Short answer? None, if you're going to hit those rocks regularly. Golf ball sized rocks would be rough on a bush hog. Marble size rocks might make lethal projectiles. I think they make spring-tooth rakes that would do a pretty good job of gathering up the majority of the rocks.

What is this 'big air hammer' of which you speak? The aforementioned 2 lb brass hammer used to give the center bolt a good whack is the best tool for that job. If you can feel any end play in the crankshaft, pull it toward you so that there is a little room for the crankshaft to move when the...

Leaks between the throttle shaft and carb body can cause surging, too.

Spelling means everything to search engines. Spell it like this--homelite hb25150 recoil spring--and see what turns up.

I know a person who has the 72" Vanguard combination. He seems very happy with it but is only mowing three acres with it. I would imagine the payoff for buying the Kubota-powered version would show up in reduced fuel and maintenance costs. If you already have three tractors, have you...

Nobody is. They were trying to help you.

Who makes the engine? It looks like it's a Kubota engine. They're virtually bulletproof. They're loud when warming up and like any diesel, maintenance is minimal. All they need is regular oil & filter changes and the fuel and air filters changed. The only thing I recommend, if it doesn't come...

You're right but the story doesn't stop there. As near as I can tell, the horizontal shaft engine drives a horizontal shaft going to the mower. It may be that all of the things we're seeing in the above are working fine and the problem lies with the mechanism on the mower that turns horizontal...

Check that vacuum is getting to #23. If so, #23 may be bad. If no vacuum at #23, check the vacuum lines (not shown) running between #23 and #16 and from #16 to engine for leaks. If vacuum is present at #16 but not at #23, #16 may be bad or not receiving a signal to open. Is there another page...

Resolved.

Yes, the spin-on fuel filter will have a regular replacement interval. Check with both the mower and the engine manufacturer to see which one has the more stringent change interval. Here's the one you mentioned. It looks like it's been superceded by p/n 63-8300. Any good auto parts store or...

You can always let it run for a few minutes at high idle before you start splitting.

The following is a reply from ffbob. It got lost in the shuffle and ended up in the 'reported' file instead of the 'reply' function: ffbob said, "Mower shuts off now with key switch ( electrical connection) Any clues what to cheek for,motor shutting down while mowing ( starts right back up...

Powered by a peanut butter sandwich--No evil internal combustion engine OR coal-hog electric motor:

The downside is that offsetting the wheels puts more stress on the axle bearings. The upside is that at only 1" of offset, it won't increase stress much. The downside is, at only 2" of total offset, you probably won't be able to tell any difference between the two sets of wheels. Check that the...

Is the 722D2 a diesel? Does it restart OK? if so, then there must be a safety switch of some sort causing the problem. I would expect the seat switch for shutting off the engine when the mower is engaged, but I don't know what would cause it to shut off while idling.

Well, that's it for me. I don't know where to go from here. It'll take somebody smarter than me about computers but that won't take much. Good luck!

Here's another thing: If you click on 'Password and security' it brings up this screen. Is Two-Step verification disabled? I don't know what it does; all I know is that mine is disabled.

And if you click on "Connected accounts" do you see any accounts listed, such as these?

If you log off of Lawn World you'll certainly have to log back. It sounds to me as if your computer has maybe saved an old password and fails to login, or your computer is clearing out cookies every time you shut down? I don't know what else to suggest. edit: When you click on your user...

It seems unlikely to me that the problem lies with the site if I can stay logged on after closing the site and then open the site back up and still be logged on. How do you exit the Lawn World site? I either close its tab or close Firefox.

I use two; one is a notebook running Windows 10, Firefox 83.0 and Adblocker Plus. No problems. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it's the forum. No one else has said the same thing happens to them. What are you using? Phone? Desktop? Laptop? What operating system?

I can't do anything about the above complaint but I can tell you that I'm running Windows 10 with AdBlocker Plus installed and I have had no such problem. FWIW, my ISP is a very slow connection, too, (2M up and 1M down) and it accepts type faster than I can type it.

