No, not yet. I'm taking it to our Dixie Chopper dealer later this month. I don't have the tools to diagnose the problem myself. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the reply!

Thanks. I appreciate your input.

Yeah, I did the same on my Dixie Chopper. I was wondering if these on the Bad Boy might be a little softer.

Are they solid rubber? Do they have any give at all, or are they unforgivingly hard?

Shaft by bottom seal is dry and the pully is dusty, but dry. No sign of fresh oil around valve covers or oil filter. Paper towel test shows no sign of oil. There is no burning oil smell and no smoke. Still stumped.

All good suggestions. Thanks! I'm leaning now towards the bottom seal being shot, but I don’t understand why I don't see any oil. I'm going to clean it up and check again. The engine has less than 700 hours on it. I can't fix the seal myself, so it's off to the shop if that's the issue. Wonder...

Oil drain hose cap is secure - no indication of oil leakage there. That was a good thought though.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I thought of that, but have seen no oil. I'll look again.

I have a 2006 LT2700-60D with the 27HP Generac engine, Model 0050581 and Serial 7818389. I fill with oil before mowing, and the oil level after 2.5 hours of mowing does not even register on the dipstick. No external signs of a leak. I assume it must be burning it, but no exhaust smoke or loss of...

Here're a couple of pics, but I don’t think they show too much. They are with the valve stem installed, which is what is in place now.

Thanks for the reply. I did a pretty thorough inspection of the tank the last time I had it off and could find no evidence of a crack anywhere. It seems that the grommets I've tried are just a hair too small in diameter. The fit is just not snug enough to the tank opening, even with the gas...

Gas tank is leaking right at the gas line connection. I have replaced the grommet four times using grommets from different suppliers (they all look the same) but still get a steady drip. I even tried using a bolt-on wheel valve stem with the valve removed. That works better, but I still have a...

Success! New PTO switch resolved all issues.

Pulled and tested the PTO switch. The set of contacts for the clutch had no continuity and the set for the motor was OK, so I'll replace that tomorrow and see what happens. Hope that's all it is.

OK. Tested the seat switch: 1) unplugged the two connections and would not start; 2) bypassed the switch with a jumper between the two leads and it started and ran whether I was on the seat or not and no matter the position of brake or control arms, but PTO would not engage; 3) reconnected...

Thanks for the reply. I can't even see the switch. It's up inside the seat cushion (I have the deluxe seat), and I don't see an obvious way to get to it. It's also not shown in the 2006 parts manual. I wonder if its the same switch as the regular seat, but located and attached differently...

Last time I finished mowing, I put the brake on and put the control handles in neutral. The engine should have kept running (I like to run all the gas out of the lines after each use), but it just shut off. Brake being on or off made no difference. I just sat there and ran the engine until the...

Hi guys. Bought my Silver Eagle LT2700-60D brand new in 2006 for cutting about 7 acres around my house.
