If it is leaking at the head, it is usually the valve cover gasket.

Hope that works for glad to help

Have replaced the aluminum with steel a lot of times with no problems.

The steel one will work just fine. Not sure why they use aluminum.

Charging system is not working.

If you have water in the fuel tank you can drain the fuel out of the tank. You do not have to take the carb off to get the water out of it. Get some seafoam fill the fuel filter with it, start and run the engine it will pull the water out of the carb. I have done this many times and never had to...

Head gaskets don't usually leak oil outside the engine. It is usually the pan gasket. Yes, that is the right head gasket, and they are the same works on either side. Number one head is the head on the left side of the engine standing facing the carb. and or muffler. You should lap the heads to...

And how does that work?

Wrong spring 796260 is what you need. Move the throttle control and watch the arm that moves and hook the spring in it and then to the governor arm on the engine.

I know all that just wanted to see what kind of feedback I would get. When you ask most people that question, they will say weight.

Does anyone know what the w in motor oil stand for?

You may have to clean out under the welch plug on the side of the carb. part no 691742

Of all the used mowers I have sold I have never had but one complaint. It was a Craftsman mower with a twin Kohler and the ignition module went out on it. Not my fault. But fixed it anyway.

Whether the engine has to be removed to replace the seal or not depends on the on the mower. Some of the John deere mowers you have to remove the engines. Had a customer bring in one of their zero turns and I thought no problem. Boy, was I wrong there was just enough room in the frame for the...

When choosing between electrical grease and dielectric grease, consider the specific application and requirements. For applications requiring conductivity and lubrication, electrical grease may be appropriate. For protecting electrical connections from moisture and corrosion, dielectric grease...

I just pulled a carb off a Dixie Chopper XFG2700 year 2003 with a 27 HP Generac. Took the bowl off the carb and looked at the jets the no 1 cylinder jet is 130 no 2 cylinder best as I can tell is 138

What is the serial no. of the mower. Flip the first two digits of the serial and that is the year it was made. Also, what is the model of the mower? The problem is to meet the EPA emission standards around 2011 or 20012 instead of redesigning the engine. Generac just leaned the carb which made...

Dixie Chopper has setup that two blades they have an x blade and an h or a t blade. Never cared for it myself but never mowed with it long enough to know how it would work.

There is not tension on the short belt it has a spring on the arm that put tension on the belt. IPL does not show it were you can tell where it goes. I think it item no 25 on the IPL. It hooks on the idler arm and pulls the idler toward the frame on the right side there is a large hole with a...

Gator blades are good for leaves

I like the Right Stuff by Permatex this also what Kohler recommends

Dixie Chopper Z2 is really nice mower you may pay a little more up front but well worth the money. Comes in regular Z2 and Z2 HP

I take the price I had to give for it plus the parts at retail plus the labor it would cost to fix it plus a little more for me.

Engine over heated valve guides came loose causing valves not to fully open and bending push rods. In that case will need to replace heads and a cam shaft. Had one the push rod got into the crankcase and bent it looking like a paper clip laying on top of the cam gear and did not hurt...

Makes up for where I can't get a good discount. I guess if you look at it like that but instead of charging him $389.95, I saved him $230.00. All in the way you look at it.

I am working on a Dixie chopper Iron Eagle that has a blown governor where the governor pin is wallowed out in the block. Anyone know of a fix for this other than an engine replacement. Almost have it ready to sell.

I am just a retiree that has been doing this for 49 years. Buy a lot of parts from where I used to work that is a hardware store that sells Stihl. and Dixie Chopper. I buy a lot of JD parts off Ebay and Amazon. MTD and Husqvarna parts as well. When CC wants $129.95 for one spindle and you can...

Since The cheapest MTD mower is over $2200.00 and the Husqvarna is $2899.99 what would be a fair price for a good used mower? Around here if I ask $500.00 for one, they think you are trying to rob them. I don't sell junk I go over them and fix whatever it needs. Never have had but one complaint...

Cheapest basic MTD is over $2000.00 Husqvarna 46-inch cut 22 HP is $2899.99

Was not that lucky. Ground up the magnets and wiped out the stator even burnt up the regulator terminals. Yes, I have seen that done. But have not tried it myself have a friend that did a couple for me. Worked fine. If I run into again will do it myself.

Best zero turn I have seen for a hill is one with a steering wheel like the Cub Cadets. I have always said they made the zero turn mowers wrong. The caster wheels should be in the back. Caster wheels are not made to lead they follow.

Anyway, she called me to let me know she had mowed her whole yard, she has a large yard. She was really tickled to get it mowed.

Just did a hustler super Z a widow lady has that someone else starter to work on and quit. Kohler CV740 that had a SAM box on it. He took the SAM box off which he did not have to do. Pain in the arse to get those tiny screws back on. Magnets had come loose on the fly wheel and ruined the stator...

Where I use to work did a PDI on every mower that went out the door. We had very few come backs.

Kawasaki does not specify a 5-hour oil change any more.

You have to understand how to operate the Snapper RER. You always start out in 1st speed you then shift to higher speeds without clutching it. Just slowly move the shift lever to the speed you want operate at. If you start out at any speed above 2nd speed it can jump, and you could chunk rubber...

why does Briggs use aluminum push rods? Do you know of any other manufacturer that uses them?

The s as far as I know mean it is a single part and nothing to do with the quality of the filter.

Kohler has a 300, hour extended life 10W-50 synthetic oil.

No, it would have to have a hole in the fuel line or a bad check valve in the carburetor. If it runs after you put the fuel in the cylinder it would not be a hole in the fuel line.
