I have a Hustler Fastrac with 17 hp Kohler. For the past several years I have just been jump the mower off as it will not charge the battery. Recently it stopped jumping off when the jumpbox was hooked directly to the battery. From there I went to jumping it off by going directly to the...

I believe I posted this once before and got some help on the issue but I was hoping that there might be somebody new on here that could help with my problem. The machine is a FasTrac 42 with a 17 Hp Kohler. It is going on 11 years old and has been a good machine even with the problem that has...

I am posting this for a friend as he does not have computer access where he is. He has a Yard Machine that the body is apparently broke down. He has access to a Troy-Bilt that is good shape. The trouble comes in with a necessary engine swap as the engine on the Troy was a Kohler and the engine...

I was recently given the above pressure washer. The previous owner said that the pump I leaking in several places. There are no obvious cracks to the pump so I am assuming that it is o rings and seals. Here are the particulars on the machine. Troy Bilt GC 160 with 5.0 hp Honda engine. 2500...

I have a 1995 John Deere LT 150 tractor with a 15 hp. Kohler engine. Last summer the idler pulley on the deck went out and destroyed the belt. I pulled the deck out from under the machine and have since replaced the idler and belt and got it back together. The first time I mowed with it I...

Does anyone have any experience with replacing a governor on a Cub Cadet RZT that has a Kohler 19 hp. engine. Spec. # is SV 590. This is the one that goes through the oil passage cover up into the closure plate. Has a governor shaft, a gear that runs in one of the gears of the engine, two...

I have a Kohler 19 hp. SV 590. I need to re-install the governor on the cover plate. Have already messed one up. Does anyone know of a secret on how to re-install them?

I have a Troy Bilt Bronco with a Kohler SV 590 19 hp. engine that I have been working on. Last week a friend gave me his Cub Cadet RTZ 42 with a Kohler SV530S 17 hp. engine that blew up on him. I am thinking about swapping the engine from the Troy Bilt to the Cub Cadet and then I will have a...

This Troy Bilt was given to me because someone bought the property it was on and they had no use for it. I took it home and tried the motor. I acted like it wanted to start up so I figured it was good to go with a good general cleaning and some minor TLC. I did all that and now it does not...

I am looking for a good source to go to for a mulching kit for my Hustler FastTrak with a 42" deck. Any suggestions?

Have a Craftsman DGS 6500 tractor with a Kohler 26 hp. motor on it. The motor says that is was built for Craftsman. The motor was sitting for some time with gas in the tank and of course the carburetor. The owner says he put fresh gas in the tank at the start of this mowing season but it...

A couple of months ago I posted a few threads for the problem I was having with my 07 Hustler Fastrak with a Kohler Courage 17 hp motor. I replaced the fuel lines and the fuel pump and thought that had fixed it only to find that after about three times mowing with it would not start again...

I recently post about trouble with my Hustler Fastrak not wanting to start. I believe in my last post that I stated that I put a new carburetor on it and it ran fine after that. Well I must have had a senior moment when I made that post because I didn't put a carb on I replaced the fuel pump...

A couple of weeks ago I posted about my 07 Hustler not wanting to start and then when it did it would die like it ran out of gas. I changed out all the fuel lines and put a new fuel pump on it. It ran just fine for about 2and a 1/2 hours twice while I mowed. Yesterday I did all my maintenance...

Earlier posted about my Fastrak running for about 30 min. and then dying. When it would die I would look at the fuel filter and it would be empty. Replaced the fuel pump and it ran for about an hour on two different occasions before doing the same thing. Just replaced all the fuel lines and...
