Fixed. Now the only other thing is , it takes about 10 seconds of the starter turning to get the engine to start when cold.

Will try the bend bar suggestion after I get the rod end. Thanks

Well have to buy a new tie rod end joint. Broke off the tie rod trying to get it off as well as an internal extractor. That F...er will not come off.

Actually IS on ebay used..will consider it if all else fails.

pics. I'm having a bear of a time trying to get one of the rod ends off. JC that thing is frozen on.

It's a flat bar not tube. Will check around..MAY not need to repair it..have to replace rod and check first.

Wondering if I can just put it in a big vice or press it straight. Not sure how precisely straight it has to be. Will take pics tonight. Looks like a clown tractor the way it is now.

Nah, she's a keeper...I've done my share of stupid things and she puts up with it.

Wife ran into a stump and bent the king pin metal bar piece that looks like a 2 x 6 steel rectangular bar. Wheels are now facing in opposite directions when trying to steer. Can this rectangle by bent back straight in order to re-use? New part is expensive. Tie rod is also bent but going to...

Solved...was the replacement belt. Went to Tractor Supply and bought another belt from them. Put it on and everything works fine. Moral of the story., all aftermarket belts are not the same. I think the one that wasn't working was slightly incorrect in size even though they said it was a direct...

PTO belt snapped. Replaced with aftermarket but the belt keeps slipping off deck spindle. Is belt size incorrect? Tension spring shot? Something I'm missing? Also there is a lot of grease/on pto spindle area..seems to be leaking. is hydro fluid supposed to be replaced in PTO and how to get to it?

Is there a common auto radiator cap replacement for the OEM one? Cheapest is $30 that I see on ebay.

OK guys it IS the slow blow fuse that is bad. Thanks. Got an unrelated issue that I could also use help on...When mower was working I really had to crank the starter for like 20 seconds before engine would start to turn over. Bought a new starter and problem is still there. I'm thinking fuel...

Fuses are good. There is volts to starter (heavy wire) but no voltage TO fuse (wait... main fuse is by itself near starter or clustered with 2 other fuses near ignition switch?

Disconnected ignition switch from harness. Measured voltage from red wire on harness side to neg battery terminal and get no voltage. Is there anything that can interupt the connection?

OK this is to remind myself for future. With belt off unhook spring pull rod and push tensioner all the way to left (if sitting on tractor) Belt loops should be on right side of tensioner. re-hook pull rod.

I am having a brain fart again..can someone actually take a pic of the drive belt on the tractor so I can get a better idea of what is going on. Sitting on tractor tensioner is to right of belts but there is not enough tension this way. If I try it on the left there is too much tension and does...

Takes about 10-20 sec of turning key and holding before I finally get ignition to occur. Engines turns over fine just will not start immediately. My glow light does not come on when engine key is turned on so wondering if glow plugs are working? Any other suggestions to check?

My glow plug light on dash no longer comes on and starter takes forever to get engine to start. Seems like no power to glow plugs. What is the relay or module that controls power to glow plugs. I don't really see anything on the electrical diagram

Anyone know if the center shaft key is supposed to hold the center pulley ABOVE the bearing so it does not rotate on the bearing?
