Wouldn't hurt to inspect the engine stack pulley for wear. They can get a groove worn into them that will act like a belt that is bottoming out in the pulley groove causing slippage.

Would help if we had the model number from the valve cover on the engine itself. Also the 7 digit model number from the tag on tag would also assist since Lt200 is just a series number and covers several different model numbers.

The short answer is no it will not fit. JD tends to use a different belt cut angle then traditional belts which I will guarantee is different than the Husqvarna belt, and may be even a slightly different width, because cross reference manuals tend to use generic conversion widths. At this...

This is what confuses people and should be removed from the Command service manual The all other models parts gets people into trouble. The Command twin doesn't use ACR therefore the high compression and the fact you can do compression testing on the command engines. And also due to the...

Kohler command engines have non adjustable hydraulic lifters and do not use an ACR. Cranking sounds like either a weak battery, or voltage drop causing slow cranking.

I wouldn't be concerned about the voltage across the ground since it could be just stray voltage. I would be more interested in the milliamp draw to see how much is being drained. Some drain is normal across a live voltage regulator due to the regulator has to have a small draw in order to...

Just for some light statistics. 95% of warranty failures occur in the first 5 hours of operation. And between .5-1% of all failures are caused by manufacturer defects.

Just plan on all products no matter brand name to have a 5 year or less obsolescence and you will not be disappointed.

Did the rod break and piston hit the plug, or did something get into the engine and get wedged between the piston and plug, like the head of the valve or valve seat or something else.

I am going to wait to make a decision until the diagnosis comes back from the teardown. What was cause of failure will be the deciding factor me, before I lay blame

Yes it has hydraulic lifters

And it doesn't help when there is a large misconception on how and what is actually does.

I just did a charity case last week. 71 year old neighbor had a heart attack and went into cardiac arrest at the hospital, and coded for 12 minutes while installing a drive belt on a LT160 for his 84 year old neighbor. I completed the install without charge.

It is the fuel tank spacer that mounts under the front bottom edge of the fuel tank. Goes into this hole on bottom of tank

No retainer. the shaft is held in by the top snap ring that is above the seal. Most likely when you put the bolts back into the center section and compress the section back down, you will be able to just slide the input shaft out, and then remove the center section bolts to continue disassembly.

You need to put the bolts back into the center section to remove the input shaft. The drive motor portion under the center section of the hydro will put spring pressure on the center section which is turn side loads the input shaft. Normally the input shaft has to be removed before the center...

Around here it is solar farms going in. And my favorite is a $2.5M, 298 foot tall buzzard roost that was supposed to be a Verizon tower, erected in March of this year. 1/8 mile from my house The reason it is a buzzard roost is because there is no fiber optic cables within 12 miles of the...

Been doing it for 28 years now. One person shop running the entire show. If a shop doesn't want to do a hydro rebuild that is fine, but it has gotten to the point were they won't even fix an simple oil leak that doesn't even require removing the hydro.

A few years ago my local Poulan Pro distributor offered complete chainsaw, trimmers, z turn mowers, and riders to their dealers for sales. And I picked a certain Z turn from the list and compared my dealer cost to what Rural King was selling them for to determine if it would be profitable...

A lot of high schools don't even offer ag classes in rural farming communities. They have been replaced with horticulture classes and greenhouse plants.

I find there is 3 kinds of customers. The ones that know nothing and will let you do what needs to be done. The ones that are probably as fluent in repairs on some of the techs. and 3rd the ones that think they know what they are doing, but know just enough to be dangerous. The 3rd group...

I don't think we have hit rock bottom yet. Things are not critical right now, but slowly approaching that level. Part of the issue was they always pushed college in school, and the trades were frowned on. But now with so many college grads with no marketable skills, some high schools are...

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...
