The CH20 in my GT2544 starting burning oil on the right side and smoking a lot. (see pic of right plug) It has less than 200 hours on it. I don't have a leak down gauge, so I haven't been able to do that yet. I checked vacuum at the dipstick tube and it was fluctuating around 1-2". I heard...

Does anyone know which flywheel part numbers are compatible? Apparently the replacement ring gears are no longer available. This is a Briggs 303447 1279-E1 on a 3165. Are the 18hp flywheels different? I may want to repower with a new short block.

In working on this old 3165, I am trying to restore the front PTO back to original. The bottom pulley's rear was bent up, so they were only running a single belt on the front, and had changed the idler pulley out to what looks like a deck idler. I put a good used pulley on the PTO shaft from an...

New edition to my Cub family... I came across a deal on an old 3165 project and couldn't pass it up. It had a stater failure and sat up for a couple years. It was supposedly mowing and working fine before the starter failure and the kid working on it for the owner couldn't get the starter off...

I know this has been talked about, but I'm still undecided. I'm needed more traction for my 2544GT, esp now with all the flooding it's soft. Mainly for pushing and digging with my FEL, and later with rear attachments when I get the 3pt built. Pretty much decided on the 23X8.50-12 Mainly it's...

After using my GT2544 yesterday I had a right rear tire go down as I was getting ready to park it. I probably ran over something, but while I was checking the tire looking for a leak I found that it seems to have some play when you grab it and rock it side to side. Anyone else noticed this? I...

I was just curious how long most have had their 2500 series PTO belts lasting? I just had a couple chunks come out of mine at 51hrs, only about 3 seasons as I bought it in mid '05. The only abuse that I'm aware of was directly before it came apart maybe 10min earlier I had stalled the blades on...

I had one pull out of a front spindle, and damaged beyond repair trying to get it loose from the grease gun. What size should I get to replace them with threaded fittings?

I've been trying to find blades to fit my 2544 and like everyone else was told by the manufacturer that there was no Gator Blade to fit my model. Well, I was looking at our local Ag supply that carries a LOT of them and found one that should fit fine with no modifications. I believe they listed...

Man, that switch does look factory....nice. :) I just used what I had available, I may yet change it around again anyhow. The switch on the left is the headlight switch. I just ran a ground wire through the factory harness and cut the ground to the lights near the end of the harness and...

I started this discussion in another thread, GT2550 Minor Mods / Toolbox, about my steering rebuild and custom attachments. Recap: I've had a 2005 model GT2544 Cub for a couple years now, love it, my only gripe is the steering. I had to rebuild the steering housing, the steering shaft bushing...
