    slt1554 backup light won't turn on

    I have a 2005 SLT 1554 cadet, with a 27hp Kohlar, that I bought new. It has performed flawlessly for the most part. But, lately the safety back up light does not come on. Every time my wife puts it in reverse, the PTO kicks out. She pushes the PTO in, then turns it back on with the engine...

    Do suspension springs help a lot?

    I have noticed the suspension springs on some more expensive ZTRs. I have owned 4 different cheaper brands without springs, and liked them. But, they are rough riding even with pillows and a suspension seat. Some of the ads point out that you can go faster with them. That sounds likely, but...

    How long do mower blades last ?

    I bought a 10 year old Bad-Boy 60" that had a transaxle concern. The original owner maintained 7 acres with it all that time. Found out that the blades were COMPLETELY worn out, almost to a point on each end, thin and cracked. The fan blades were broken on one tranny, and guess it over...

    engine has muffled sound at times

    26 hp B&S has 500 hours on it, and runs great. A few times lately however, it has kind of a muffled sound, and decrease in power. It did that yesterday a couple of times, and then, just ran great, and normal, the rest of the day. Does this sound like it was a little obstruction of fuel flow...

    Ball bearing fell from carb? or what ??

    While taking the air filter off of my 27hp Kolar Command, this ball bearing ( looks like ), fell to the floor. I don't see anywhere else it could have come from except the carb or filter. I don't see anything like a check valve, where it could have come from. This engine is 16 years old, with...

    ZT 2200 transaxle binding up

    Bought this 54" Husky new, and been really satisfied. But now, at 480 hours, I smelled rubber from the belt slipping on the right tranny. I managed to get it in the shop with it screeching. I jacked it up, and with brake off the left wheel will move slightly, but the right one did not budge...

    blowing fuses

    Would appreciate advice about my ZT 60" Bad Boy blowing fuses. It sure seems like when I pull back on the right control lever, is when it happens. I have studied the wiring harness, and anything else visible, but, even after replacing many fuses, it still does it. Runs great, until I pull...

    ZT 60" blows fuses

    I love my 2008 60" ZT with a 26hp B & S. It has 1200 hours on it, and runs like new. But, often it blows the main fuse. It seems like sometimes, when I pull the right lever back that it blows. It did not do it yesterday during 2 hours of mowing. I pulled back on the right lever figuring it...

    No power to starting solenoid on ZT 60

    There was no response when I turned the key to start position yesterday, like there was no battery. But, when I jumped the post on the solenoid, the starter spun the motor just fine. I have not found the schematic diagram, but suspect the switch itself, or a relay. I just tested for 12 volts...

    Stihl trimmer bogs and dies

    This 7 year old trimmer began bogging down and dying. Figuring it was fuel supply, I installed a new carb., fuel lines, bulb, plug, and it has a LOT of compression. Figured it would be good to go. No ------it just acted the same way. No amount of carb. adjusting can keep it running. The...

    26 hp intek belching after getting hot

    Was mowing tall grass on a 90 degree day, with throttle nearly open, and afterwards noticed that this 26 hp intek started belching frequently. It doesn't exactly sound like a back fire, but on that order. It starts and mows fine, and when running at slow speeds, or idle, it is not as...
