There is a plastic coupler that connects the engine to the hyd pump. Under a black shield I think. I have heard talk of them wearing out.

We got them changed. Left rear pulley on and slid both bearing off over the splines. I used a piece of chain link fence top rail to drive rear bearing back down the shaft. that way I was pushing on inner part of bearing and not damaging bearing

Is there a market for the vac/bagging system for the older style decks? It is a 61" deck 721kubota gas. It is a older unit with console between your legs. I can get number off blower ect. It belongs to my neighbor, he bought mower with bagger and pulled bagger off. If anybody is interested I...

Ok. Is the Power flow available for the 72". Anyway he has the older style deck.

His deck is a 61"

Do you know the part number or model number of what you need? My neighbor has a vac system that came with his 700 series that he is going to sell

I was just looking at he parts diagram and it looks like a deck can be changed from side to rear discharge? I have a 727efi w/ 61" Powerfold front deck side discharge. First off I have never used a rear discharge mower, Is there any advantages or disadvantages to rear discharge? Seems like it...

I agree with OEM parts. They are not that much more expensive and engineered for the application.

I know the Kubota 3 cylinders sound like a sewing machine when running. I see machines with 1000's of hours and they are still running. I dont think you can beat a Kubota power plant. They even look like a industrial engine as opposed to a mower engine

Try some local dealers. Most have salvage machines out back.

Not sure. Just have to look online. Looks like the soft cab uses the hard top roof to mount to. I have to use ski goggles when using mine

I would say probably 15' to 25'. Google it and watch the Grasshopper videos of them in action. They are accurate.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1055191888149553/ Here is a 412 (4 footer) that could probably be had for $1000

I was skeptical also since I had a 2 stage prior. The single stage Grasshopper did not disappoint. Its a beast! Watch Facebook marketplace and Craigs list ect. and you should be able to find one in really good shape for $1000 or so. I bought a 412 for $1000 that did not even have paint wear...

I have had a 512 (5') on a 723 and a 727 for several years and it handled it well. I have cleared 2'-3' drifts and 2' deep stuff the plow truck threw in to the drive. Deep stuff I just slow down to let it keep up. The only time it plugs up is if the snow is real wet and slushy, basically I did...
