Here's the tread on mine. Just for comparison.

OK, now I think you're mocking me. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I talked to Terry. He said best bet is to pull the wheel motor off and send it to them to rebuild, should run around $120. I new wheel motor would run around $500. He said I could probably install the seal kit myself, but they have the means to pressure test it afterwards.
I took it to a local Briggs and Stratton repair shop that also rents and repairs Toro Dingo's (ie. they were quite familiar with a very mechanically similar piece of equipment). Even with that, I still think I financed some of their Power-trac education. I think I'll take the route that I know will work: shipping it to PT for a rebuild!

There's always the other proven alternative. Buy a 55 gal. drum of 10W40 -- and maybe a bucket of oil dry and a broom. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

<font color="red"> is this sucker just wedged on there, or is there an additional fastener somewhere? </font>
There's always another bolt. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Heard about a guy once who used a cold chisel to take the head off an engine. Must have been the gasket cement, thought he, since he'd taken out all the head bolts -- except that one row. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
