Here is a picture of the parts list on the package from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Hydro-Gear-Overhaul-Original-Equipment-Manufacturer/dp/B0067T53IW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3Q0TPMXGIT7J9&sprefix=70740%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-1

@StarTech, could the seal and O ring be included in the 70740 seal kit for that hydro

The truth is most repair shops are not qualified to be called a repair shop. Dealers will replace crankshaft seals in engines and tear down engines to replace camshafts, governor gears, and leaking sumps on engines, but won't even replace the input shaft seal on a hydro. To them if it is...

May still have water in the pump, since the HP pump on kohler has a float and internal screen like a carb bowl.

If the filters are prior to a pump air space maybe visible due to the expansion chamber effect of a fuel filter, and the natural cavitation of fuel due to the vacuum create. But what you see may not be actual air. It could be diesel hydrocarbon vapor.

532427497 Jonsered is owned and made by Husqvarna.

The only thing I can say is welcome to the world of battery operated tools where the companies have no intention of supplying parts past the warranty period, and if it fails under warranty we will just refund your purchase price, providing you still have the original receipt.

Fuel valve shutoff in the fuel line will keep it from overflowing into the carb while not running. Also be aware that the fuel solenoid on the bottom of the carb has no control over the fuel flowing into the carb, just prevents the afterfire when the key is shutoff. Fuel can still overflow...

Compression most likely won't even fire at 100 psi. Has the engine been started since the rebuild or is this the first start attempt. Most next thought if the engine hasn't been running since the rebuild is the camshaft wasn't properly timed to the crankshaft.

The bottom push rod is aluminum and the top one is steel Unless the aluminum push rod has a groove worn into that shiny area I would just flip it over and put the shiny side down inside the pushrod cavity. And have you checked the oil level and make sure it also isn't full of gas...

And will leak even worse with the flat paper style gaskets if the intake warps

And most of those can be traced back to using a fuel filter that has the wrong micron filtration. The pre-filter for the main pressure pump has to be a 10 micron, anything courser will lead to clogging of the internal filter in the pressure pump.

I normally replace the entire plate because most of the time when the issue rears its ugly head the push rod has chewed through the plastic guide, and worn into the metal plate to the point that will no longer hold the plastic guide in place and the push rod has been cut in two.

If single cylinder OHV intek engine the valve cover gasket could be leaking and dripping on the muffler which could be what lead to the fire. Fire could also damaged the wiring going to the fuel solenoid on the carb which could explain the lack of fuel issue if that is what it is.

The JD S240 lawnmower uses a Tuff-Torq K46 transmission which is the reasoning behinds @StarTech post

yes

This should assist in your search for proper speed

As a outdoor power service technician of 28 years I will give you a rundown of lawnmower tech 101 First technical service manuals NO NOT EXIST. John deere for the most part is the outlier since they have tech docs for most of their equipment. But you have to pay for it. Pro level access to...

I would start by checking for any binding or stickiness in the throttle shaft on the carb, as well as the throttle shaft to governor arm linkage not binding. Could be an issue with the governor gear itself. Have seen that issue before but not on Briggs. Also the governor springs job is to...

I am having some thoughts, but need to know what engine this mower has. Model info from engine will be needed to proceed.

It has been a few years, but seem to think it was Hondabond 4 or do they make a 3. Anyway. It seemed to work fine on sumps, and some valve covers, but when used on a Kohler 7000 series it would turn black, hard, flake off if touched with your fingernail. Had the appearance of gasket shellac

The last tube of Hondabond that I used turned black, crispy, and would start leaking within 15 minutes of starting the engine. Seems great for sump sealant but just wasn't very heat tolerant on valve covers on V twin engines with the exhaust under the valve covers.

Also something else to look at. When you pull the trigger on the gun, is the engine closing the choke. and then sticking it shut causing the engine to run rich

The air cleaner base doesn't have a vent hole that corresponds with the bottom center left vent hole on the carb. I think that is were he is considering drilling the hole in the air cleaner base to line up with that hole in the carb.

I think the TPS is fine. The code 22 is either an issue with the wire, a pin fitment, or is a false flag issue that is a side note for the code 23 which could be related to a wiring issue with the TPS or the ECU is actually going bad.

Looks like that mower uses the Tuff-torq K46 tranny which is not known to be the strongest unit But keep in mind that with a hydrostat less pedal is more torque, which would explain the mower starting to move when the petal is slightly released. But also the mower stops moving when the...

