    Axle Bent. Suggestions? YTH24V54

    Looks like all the variations of the YTH24V54 use the Tuff Torq K46BT transaxle. There is only one US distributor for these parts but several retail vendors on online. Ordertree is the distributor retail site. Removing the axle is fairly simple after you remove the transaxle and turn it upside...

    AT WHAT RPM............

    Personally it would better at a low rpm as the clutch brake (deck braking) would not cause as much wear on the brake. But this is just my opinion.

    Is my math right?

    You find things like this all over the place. Try paying attention to some of your local groceries prices on weekly sales. For example I have seen two 5# sacks of potatoes to cheaper than one 10# sack. Or like at Kroger some peanuts I buy regularly. A 34.5 oz brown lid container being around $5...

    Sears Parts Direct?

    I also don't order from Searspartsdirect any longer due to problems getting the parts. As others said they says they have parts in stock when they don't. On my last attempt to parts they didn't let me know for weeks that they were able to even get the parts leaving me hanging. What was worst was...

    Tecumseh BVS 143 - what spark plug?

    Thread is the diameter of the threading. In this case thread is a M14 diameter. Reach is the length of the thread section and /or the tip. Example M14-1.25 x 8mm or a 9/16-20 x 5/16. Now there is difference in how this measure is done. In you example they are just the threaded section but in the...

    Transmission slipping

    Also make the drive belt idler arm is freely moving as to take tension as it needs to. A slipping belt can mimick a bad hydro. But I would say there a good chance that hydro is damage as it was ran dry on oil on wheel motor side.

    Tecumseh BVS 143 - what spark plug?

    I don't know where that info came from but this is what I have on the RJ17LM plug here. But converting to metrics the specs matches to 9.5mm reach. Just 8mm is very close to 5/16 and I see no Champion with that spec. The .6mm gap is converted .023-.024" which usually gapped at .025". Normally...

    Oily Rag Disposal

    Another option for the paper towels soaked with oil is to just burn them in small piles so the smoke level is low. But for regular shop rags I simply wash them every so often. The problem of keeping oily rags around in a shop is the potential for sparks and hot mufflers setting them on fire...

    Oily Rag Disposal

    I don't store oily in any enclosed so there has been no problem. Now use oil filter do get crushed here to extract most the used oil before disposal and the oil is then sent to be recycled. Good for the environment in my opinion.

    The serial comes backs as a KT745-3043. This is why they need to be ultrasonically cleaned to remove as much crud as you can. If rust is present then they get replaced.

    Cub cadet ltx 1040 PTO lever replacement

    You should not have to cut anything as it was installed without any bending. But fender pan will need to be free enough to lift it up over the lever. Now I just had to bend one these levers back after the customer had it nearly half way down to the locked position but that is probably a...

    Yes it is a T1900 in layman's terms. The problem you are finding is the same most of us independent shops have and calling MTD is of no use either. The best I have ever got of MTD is a line drawing a couple times.

    Most small engines that has an electric starter do have an alternator separated into two parts. A stator and a set of flywheel magnets. Most DIYer over look the flywheel magnets that drives the stator voltage. When these two elements combine they become an alternator when the engine is running.
