    1999 Grasshopper 725 - How do I remove the deck lift switch from control arm?

    Thanks @4getgto - you're absolutely correct. The switch is factory-installed, and Grasshopper just confirmed that they are in fact rivets. Basically suggested I drill them out, disconnect the switch wires, pull the foam grip into place, poke the wires back through the new foam, reconnect the...

    1999 Grasshopper 725 - How do I remove the deck lift switch from control arm?

    Yes, very much like that. I got one on just fine, but the other one needs to go past the switch used to activate the deck lift. It should be easy, but I can't figure out how to get it off there. I've tried phillips head, torx head, allen wrench without success. Any ideas would be much...

    Sump removal question on B&S 8.75

    My motor worked its way loose, and vibration broke the lower sump. Motor is off the mower, with drive pulley removed and 7 retaining bolts removed. However, it appears there is still one bolt (maybe more?) holding the sump on. This one screws down from the top, so I am not able to see what...
