Not as much that as I noticed the mice liked that hole. Thanks

Sorry for late reply... I thought forum would send emails when I get a reply. I don't have the spec # right here with me. But the block and that # is a CV15. The cover with the hole in it is from a CV16. The CV15 had some parts missing and used some from the CV16 to complete it. Thx

Working on my sons Kohler engine. I got it all put back together but there is a hole in the cover and a part missing. I am guessing it might be the spark advance module and it could have had a coil replaced with the combo unit??? It looks like a great place for mice to get in. So just looking...

Thanks for the info!!

My son has a Dixon mower with a Kohler Command 16HP, engine that self destructed. CV16s SKH426U1G2RB What engines will interchange with that? I know it is a big question. I found a few scrapper mowers. One with Kohler Pro 16.5 HP. Briggs 21 OHV, Briggs 19.5 twin. No model #s. I can try to...

Thank you!!

Briggs 282707. I can't find a torque spec for the crankshaft counter weight. It was pretty tight coming out. Any loctite on it? If you are looking up I can also double check the head and rod torque. Thanks

Thanks for your helpful ideas. Any life I get out of it is more than it had the way it was. Since the transmissions are not available, it was worth fixing it.

Another couple FYIs. You should fill the trans about 1-1/2 from the top of the fill hole. I am pretty sure the fitting on top of the transmission is a 6AN ORB. I ordered 2 new ones with a barbed fitting to replace the broken plastic ones. To purge the transaxles, raise the rear wheels off...

This is the showing the old and new filter. I started to clean one of the old filters. You can with a few cans of spray. The stuff is thick and slimy. If you can clean them it will only cost you oil, carb cleaner and your time. I tried with one of the old ones. Hope this helps someone.

This is what the transaxle looks like with the pan removed. The filter is completely covered in a slimy sludge. In the center it looks like a bolt, but it is a magnet. I would recommend leaving the filter in place and washing it off with carb cleaner. It will take a few cans. The sludge is...

For the ones looking for info in the future, I will post some info. To drain the fluid and access the filter on the 2400L (5751) you have to drop the pan. There is no drain plug. There are 10 bolts. Even though the transaxles are the same, they had different bolts. The left had 3/8" heads and...

I did get a reply back from Hydro-Gear. They emailed me the service manual. It looks like the manual is for a 310-2400L or a 310-2600L, but it matches my 5751 312-2400L. I will try to upload it to help out anyone else. Ugh, it is a 4.91MB PDF and won't upload. Unless there is another way to...

A few years ago... Well maybe a decade. They were banning kid's ride on toys. Because of the lead in the battery terminals. It was considered a lead hazard. Go figure. If the kids are going to chew on battery terminals...

The harbor freight special... I use that too. Works well. Only thing, they have dies for down to 16 or so gauge wire, but not really large dies. Wish they had dies for 0000 wire. I was always thinking of grinding the odd ball small ones to the size I want, but never got to it. The ones you show...
