Hi all! I am new to the forum. Glad to be here! I have a max zoom 60 mower with the Kawasaki fr730v engine. The engine suffers from blow by issues and oil leaks due to excessive crankcase pressure. I believe these issues have been exacerbated by poor air filter system design on the fr series engines. (The filter has been serviced very regularly) I will be replacing the engine because this is my backup mower and the transmission and running gear are still in good shape. The fx series has the Donaldson dual layer air filter system which I believe to be far superior. I was wondering if anyone has replaced the fr series with an fx that has the same 1" diameter crankshaft. Any problems with Mount points, other control and wiring issues ect? I realize I could outfit the new fr with the better filter system as well, but the cost seems very comparable in my research. Any information would be helpful. Cheers!
