I feel your pain! I moved from IL/WI border to a small town Cadiz in western KY, living on Lake Barkley. I went from a great lawn in IL to rocks and scattered greens. I was happy in the beginning that it was green, even if just weeds. We also did alot of construction and other yard items...

FINAL UPDATE I replaced the power washer with an OEM pump (decided against the much cheaper non-OEM pumps), checked and lubed all o-rings (one was bad) cleaned carb as it was "hunting" occasionally. Pump literally took maybe 15 minutes to change, exact bolt on. I started it up (again started...

Update after working on this the past week. Engine: change oil, air filter and plug. I primed and it started on second pull with no smoke and idles without issue. Amazing. I did what you recommenced on the pump. The pump does work, BUT, it blew of one of the plastic bolts of which I could...

OK....I received the seal and took everything apart and replaced the seal. I think it took me about 5 hours overall. Not exactly confident of this fix and I will explain in the following sentences. BUT on the positive, it has not leaked after an hour of running and if I do have to replace it...

True Slomo, regarding the engine. I probably was just a little heated it seems this summer every week is another issue. I appreciate the comment/thoughts.

Thank you for the extra hint. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I'll keep everyone informed once I receive the seal and attempt the change. I appreciate the assistance.

Thank you.

Thank you, I will review this in preparation for the seal replacement.

I have received excellent help here for all my previous issues with this mower. Just a rant - DONE with Dixie Choppers. Here are the details of my mower: 2017 Dixie Chopper Blackhawk HP 2560 KOE purchased in 2018 Kohler EZT 740 S/N: 4702504833 After many issues this summer, I now have a oil...

Thank you !!! I have googled, but now I see that I was using the wrong part number. Thanks for the correct part number and your patience. It’s been a long week. I appreciate the help.

Thank you !

Looks like the fan, Parker #420004 is trashed. I unfortunately cannot find a source and Parker does not sell retail. Although hlw49 has the new part number I would prefer if at all possible to find a rebuilt unit before buying new. Thanks

Thanks hlw49! By chance do you know of a source for parts of this Parker transmission? I was hoping to buy just the fan -Parker #420004.
