thanks to both of you guys! Ill try that out asap. I had no idea it could take that long. The hydrogear manual is pretty vague with the purging process. Like I said before, the manual says to check the oil and refill as needed when necessary during the purging process. Do you guys have any tips...

Yes I set both sides to the neutral position with the rear on jack stands and slowly pushed forwards and backwards about a dozen times then engaged both sides and repeated before lowering it to the ground.

Hello again to everyone that has been following the thread. Since the last post, I've ordered and installed the new part(s) and put everything back together this evening. I purged it like the hydro manual says to and it's pretty much acting the same as it was before replacing anything. One...

Thanks for the help!

My apologies, I'm new to forums and don't totally know how it all works. I thought that maybe since the subject was getting further and further away from the title of the thread, I wasn't getting notice from more of the right crowd and made one with a new title. Could water contamination cause...
