M16x1.5 is close to 3/8 npt oops very old post eh!?

Yesterday I mowed the 2nd time with my LT100 w B&S 21 swap engine. All is well except this time it wouldn't go forward gradually but suddenly grab w lever farther down. Reverse is fine. When doing swap I checked trans oil and it was up and clean. At that time I didn't know the proper level so...

All done & ready to mow. New spindle brgs & blades plus a little paint on deck. The thing was obviously meant to take various motors so easy swap. It has been temperamental in the electric safety switching. It would start but die if brake released or pto lever moved. I unplugged and jumped the...
