I have a Scag Cheetah and the hour meter display is cactus - just shows random lines. Just wondering where the runtime hours are stored, i.e. if I replace the meter will it start at zero? If possible I want to retain the actual runtime hours. Cheers, Peter

Hi, I have recently replaced all three cutter blade spindles on my scag cheetah. I have installed the new spindles and, unfortunately, decided to grease them post installation. My problem is that two of the grease pressure relief valves are not working (stuck I suppose). When I grease the...

Hi, I have a Scag Cheetah which suffered a melted bottom bearing on one of the blade spindles. I've taken the easy way out (I thought) and bought three full spindle assemblies rather the replace the spindle bearings. I've immediately hit a problem with the top collar around the spindle shaft...

I have an 8 year Cheetah 29hp briggs stratton and 52 inch deck and its out of action for a few weeks. In the meantime I'm borrowing a 2 year old John Deere Z930m, 24Hp and 60 " deck. I've noticed the Z930m cuts long thick grass much much easier than the Scag. Just wondering if this is simply a...

Hi, I had smoke coming from under the deck of my Scag Cheetah yesterday and when looked underneath there was blaze around the top of right outside spacer spindle above the blade. Anyone had a similar experience and what was the cause? BTW the Scag is 8 years old. Cheers, Peter

Hi, I have Scag Cheetah with a 27HP B&S Commercial Series engine. Starting with a fully charged battery I can mow for about an hour and then, if I stop and try to restart, my battery doesn't have enough power to restart (starter motor just clicks). I apply booster power from a jump start kit...

Hi, I have a Scag Cheetah with a 29HP Briggs Stratton Professional Series engine. I was cutting grass a couple of weeks ago the engine became rough as. I powered down and towed it back to the workshop. Eventually I had the covers off the motor and noticed an electrical wire to the base of one...

Hi, I have a Scag Cheetah with a Briggs and Stratton engine. When I've been cutting for a few hours and I stop the engine I often find that the battery does not have enough power to crank the engine to restart. I've taken to putting the battery on charge when I finish. I see the amp meter...

Hi, The drive belt on my Cheetah broke the other day and I got to work with the spare I had and it became apparent it was no easy job. So I checked the forum for advice and found quite a bit - all pretty much saying it was easy. It seemed to me that most of the helpful post were written...

Hi, I have a Scag Cheetah and the PTO belt snapped yesterday and I replaced it with an after market spare I had. I started mowing again but after 20 minutes I noticed white smoke coming from under the engine. I stopped mowing and checked the belt - it was not hot or damaged and I could manually...

Hi, I have a 2014 Scag Cheetah which won't even crank. All safety cut outs appear to be ok but, in checking forums, it seemed to me the problem may have been Relay 483013 near the choke control or maybe the Electronic Control 483599. However I've replaced these and the Scag still won't crank...
