    Z425 Motor replacement

    My mower stopped running today. When I turn it over there is a very loud double clunk with each rotation of the crank. So, I don't think I'll be taking the time to investigate. It has 800 hours and when I took the shroud off there was a lot of fur packed around the cylinders :(. So, I am sure...

    Not Getting Fuel

    I pulled the plug and reconnected it... When is it activated? Could there be a fuse for it? I have a Volt Meter.... It not easy to get to, but I could check it if I know if there is a sequence for it.

    JD Z425 Zero turn- Smoke and oil coming out of the exhaust

    27HP Briggs So, I jacked up the front of the mower today to check the blades. I noticed there is a hose that comes out of the top of the valve cover (Breather?) and goes into a small roundish plastic puck (pump?) that has other hoses coming out of it... When it was jacked up there was fuel...

    23hp Briggs v-twin 625 hours... Rebuild?

    Just bought a 2006 z425 John Deere 48 inch zero turn mower for $1,500. They have 625 hours on the engine. It's not burning oil or smoking, but I'm thinking that 625 hours is probably getting to the end? So should I wait until it breaks or should I rebuild it? How much would it cost to have...
