The tip of my ring finger was knocked almost all the way off due to beech crotch unloading like that. Being younger and dumber, I used black tape to bind it. I thought it would die and have to be taken off, but it healed; sort of. It looks normal, but sometimes feels like I could shake it off...
The 750 has polypropolene tank. I suspect the deteriorated fuel lines have passed enough crud into the tank to impeed fuel flow. Clean the tank, replace any remaining old lines, purge the bleeders again. The frothy discharge you may have noticed at the injector bleed may indicate air intering...
Follow-up: When I called my dealership to price the OE fuel pump, I was told $140.00 plus tax. I thanked him kindly. Ordered another generic for $11.59 with free shipping plus tax. They are same/similar low pressure pumps, but I will have to adapt the electric connection if/when I need it.

Full tank of fresh gasoline. Tank, and lines had been flushed this past summer. Fuel pump fuse good. electric connection at pump 12.45V. Removed pump and direct connected to 12V and nothing. Of course the tractor was about 1/4 mile away from the shop tools. However, way back soon after I...
I did remove that panel and there was some dusty grime there, but not like the OP's impaction.
However, I thought while in there, I would check the switch setting. I wiped the area clean and used electronic clener to clean the switch and its mounting plate and bolts. The switch function is...
Even with round chisel I file level due to our local hard woods like oak, hickory, ash, and such. The 10 degree drop initially cuts faster, but the corner edge wears faster in hard woods, thus in working, the edge holds up better flat for me.
I, and I bet some others here, had forgotten all about that auto-stop feature. Although I also live in very steep terrain, I do not use that feature. I will take a look "in thee" next service. Glad you are back in the saddle!

I believe the OP stated it to be a "Z". The advice to check the module is correct and then there are the 2 fuse boxes. The PTO switch and seat switch are two possible fail circuits.
I understand that you believe the signal wire is consistent on the terminal to the 1 coil, but coil not firing. How does the second terminal on that coil read? I am not sure but I "think" it should be constant 12V. By what you are saying, I think I would swap those connections to one of the...
We will keep prayers coming for your Dad.
You put a new coil at 1, the cylinder closest to the rear of tractor. You say the wires feeding the coil are showing voltage, yet the coil does not get its charge to the spark plug. Very odd. Make sure the high tension wire is firmly twisted into the...
Well, my problem, which matched the OP's description, turned out to be ignition. The wire harness taking signal to the coils was damaged. New harness installation revealed the Kubuta engine control module (ECM) was also damaged. The new ECM and harness did the trick. Odd how suddenly this...
phunter; ya dun wint an' jinxed me. lol
I put a long day in HOT weather this past Wednesday mowing tall field fescue. Later in the afternoon I had finished about 11 acres with about 2+ acres to go and my fine running machine suddenly, under only modest load at 3,200RPM, started missing badly...
If I Recall Correctly (always thin ice) the engine oil starvation due to excess slope varies among the engine choices. There is also a TIME factor such that one is not to exceed the given slope for more than X minutes of time. The time allowances I recall are pretty generous such that if one...
Start simple. With engine totally cool, remove the spark plug boots by slightly twisting as you pull. They should be numbered 1-2-3, if not lable them. Use compressed air, even canned air is OK, to blow out the spark plug wells. Remove the spark plugs and inspect for cracked ceramics...
At about 750+ hours my original drive belt shredded into many itty-bitty pieces of cording and rubber. Must have come off the rear groove and tangled with the keeper. I had a spare and replacement on the 4500Z was a breeze, but I did get some extra clearance by removing three front grill...
Excellent find. Odd for such a quality engiine to be out that much so soon.
In the event you run into a potentially clogged fuel outlet again, remove the line from the entry of the fuel filter and blow back into the tank with air blast to clear the line. As slow as your fuel drained, you may...
Mine is a "Z" and I have my tires loaded and the mid weight kit. BUt even before adding the extra weight, 30 or 35 slope was a cake walk. I mow slopes steeper than that routinely, but I am not saying such is "safe", it is NOT safe. Mine does slide sideways at times and the outer front ATV...
Fits just as he shows in the video. To install and have it to stay in, the fuel cap retainer would need to be removed. I think it more practical to use just during use of transfer pump.