I wouldn't pressure wash the deck. That has nothing to do with your problem and you might get water past the spindle seals.

How old is the fuel filter?

That points directly to what Star Tech said: "If the engine has a vacuum operated fuel (pump) it is also a possible path for (fuel) to enter the engine's crankcase."

Then your 2000 Grasshopper must've been very sick. If someone set the idle with it running on two cylinders, is it reasonable to assume that the idle speed would be correspondingly higher when the third cylinder became active? It should have been readjusted at that time. I don't know how much...

Are the model numbers the title of the photo?

Call the guy who installed your pump and/or injectors and tell him he's not finished. Why didn't he start it when he was there?

A fuel gauge on a lawnmower is an unnecessary luxury. Airplanes have fuel gauges. Nobody uses them. Clean and mount the tank. Fill it, make a note of how many gallons to fill it. Go mow for one hour. Refill the tank, make a note of how many gallons, to the tenth, it took to refill. That's...

Looks to me like it may be under the left fender but I don't know the year model. Look for your mower in the link below. If nothing else, you can find the starter and trace the heavy wire back to the battery. https://www.the-mower-shop-inc.com/mid_mount/432/midmounts-432.aspx

I vote for #2.

Racerjoe, please let us know the outcome. Have you had the OEM blades off to sharpen or replace them? I've got an MZ 52 which I think has the same deck, and it uses blades that have that 'star' shaped center hole. I'm wondering if the left and center blades are not seated properly. That...

It is about as simple as fixes get. The fuel in the oil is coming from the carburetor overflowing into the intake manifold. If you replaced the OEM carburetor with an eBay carb, your assumption that the needle valve and seat in the new carb will fix the problem may not be good. OEM...

Spinning the engine does not push all of the 'fluid' out of the engine. There is probably nothing wrong with your block and head. The problem is probably with the needle valve and/or seat in your carburetor. Best to replace with OEM parts in your OEM carburetor. In old days, there was a fuel...

Stop while you're ahead before you break something. Call a Kubota dealer and have them come out and get it started for you.

Do a search. You'll find enough to read for days.

What's the purpose of this thread?

I realize that he was told how to do it, but there is no evidence that he ever did follow those directions correctly. I see posts on page 2 in which he says it was running, but he saw on here that there is a second filter so he replaced it and it wouldn't start, so he cracked two lines (and by...

Broken bolts, stripped threads, or other such things that sometimes happen can blow the flat rate out of the water.

Don't pull a line completely off an injector. CRACK open the line at one injector (not the injection pump) slightly, maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn. Keep the two wrenches on or a close to the injector as you can. Crank the engine until you see fuel begin to leak our of the fitting on the...

You didn't say where you live. I would contact the county agriculture agent and get their recommendation. If you don't have one, I would try this: 1. Remove the top 6" of the clay soil and replace it with black dirt and a sprinkler system. or 2. Deep-till in sand to increase the porosity...

If you're getting coolant in the cylinders, you probably have a bad head gasket(s), a cracked head, or a cracked block. I'd guess the most likely suspect is the gaskets.

Clean the carb again, only better this time. If it runs on starter fluid, it'll run on gasoline whenever you can get the carburetor to send it some.

Many mistakes made here. Best bet is to consult the Kubota manual to see how they recommend changing fuel filters and priming the fuel system, injection pump and injectors.

Compressed air works good for anything that isn't wet.

It could be a QA issue but if you haven't kept the cylinders and heads free of grass clippings and other debris, it might be an overheating issue which has allowed the valve guide to migrate out of the head. Then the rocker arm collides with the valve guide and the pushrod bends. It's not...

It's very important that the airflow over the engine is not reduced and that the cooling fins remain clean. Take off that broken fan housing, clean off the cylinder(s) and replace that broken fan housing with a good one. AT LEAST once a year remove the fan housing and clean the engine.
