I just bought a 2000 725K with a 72" deck. Has about 900 hours on it. I have a couple questions because a few things need addressed.

1. The oil fill tube is loose in the block and comes out with the dipstick if you don't hold the tube. Is this a press fit or is there a retainer missing? Nothing jumped out at me that might be missing.

2. The drives are not adjusted evenly and it pulls left with both levers forward. Is this an adjustment issue or a drive issue? Seems like both side have equal power just not speed.

Otherwise the mower runs and mows great, this is by far the largest mower i've ever used and it really cut down on mowing time last night!

1. Normally there is a screw that holds the tube in place at the top of the tube. If not an o-ring hold it at bottom.

2. Download manual and read how to adjust your drive linkage.

My dipstick tube came out also. Nothing holds it in place. Luckily, I have a hand knurle tool. I knurled the end and with some 242 locktite beat it back into the engine case.