I would look at item 19 parts number 56418MA item 22 part number 55168MA which may be NLA item 23 part number 56236E701 and item 25 part number 21031MA which is also NLA.

If that is the clutch I think it is there are 3 holes around the outer perimeter that coincide with notches in the scalloped part of the generator drive pulley on the engine. There are set screws in there that have to removed and also loosened. Meaning they are double layer set screws. You...

So does Kohler/Rehlko, Honda, Briggs, MTD, Kawasaki

Here is code 22 and 31 diagnostics And looks like fuel pressure is suppose to be 39 psi +/- 3 psi so your 36 is just on the edge. And would check all engine and chassis grounds. A loose or corroded ground between the engine and ECU can cause all kinds of strange sensor readings.

In @Turfspray case that would not be true. The issue isn't the sharpening grinding down the blade. The issue is the Florida sand, or in the case of Illinois the sandy/loam soils that act as a sandblaster and will cut the air lifts off the blades in a mowing season or less.

Make sure you don't have gas in the oil, which can get drawn into the intake through the breather tube leading to a rich run issue from the escaping gas fumes.

Like start with the model, type and code from the engine so we can see which of the thousands of different engines that briggs produced of the years.

We refer to them as flail mowers. for light duty cutting normally use "Y" blades and for rough or heavy cutting hammer blades.

Some people call them a bush-hog which is actually a brand name. I think Aussie's call it a slasher. Basically a large mower for cutting rough areas that have blades that can be anywhere between 18-30 inches long and weight 8-12 pounds each. These are 12 pound blades And an 1 ounce or...

Free swinging rotary cutter blades are the hardest to balance. And you can tell when they are not balanced.

Things you take into account is most people don't own chargers, Most people store their mower in a location without electric to plug in a charger, and the majority of people don't even own the wrench to remove the bolts that hold the wires to the battery terminals, so they could remove the...

The first time I encountered this issue, was envolving a case were the hydro pump had actually frozen over the winter and resulting in breaking the springs in the hydro pump pistons which sent pieces through the center section destroying the unit.

This is the one that I use. Purchased it at auction from a retired mower shops estate sale about 25 years ago https://www.amazon.com/Magna-Matic-Blade-Balancer-MAG-1000/dp/B00AZ0R8G4/ref=sr_1_19?crid=2B4ID9WJLL1EY&sprefix=blade+ba%2Caps%2C229&sr=8-19&xpid=nqUml8hcAAICj

I have had good luck with the Menard's batteries. And the 6 month exchange warranty isn't bad either.

I think the issue started when Husqvarna consolidated IPL's and eliminated the 9 digit actual model identifier from most of their parts diagrams.

The 968999153 is the model number of the mower which references a 2000 ZTH5223 in the parts diagrams. But doesn't give any references to the engine.

Wow they still have parts for this thing https://www.partstree.com/models/70-cub-cadet-garden-tractor/clutch-5/ May have to so a search in your area that does starter rebuilds. They are getting harder to find but I suspect there is one in your area.

There was an issue years ago, Like 20 were hydro-gear had issue with water entering the vent if the mowers was stored outside at the dealer. The fix was they put an umbrella over the vent and that seemed to fix the issue. First I had heard of this issue since. But sounds like water...

Lets start with the actual model number of the mower starts with 590. there is 9 versions of the Procut S.

Some blade hole shaped don't work well with nails or screwdrivers through the holes. Thinking the 5-6-8 sided star shaped holes. And some holes are oval. And if the nail or screwdriver are not perfectly level can effect what is perceived as balanced. Are the magnetic zero friction bearing...

From your description the float valve is not sealing allowing overfilling of the carb. The float valve sealing is done by using low pressure air with a gauge to check for leakage. it is down with the carb upside down with the only thing sealing the float valve is the weight of the float. If...

Be aware that the GCV style engine don't have a removable head and everything has to come out through the lower crankcase half which may make honing the cylinder challenging at best.

If this is the plastic 1/4 twist and pull out stye drain, it is very common for them to come loose. Also very common to leak, and also break draining the engine oil while running causing rapid unscheduled engine disassembly. I would replace the valve at the next oil change with a more durable...

I have had a grease gun put enough pressure inside of the spindle housing that it sideloaded the bearings to the point that the shaft couldn't be turned. More than once I have had the internal pressure of spindles be high enough that is opened the 10,000 psi bypass in my Dewalt grease gun. And...
