Tom - I took the "...instructions to check spindles." to imply he's talking about the mower deck belt. I agree you that there have been issues with belts on the 42" decks, especially the single belt configuration. Mostly mis-routing in my experience. Belt guides not installed correctly and worn...

Temp sender could be fine on both engines. Could be a wiring fault on your new machine. Have you checked for continuity (or grounding, as per Oldnslo's suggestion) ?

Welcome. Could you explain this sentence please ? It seems a bit confusing. If you're "doing nothing that the tractor wasn't designed to do" (A double negative) then you were doing something that the tractor was designed to do - So surely the warranty comes into play ?

That's a fairly pathetic comment imo. There have been 4 instances of failure reported from the several thousand items sold. Kawasaki just recalled their engines for a fire risk. (Not for the first time, in my experience) and you see no reason to castigate them for "cutting corners" somewhere -...

That's the Part No. I found, yes. Thanks for posting this, Ruffdog. I have informed an affected owner I know of, down here.

Try removing the thermostat and running the engine.

Nothing wrong with Makita products down here. Where do you get your misinformation from?

Congrat's. This is a great initiative. Best wishes for your ongoing successes.

Refill with standard gear oil - EP80 or 90 weight.

That bearing cap and drain plug placement is arguably one of the worst mechanical engineering design failures in mowing history. Surpassed only, perhaps, by the feebly weak steering tie rod which bends at the slightest provocation. I see there is an upgraded tie rod kit as a replacement part on...

As per Doug, above. The cap holds the vertical driveshaft and bearings in place. Best not to disturb unless necessary. or... Remove the wheel from the hub. Undo the 5 (I think) bolts around the final drive housing cover plate and take the cover plate off with the hub itself. All your oil will...

I have found the new (to us, anyway) tri-colour line from Stihl to be particularly strong. It has Black/Grey/Orange stripes.

This thread was a great post when Moss first posted it - Just for that aerial picture alone. Welcome to TBN, Almostheaven. "Tractor: All of them" (!) Love it.

Why do you 'want to replace' the ignition coil ?

Correct - M141785 Suggest the OP buys 3x new Concave Washers also. # M123522

On this model (and LT166) The plate carrying the two tensioning idlers pivots when the Brake Pedal is depressed, causing the drive to release when the brake is applied. Heavier brake pedal double-spring over-rides the lighter belt tension spring.

No.#17 is the guide for the deck belt on the front (Crankshaft) pulley. There are two versions depending on deck width and these are noted in the Parts List. OP says his issue is with Transmission belt coming off at the Rear pulley.

I suspect you've either mis-routed or are missing the shaped wire belt guide which fits across the rear of the chassis and over the transmission pulley. Part No. M147132 Item #4: https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/66977/referrer/navigation/pgId/80686474

I have the 18V Brushless MAKITA 3/4" Impact Wrench for two main reasons: 1. I have other Makita tools so plenty of batteries and chargers. 2. The Makita is (was at the time) the only one with an anti-vibe rubberised mount between the handle and the battery connection. Apparently that protects...

I don't think the X370 has a Diff Lock.

My dealer here in NZ shows the valve as "Available to Order". NZ$3,700 + Tax

Looks tidy, low hours, decent deck, Service history... If the seller seems reputable - Grab it. You can always re-sell it if you don't like it. (For the Americans - Gumtree is an Australian equivalent to Craigs List -ish)

Pic 1 shows the mower deck still has its VIN sticker. Another Pic, (7), shows a Dealer sticker. Most likely the original selling dealer. (Martin Bros.) A phonecall or email will be able to determine the selling date as they will have recorded the serial number of the deck and that of the...

JD Customer Support are correct - Go back to your dealer. Bypass the 'Parts' counter and find a salesman - The complete deck is considered "Wholegoods" and is ordered by the salesman using a "BMxxxxxx" part number. Yes, 'Parts' can supply the components. 'Sales' supply the whole unit. You can...

Here endeth the lesson... "Battery checks out fine" is one of the most frequent misnomers we see here. The battery didn't "check out fine" Voltage does not confirm amperage under load. The OP now advises that the voltage is 11.9v. For a 12v battery, that is not "Checking out 'fine' " at all...

Carb may fit the mounting on the Mantis but how do you know the jet sizes etc. are correct?

Good. I'm still enjoying your adventures. Keep the pic's coming.

"Came from..." So it's not on a mower now? What is on the crankshaft now? No rotating mass? Are you pulling the rope hard and fast?

Well, it's not rocket science to obtain 'spark'. You need the rotating magnet (flywheel) - ignoring the keyway, as timing is another issue. You need an armature assembly (Your coil on its laminated iron core). Correct air gap between coil and flywheel. You DO have an air gap - Yes? (0.010"...

No mention of replacing the Spark Plug... Take a Spark Plug (Any spark plug) out of a known running engine so you know it's a 'good' plug. One with some black soot is best as it shows the spark more easily. Ground that on the outside of the engine as you pull the rope. Do this with the original...

