Thanks y'all I got it figured out. I left the brake stuff off just so there would be less to take off if something wasn't right. I lost the woodruff key that goes off the brake disc. Mower wouldn't move without that being on. Edit to be more clear. What ever mechanism that the pedal moves...

I got it put back on the mower....and now it won't move. The wheel keys are on the axle. The belt is spinning the pulley. But nothing moves , forward or reverse. I made sure of putting the two ball bearings back in place. Sigh. I just want to sell this dang thing,why is it being so...

Stupid me broke a retaining ring on the axle trying to remove a tire. Opened it up and the gears fell out. Lucky me. Now that I have this greasy sob reasonably clean and apart,should I look for something while it's open? I'd hate to put it back together and something be worn. Not sure what to...

Kohler Command 15 s. Oil shoots out with engine running if I remove the cap. With the cap closed it seaps from the bottom where the o ring is. I've replaced the oring,doubled up on the o ring, and tried another tube with another o ring. Still leaks. Replaced head gasket already. Not sure what...

I've had a speedfeed head on mine for quite some time. But now I'm tired of being covered in grass. The head makes it so the cutting path is just below the cord trimmer blade on the shield. Is there another shield that would fit and adjust to where the new head is?

Mower looks to be in okayish shape. Def has been tinkered with( seat switch disabled) Paid 75 bucks for it. Guy said it wasn't getting a spark and won't run. I'll look into it more when I get a chance. Deck looks like it mounts the same as mine My model is 917.256611 other one is 917 255451

Found a Craftsman LT 4000 with a Kohler 14 engine. Can I swap my Kohler 15.5 and call it a day?

So youre saying....i should try it and buy a welder and not care what the Mrs says about the purchase?>>>??

Having trouble finding someone. Ill look on FB to see what mowers are up for grabs.

Thanks y'all I'll look around Craigslist and Fb to see how much someone would charge to do it

Another day another problem ladies and gents. Deck has crack and I'm not sure if it's fixable or even worth it due to the location. Craftsman 917.256611 Finding a deck like this.....where? If fixable I figure either fork out the dough for a decent deck or buy a welder and learn to do it...

Yes sorry replaced the entire thing with new blades. Only the pulleys ,belts and tension spring were reused

Not sure what step I missed or it's just worn part? Craftsman 917.256611 Took the deck apart in winter and worked on it when. Replaced mandrels and blades and kept old pulleys. Now the deck shakes and it's loud unlike before. Not sure what's wrong. But my belt looks loose?

Had this mower two years now. Has always whined when in motion. With the age of this mower ( made in 96) would it be worth to go thru the trouble of draining and filling the fluid? I assume the damage is already done. But I'm not sure of changing it would cause more issue.

I'll give the epoxy a go first. It's the valve cover. I stripped the threads trying to put it on.
