If it is a briggs, kohler, honda, you can get the numbers off the engine and get one from any dealer. If kawasaki they you will have to go to JD.

Thanks, Okiepc. I just bought the SRX75 Saturday. The ad said "$175, needs some work." Today I tinkered with it a little. You are right --- it is the Kawasaki engine, 9hp (code FC290V-CS10). I drained the oil. It had lots of gasoline in it. I figured the needle and seat failed causing that. Can I just get a new needle and seat? Or, do I have to get the expensive carburetor rebuild kit from JD? Another question: I'm puzzled why I can't see the oil level on the dipstick to come up to normal. I put in one fresh quart, then kept adding and checking. After two quarts were put in, the dipstick still showed only about a quarter inch. Could the previous owner have badly damaged something by running it with gas in the oil? :eek: He said it started smoking, and he turned it off immediately. I know nothing about this mower. :confused2: I need an owners manual and a factory service manual --- was hoping I could download them in the form of a pdf online, but I haven't been able to find them. ..... Found hundreds of pages of Lawn Boy data, though. Old two cycle Lawn Boys are fantastic little machines that last a long, long time.

I looked at my service manual & it states the SRX75 oil capacity is 1.16 quarts or 1.1 L, so where is the oil going?:eek:

Thanks, okiepc. I stopped at a large JD dealership in McKinney, Tx on the way home after I bought the SRX75. They didn't have the carb kit or manuals for it. They said they could order them. It was much too expensive for me. I'm retired living on a small SS budget. I hope I can get my SRX75 running without spending much. It has become difficult for me to use a push mower. I'm using a lightweight, 19" Lawn Boy. It's great, but I'm feeling my age. Where are you in Oklahoma? I'm in Texas, just about 40 minutes south of the Red River.

Thanks, okiepc. Meantime, I'll post a few questions to see if some fellows can help me figure out what's wrong with my John Deere SRX75. It certainly seems to be ruggedly built. I was impressed. I sure hope I can get mine running again.
