    How to Remove HYDRO GEAR 72972 TRANSMISSION FAN PULLEY

    Got it off. Pics attached. This one is drivers side (LH when sitting and mowing) Didn't have to remove the wheel. Working totally blind and only by feel was able to get a crescent wrench threaded in that space and resting on top of the PTO belt. Fiddled with the sizing on the wrench...

    How to Remove HYDRO GEAR 72972 TRANSMISSION FAN PULLEY

    Is the shaft adapter on the underside of the pulley? Between the pulley and the Hydro Gear unit? Do you have to remove the tire to get the wrench back up in there? Thanks.

    How to Remove HYDRO GEAR 72972 TRANSMISSION FAN PULLEY On a Gravely ZT HD 60 Replaced the other side a couple of years ago and cannot for the life of me remember how I got the nut off to allow removal of the assembly. Do remember thinking I got lucky. So far, I have tried this clutch...

    Low Compression - Kawasaki FR730V

    The bolt on mine was in fact left handed threads and me "un-tightening" it the wrong way is what stripped it. I didn't figure out it had left hand threads until I went to put it back together. Unfortunately that seems to be how I learn :) Here's the new setup for now.

    Low Compression - Kawasaki FR730V

    Installed New Carb and new fuel filter. Problems resolved. Had replaced that carb two years ago with a $30 Amazon. If the old engine keeps hanging on, I think I will put it on my calendar to just replace that carb again in another 2 years. I had asked here about that bolt on the governor...

    Low Compression - Kawasaki FR730V

    Kawasaki FR730V Gravely ZT HD60 The engine wants to bog down at maximum throttle when engaging the PTO. It recovers and has normal power and mows fine. But something is a bit off. When engaging the PTO at idle it actually kills the engine. Also, noticing that with throttle at idle the...

    UPDATE: Thanks for all your replies fellas. I decided to try simply replacing the head gasket and see what happens...20 bucks and a couple hours of work. Got all the surfaces cleaned up and put the old head back on...adjusted the valves...and then re-tested the compressions on the cold...