It's been a great thread to read. Thanks for the entertainment and your photo's have been fascinating. I hope the machines go to good homes.

No, not really. The 'tip' is to recognise when it is blowing. In your 6th photo of the cylinder cross-hatching you can see the blown area right there at 3-o'clock between the cylinder and the pushrod cavity. Understand that this is a design issue where there is no head bolt in that area at all...

When re-installing the engine lock the Parking Brake pedal - This removes the tension on the transmission belt and makes the installation of the drive pulley easy. It may be also easier for you to remove the exhaust pipe and re-fit it after the engine is mounted back on the chassis.

Hi BX Don't rush to rip into your engine with rings etc. The oil on the frame and blow-by are the classic symptoms of a blown head gasket on that engine. No biggie and an easy repair. Notice that the oil on the frame (Chassis) will be coming from the breather gauze in the vacuum fuel pump in the...

The fender deck will be fine. Minor rust and very repairable. I did see your other Deck Repair Fail thread - It was clear that there were areas close to your 'cut line' that were too thin for a successful weld and you could have gone wider to get to more solid metal. The idler bracket being...

Hi, Welcome to TBN. I have no experience with these spreaders but I'm looking at the Parts diagram - It seems the hub runs on the straight axle using simple Oilite bushes. So if you've got the hubcap off you should see the retainer of some sort and once that's removed you're into wiggle & tug...

In the photo's posted by the OP the bushing (#29) is seen to be 'inboard' of the Draft Arm (#18) which is incorrect. (Most clearly seen in the pic in Post #4.) Both sides (L&R) Easily remedied.

Note the location of Spacer Bushing (#29) in the diagram. It should be outboard of the Draft Arm (#18) as shown in the diagram posted by 'BeenThere'.

Rather than Glow Plugs I think the 3520 has the Air Intake Heater device on top of the intake manifold, A single wire connects to the terminal. You need to verify if the heater is actually working. Test for power at the connection to the heater when you press the key in. (Multi-meter or Test light)

Phew!

It would be helpful if you could provide more info. What's "a certain RPM"? How old is it? How many hours? Service history. These WAMs suffer from overheating and radiator fin clearance is needed constantly.

It's a known issue. Age related. The crankshaft seal can leak and manifests as you describe. Not hard to fix. Remove hood. Remove battery. Unbolt flywheel. That gives access to the seal in its carrier housing. Remove housing and seal complete. Replace seal. Press fit. Reassemble in reverse...

Just a query: As I recall the MFWD shaft in question is unsupported other than by the splined couplers at either end. If a roll pin is broken (Missing) and the shaft is able to move far enough to disengage the splines at one end - its weight and lack of support would probably make it drop/fall...

To follow-up. This remedy (from 'tomchiz') was an exact solution to the problem. The wiring schematic explains the situation precisely. If you turn the ignition to 'Run' you hear the Fuel Shut-off Solenoid (FSS) activate.(A heavy 'Click') - So you know the 'Pull' circuit is ok. A second later...

Thankyou for this detailed post & photo. I'm hoping it solves my similar problem. (A possible difference between the 2210 and the 2305 is I don't think the 2305 has the Thermistor component. Can anyone confirm?)

That collar was the locking mechanism. As mentioned in Post #3 & #4 the collar is an eccentric cam locking device. There are several threads on TBN already discussing this. Also Google is your friend. Learn how the eccentric concept works to ensure your reassembly is successful.

First - Install 2x new sparkplugs.

Unnecessarily nasty comment - We all know what the OP meant. I appreciate him posting and the follow-up photo's ongoing. You might like to apologise.

It appears you have the pre-engaged type of starter. Hence the reading of Battery voltage at the solenoid terminal. The buzzing usually indicates, i my experience, a flat battery, Try a jump-start or replace the battery. ?

The clue is in your use of the phrase "Paper thin" The bolts used to mount the spindle housings are serrated on the underside of the flange (Check yours) and I believe what you show in the photo is just a paint flake that has come off the deck when you unscrewed the bolt above it. Because it...

Welcome to TBN, Justin. For future queries- The relevent statistic is the 'hours' as S219 says, below. I agree, that flakes aren't unusual - But worth keeping an eye on. Change the oil across the front axle in all compartments. Check levels regularly and change again when you change engine...

Apologies for the delay. I've upgraded my laptop and yes, the pic's are there. They are of the oil seal for the Mid-PTO on a 1026R (And other models.) My query was related to the installation of this oil seal which has a metal outer shield integral with the seal itself. I hadn't seen this type...

Your logic is flawed and you are already telling us the Brake switch is functional as there is a change in engine RPM when you release the brake - From running to zero. The Brake switch is therefore operative. If you are sitting on the seat and then release the brake the engine should continue...

Accuracy is vital when looking for parts information. I can't find a D104 model as per your original post. However, I notice Beenthere has located a D105 which you confirm shows the part next to the spring #5 in the diagram. So the part adjacent to #5 is included in the rectangular box #4 which...