Regarding the threads recently about unexpected stalls that at least some have been from solid objects or semi-solid objects in the fuel tank blocking the fuel exit or fuel line, I noticed this YouTube from Messicks:
So I ordered one and will see if it fits properly when I get back to the...
I had never heard of a euchered engine before; I reckon it means shot rings and scored cylinders and such. From the French word "euchre" as in defeated???
Before tearing it down I would investigate. Check the coolant and dump the oil and check that too for contamination. If those check out...
SwampDog posted the above referenced thread some time back. Yesterday, I noticed a youtube by "HeartBreakOrchard" or similar with same symptoms. That video maker determined fuel starvation before the fuel filter. He removed the tank and cleaned that finding dirt and what looks like...
I have one area of about 2 acres that is STEEP and it has been wet. The grass there has been damaged by the ATV type cleats of the Ventrac duals, so I am letting it go to seed plus some seed I applied early spring. The seed tops will be ripe in about 10 more days, then I will use the tough...
I mow with my Ventrac 72" new model finish deck at its highest postion, nominal 5". I mow the acre + around the house weekly and the fields get mowed when they are about 8" or higher. In spring or wet times those fields grow faster, in dry times quite slow. The 4500Z seems to not suffer...
I noticed regular grade gasoline (E-10) at $4.15 here this morning. Up from $3.75 last Saturday at two local Exxon stations. No option for sober gas here and no option for off road gasoline. Diesel is CRAZY out of line at $4.17/gal! There is off road here for diesel, but a 40 mile round trip...
Yep, I finally noticed that Randy mentioned a similar problem with his injected model and that is where my confusion sourced. On track now. One added worry is when E-15 is the norm, these problems will escalate and no pure gas in my area. May have to consider propane...

I hope it holds up to heavy use for you. There is quite a bit of front to back stress when loading/unloading heavy rolling loads. My trailer is aluminum too, but no onboard jacks. I cut two 6X6 blocks to about an inch and a half less than level loaded frame height. Not as handy, but serves.

I got a bit confused in this thread. I thought we were discussing 4500Z and then I noticed we were talking fuel injection on the Kawa motor. But, the culprit seems to be consistent; fuel starvation due to dirty and or wet fuel blocking filters, vents, and/or fuel lines.

I had a tiny seepage three years ago from right front axle nuts being slightly loose. I cranked them down to a very precise torque speck (as damed tight as I could muster) and no more seep. Difficult to acces the top few bolts, but do-able. First check all hydraulic connections you can trace...
The large boughs I mentioned earlier were later followed by the falling of the source; a giant red oak (black oak) fell into my field from the property line. 64" across the butt at 4' up. I cut it up into chunks that would just barely fit into the power bucket. Even using full spring loaded...
Saw my first $3.999 gas sign today. Other stations were $3.899 and some still $3.599. I started a motorcycle ride with gas I purchased last Wednesday for $3.249 and rode about 225 miles, filing up with the $3.599 fuel at day's end.
Well, given your belt is tensioned proper and you have the correct belt; I would first check that pesky belt guard that tends to get bent. It may be levering the belt off. If that is OK, check the sheeves for string or vines wrapped aroung their grooves. I don't think there is much chance of...
I recall that a good while back our member "Murphy" (IIRC) reported his install of a better suspension seat and I almost followed up to get the product he used. My Z came with the "upgraded" suspension seat; I have tried all of the various pre-laod spring settings and that thing is and has been...

I don't know about that "original dirt". Around here most of the undisturbed soil is clay and shale and is tough to dig with most anything. Sandy loam would be EZ-Peazy. Muck is easy to dig, hard to lift by the bucket full. I notice the recent storm dropped some tree bowes onto the upper...
I think I cheat the system. ;-)
The bucket slides under the load at ground level. The front main hydraulics give a bit of lift even as it stalls out, but then the curl cylinders roll the bucket back giving a bit of ground clearance. At that point, with the weight further back, the main...
