Page 26 of the Kawasaki FS600V manual says 1.7 liters or 1.8 U.S. qts. when oil filter is removed. The stick shows full with 2 qts. Not a big deal. I do a lot of cars and oil capacity isn't always correct in the owners manual. Yeah the CYA angle is probably right but wondering if the bypass...

Or somebody that knows the answer. I'm an auto mechanic not familiar with JD tractor transmissions. The service manual on my S240 says starting the engine with the bypass engagement rod (back of the machine) in the disengaged position can damage the transmission. What is the issue with this...

Does anyone know where I can find plans to build/weld up a rack or device to attach to my automotive lift to lift my S240? Thanks

Basically I was after the heavy aluminum deck, the 4 cycle Suzuki was a bonus. My Mother bought the next model up with a key start. Battery didn't last long and wound up being a pull start.

Yeah I just about crapped when I saw the price but It's a quality machine. The ONLY parts I've replaced in 29 years is a front wheel bolt/axle and an idler pulley with a worn bearing for the blade drive belt..

Model number is 26623. I bought this new in Sept. 1990. The Toro parts manual and info is at the bottom of the post, Just click on it. Toro Parts https://www.toro.com/en/parts/partdetails/?id=2027

The Suzuki engine in my Toro lawnmower is a 4 stroke. Doesn't burn any oil at all, starts on the first pull.

Thanks for spending the time with all of this info. Believe me I'm not stressing at all. I use a high zinc content oil in some of the flat tappet engines I work on because of cam break in issues. I have a Toro 21 inch lawnmower with a Suzuki engine it and is 26 years old. Doesn't burn a drop...

Ok! I'll bite. Why is it apart? I've been an auto mechanic / machinist for 46 years and build engines of all kinds BUT not small engines. I'm not afraid to ask questions about things I'm not familiar with and since I'm new to riding lawn mowers I figured this would be a good place to ask...

Thanks for the reply. I asked the dealer parts guy about the oil and he did say it was break in oil but the service department couldn't confirm it. Another thing I was reading in the manual was about the grease used. I use a black Moly grease for just about everything and the manual warns...

I bought my S240 about mid summer this year and only have 6.8 hours on it. Winter showed up early this year and it's been sitting for about a month because I've been busy with other things. As an auto mechanic I don't like leaving used oil in an engine over winter storage and plan to change it...

Hello all I finally made a decision to buy a S240 this spring and it's been a good machine so far. I only have about 6 hours on it but have a concern regarding the electric clutch blade engagement. The manual says to engage the blade drive while at full engine speed. Would it not be better...

I have an opportunity to buy a brand new in the crate last years model X330 for $423.00 more than a brand new S240. The S240 is sufficient for my 1/2 acre but for $423.00 the X330 is tempting. Is the B&S 44J6 engine as good as the Kawasaki? What would you do? Opinions are welcomed. Thanks Jim

Hello all! First post here and hoping I can get some help on what to buy. I've been doing a lot of reading and can't make a decision. This will be my first riding mower. I've had JD snow blowers and really like the quality but while searching for a riding mower I had my sights set on a JD...
