Cool, & Congrats on the new machine. Which engine does it have ?

Where is the rattle ? Up by the engine, or down at the spool head ? Call the Dealer & ask to speak to a tech. Tell him the deal. I'd be taking it in just to be sure.

Friend sent me this link: Just when ya thought your mower was expensive, check this rig... 96" wide cut. Wings fold up for transport /cleaning & or servicing. 7500-D Series 96" (244 cm) 37 HP 1642cc Diesel Rear Discharge (72096)...

I was just gonna post to check seat sensor.. Doh..

Thanks Mark- the "assembled in Thailand plugs, have the 1st letter on the hex stamping of the plug, & it will be a "U". These are the 1st I ever got from there, thus my initial concern. And in that 4 digit code tells they were assembled in 2020. So I can sleep again.. LOL

OK, spoke to NGK tech dept. On the Hex of the NGK plugs is a stamping of letters & numbers. (usually only 4 in total) If the 1st letter is a "U" the plug is legit NGK, & assembled in Thailand. Most of those have a plastic cover over the tip, instead of the usual thin cardboard as well. But...

Well I'll say this, no more plugs from anywhere else than O'Reillys. they are always from Japan, & only cost $2.49 ea. Not assembled in Thailand. These were for back up, the BPR4ES.......6578 for my Kawasaki. Guess I'm keeping them..

Yea, seems to be mostly on the iridium plugs. But can't rule out the regular ones, like I use.

Well china is neighbors to Thailand. But there is a big Fake NGK plugs thing going on.. Just a FYI.

This is a 1st for me. Just got my order in, & the Spark Plugs are made in Japan, but assembled in Thailand.. Boxes look slightly different, but same everything else. I tested the Ohm resistance on these & they are between 4K - 6k Ohm. Which is fine. They are resistor spark plugs.

Welcome & Congrats here as well.

On my drain pans, I have marks & amounts marked on them, so I measure how much I get outta my Z for example, No guess work.

Well my 15+ year old MTD (Made in USA B&S Flathead powered) push mower, hasn't skipped a beat in all those years. But I would not buy one today. And my Toro Timecutter has been great from day one back in 2014.

Is the engine & cylinder fins free of debris under the blower housing ?
