After you verify valve adjustment, redo compression test, then do a "Wet Compression Test" Will verify if rings or valves ar the problem.

I have had this mower for about 10 years. It is a 2004 Yazoo-Kees, Kohler Command Pro CV750. I tend to agree about the starter maybe not disengaging.

What is the normal high temperature for an engine? The reason I ask is a month back while cutting grass on my zero turn I smelled hot oil. Stopped and found the oil fill tube melted and oil splashing out. It is right next to the starter and the starter was so hot it would burn if touched. I...

Front drive shaft is inside a sleeve and captured with a splined coupling on each end. To remove the drive shaft, jack/support the front end, remove the 2 pivot trunions that attach the front end to the frame. Roll the front end forward and the sleeve and drive shaft should just about fall...

I see a bunch of chewed up teeth in the photo.

The lift went down once with the head removed. Remove it again. DO NOT crank the tractor without everything in the correct place/assembled. With the head removed try the arms with only your body weight. If they go down, then the piston moved in to a position you may be able to remove it and...

You will need to remove the plate with the knob in front and below the seat. See photo. That will give view of the lift piston and if it is removed there is no hydraulic way to hold up the lift. Check the shaft that the lift arms attach to. Is it centered, will it move any? You may be able...

There is a rebuild kit for the pump

Yes, be careful it doesn't start. Some tractors have a viewport for the clutch. If it does you can block the clutch pedal down and maybe use a thin piece of wood to tap the clutch disk or a puddy knife. Not too hard as may cause damage

If you have enough travel on the clutch and it does not release then it is probably stuck/frozen to the flywheel or pressure plate. It can be broken free. Usually you would put something on the 3 point hitch that places a lot of drag on the tractor, even a brush mower cutting high grass. Then...

When you remove the top plate, check to see if the shifter will move. Sometimes there is a spring detent ball that is stuck. Or check your gears to see if they are stuck, and why.

The whirring/whistling is probably a throw-out bearing going bad. Will the clutch release if in gear? There are times when the clutch disk will get stuck to the flywheel or pressure plate. Some owners will put a block under the clutch pedal to disengage when not in use.
