I feel your pain! I moved from IL/WI border to a small town Cadiz in western KY, living on Lake Barkley. I went from a great lawn in IL to rocks and scattered greens. I was happy in the beginning that it was green, even if just weeds. We also did alot of construction and other yard items...

FINAL UPDATE I replaced the power washer with an OEM pump (decided against the much cheaper non-OEM pumps), checked and lubed all o-rings (one was bad) cleaned carb as it was "hunting" occasionally. Pump literally took maybe 15 minutes to change, exact bolt on. I started it up (again started...

Update after working on this the past week. Engine: change oil, air filter and plug. I primed and it started on second pull with no smoke and idles without issue. Amazing. I did what you recommenced on the pump. The pump does work, BUT, it blew of one of the plastic bolts of which I could...

One of my neighbors was giving away the following Craftsman Power Washer: Model: 580.752342 S/N: 1013704940 Briggs and Stratton 4.5 HP Model: 10H902 Type: 0113E1 Code: 06040754 She indicated the last time she used it was approximately 10 years ago and only for a few hours. She never did...

OK....I received the seal and took everything apart and replaced the seal. I think it took me about 5 hours overall. Not exactly confident of this fix and I will explain in the following sentences. BUT on the positive, it has not leaked after an hour of running and if I do have to replace it...

True Slomo, regarding the engine. I probably was just a little heated it seems this summer every week is another issue. I appreciate the comment/thoughts.

Thank you for the extra hint. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I'll keep everyone informed once I receive the seal and attempt the change. I appreciate the assistance.

Thank you.

Thank you, I will review this in preparation for the seal replacement.

I have received excellent help here for all my previous issues with this mower. Just a rant - DONE with Dixie Choppers. Here are the details of my mower: 2017 Dixie Chopper Blackhawk HP 2560 KOE purchased in 2018 Kohler EZT 740 S/N: 4702504833 After many issues this summer, I now have a oil...

Thank you !!! I have googled, but now I see that I was using the wrong part number. Thanks for the correct part number and your patience. It’s been a long week. I appreciate the help.

Thank you !

Looks like the fan, Parker #420004 is trashed. I unfortunately cannot find a source and Parker does not sell retail. Although hlw49 has the new part number I would prefer if at all possible to find a rebuilt unit before buying new. Thanks

Thanks hlw49! By chance do you know of a source for parts of this Parker transmission? I was hoping to buy just the fan -Parker #420004.

I need to either find a vendor for Parker parts, rebuilt transmissions or new .....bottom line I need to replace or repair my current Parker. Sorry about the confusion.

Here are the details of my mower: 2017 Dixie Chopper Blackhawk HP 2560 KOE purchased in 2018 Kohler EZT 740 S/N: 4702504833 Left Side Parker Transmission Model: HTJ12L260FALKCA000 S/N: 170350016 Long story short when my Dixie blew the plastic idler pulley 6 months after I purchased, I was...

Thank you for the information and comments. I agree totally I never get under any vehicle without some type of back up support (jack stands, etc.)

Thank you for the information and quick reply!

Thanks everyone for the assistance and tips!!!! I actually did not have to lift the Dixie and was able to complete everything successfully. I appreciate all the assistance. It is back up and running. HLW49, lol, I am very jealous of your Heftee 2000 and never realized equipment like this was...

I have one more question. What is the best way to jack up the front and rear of the dixie. I cannot get at this without lifting the rear and always wondered how do you lift the front. I looked on line and they suggested lifting the front from the cutting deck??!! Is the doable? Looking at...

Thank you!!

Thank you! Under warranty, I had the plastic pulley replaced. I thanked it lasted through the first year. I appreciate the hints and the information! I have the part ordered and hopefully will try this next week.

Thank you bertsmobile1. I appreciate the information and hints. I have ordered the part, hope to have it here next week.

It has been a tough year with my Dixie Blackhawk. I have previously written about my Dixie when the accelerator cable locked up due to heat. I appreciate the comments and since repairing have not had any issues. Just recently I was out mulching leaves and lost the drive on my chopper. After...

Thank you for the added information. I appreciate it.

Thank you for the information, it is much appreciated. My idle RPM is dead on and once the new cable is installed I will check the governor spring location and its condition. The information on the RPM / Torque was great. I did not realize it was optimized at that rpm. I won't worry so much...

Thank you. I checked the old cable and that is exactly what happened, the inner lining melted against the cable and locked it when cold. I will follow your directions once I get the new one (awaiting delivery) and route as far from muffler as possible. I appreciate the tips. Regarding the...

This is a great forum and have used information on here to assist me in various repairs and recommendations. Thank you to all of you who address issues. My Dixie is the following: 2017 Dixie Chopper Blackhawk HP 2560 KOE purchased in 2018 Kohler EZT 740 S/N: 4702504833 I have the following...

I use Amsoil products for all my equipment (2 & 4 cycle) and have never had an issue. I use regular (ethanol) gas throughout the year. I am sure others have had similar luck with other brands, but given my history with Amosil (15+ years) I am not changing. Just my opinion. Never had an issue...

I use Amsoil for all my equipment - sabre. A little more expensive but have never had an issue with any of my 2 cycle products.

I have tried several products over the years and have found Amsoil Mudslinger to work the best. The first time I tried it was after I cleaned the underside of the deck, allowed it to dry and then sprayed liberally with mudslinger. I have found it to easily work a month or more. During the fall...

I am a fan of Amsoil products. I only use their 2 stroke oil. I have had good luck with it running all my 2 cycles for the past 5 years. Burns clean, no deposits and plugs seem to last longer. My two cents.
