I bought a new MZ61 Zero Turn this spring. Having issues with really bouncing a lot over rough terrane. I have a Scag Wildcat before and it new bounced this bad. I figure it was a lot heavier machine. I can't use this thing on my back lot because I like keeping my teeth in my mouth. After...

I have a SMWC-61A. Somewhere around a 2007 model. Last season I was losing hydraulic fluid from somewhere around my right pump. Kept an eye on fluid level and had to add cardboard to my shed floor for leakage. So before mowing season starts again, I want to either fix or dump this mower. In the...

I have a Scag SMWC-61A with a Kohler CV740s Command Pro 27 engine. While mowing today, I kept smelling either what I thought was oil or rubber. I thought maybe a belt was going bad. I kept using until something happened. It did. Blades dis-engaged and will not re-engage. I just replaced the PTO...

I found this information on another lawn site. I have had electrical problems all year with my Scag -SMWC-61-A. After replacing a relay, key switch, starter and solenoid, battery, replacing negative ground placement on motor, plus other non-electrical problems throughout the year, I have spent...

Had a fire. Made new connections for ground and connection to Electric clutch. Thought I had solenoid problem due to being able to jump terminals to crank. New solenoid did not work. Re-installed old one. It worked again for 3 starts, then nothing. Checked all safety switches. Checked key...

On prior posts, I related issues with a solenoid and it's replacement. Has anyone ever had a new solenoid that was bad? I put old one back on , so I can at least jump the terminals to still use it. Now, believe it or not, back in June, I had a drive belt break that caused a small fire. Since I...

I have a SMWC-61a Scag with a CV740s Kohler Command Pro 27 engine. Been having electrical problems since a drive belt caused a small fire. Short story- Just replaced the battery because I had to jump start. The following week, again, no start. Jumped terminals on solenoid. Starts and runs...

I have a SMWC-61A Wildcat. 2 weeks ago, a drive belt tore off and started a small fire. It melted the quick connection that comes from the harness to the Electric PTO below the engine. I had to cut the connection off and rewire. Needed more length of wire, so I coupled a small piece to it. This...

I would like to thank the people who steered me onto my engine cutting out problem. I thought it was my carberator. I cleaned it twice. Then a couple people told me it could be my coils. This model Scag ( SMWC-61A) with Kohler engine had issues apparently with their coils going bad...

I've made posts with inquiries on this site for a couple years now. I'm not the most handy repairman out there, so have to come to this site for advise. People on here have saved my ***** for more than a few times. I hate to send my Scag to repair shop, if I can attempt to do the repair myself...

I have a Nikki carburetor # 24 053 92 on a CV740S Command Pro 27 Kohler engine. When I look up this number for replacement, I get # 24 853 92. I cannot find the carburetor I have anywhere. No different part number. Nothing. Searched every small engine repair, replacement, parts place out there...

I have a Command Pro 27 Kohler engine with a Niki carburetor. The thing sticks in low idle for a minute or 2, before kicking into high idle. I have taken carburetor apart twice and cleaned it with carburetor cleaner. I have really hit the jets hard with it. Still have same problem. I am...

Help. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get a frozen bolt lose from my zero turn blade. I Have a 61a Wildcat. I accidently hit a water meter cover, and it bent my blade. ( Also broke my deck belt. Had spare for that.) I have an extra set of blades. But, since I hit the cover and bent the blade...

I have a Scag SMWC-61A with a Command Pro 27 Kohler engine. Recently, when I first start it up, after pulling choke back, the engine will not throttle up to full power. It stays like this for a minute or 2, then all of a sudden, it kicks up to full power. At 1st I thought it may be a fuel pump...

Help. My new PTO switch just burnt. I'm taking this as a sign that the PTO clutch needs replacing. Due to my recent prior post, I thought it was just the switch. John R. advised the there could be a short. I didn't listen. He was right. My apologies. I will ALWAYS take someone's advise on here...

While mowing the last bit of yard today, the blades just dis-engaged. Cannot get them to re-engage now. Was mowing normal, and did nothing special. Just puttered once, came back on, the completely went off. Checked fuses. Could the electric PTO switch go bad like this? How do I check with...

I have a Scag Wildcat Zero Turn- 27hp Kohler engine. Model CV740S -- This ran fine 2 weeks ago. Now, my problem is that it won't crank. When testing the battery, it's coming up short at just 10volts. Only 10volts to solenoid too. The solenoid barely clicks once. I get several clicks coming...

Every now and then, I have to re-attach the deck belt after engaging PTO and the belt spinning off. I have got some advise on possible culprits. The pulleys seem to roll free with no sticking. I really seem to think that the belt is riding very high on tension pulleys. With the little jerking...

I need to replace the drive belt on a Scag SMWC-61 ( Kohler Engine 27HP) . I'm pretty sure that I have to remove the cutter/deck belt 1st, since the drive belt looks like it belongs above it. ( I have lots of experience on the deck belt install. I have a habit of sliding off when I 1st engage...
