Yes, I have that same breakdown you have above and I have been assembling in the same fashion. By extra set of washers, I meant that I did a 2 for 2 swap. Examining the old ones, I noticed they didn't have the same camber (cup look) as the new ones. I'll admit that I haven't been torquing...

Yes, I had an extra set of washers and installed them last time the blade loosened. It worked for a couple of cuts, but loosened up again. I didn't think about blade thickness, so that is someting else to investigate. For now, I'll pull the spindle and see what kind of condition the bearings...

I've got the rck60p-33 deck on the above mower. Having an issue with one of the blades loosening up after an hour or so of cutting. I am pretty good about blowing of the deck after each cut and greasing the spindles as needed. I'm thinking this is a sign of the spindle bearings going bad...

I’m a facility manager at a technical college that has a good diesel program. I’m confident of our resources, but I also understand parts are pricey, and there may be unforeseen issues, once we tear into it. Thanks!

That’s good stuff man, thanks!

Good Evening Everyone! I just stumbled across an auction for a '16 MX5200HST that has a post which reads: Note: Engine will not crank. Blown engine. Has hydrostat transmission. Unknown diagnostics. If it truly has a blown engine, is it worth rebuilding? Also, what would be the maximum bid...

I agree, and I’ve had other machines where those switches have caused problems. Haven’t solved the issue yet, but will keep digging. Thanks

Yes, it acts just like a safety switch opening. Definitely could be a wiring issue per Lugbolt above. I appreciate everyone's input!

Yes, I had changed the fuel filters, but it wouldn't hurt to do it again, especially if there's a good bit of trash in there. I will definitely go through all the wiring, given the starter and also a non functioning fuel gauge on the left tank I hadn't mentioned.

I have a used zd326 I recently picked up at auction. It does have issues starting, and I read a related post in the forum, and I will try those suggestions. After I do get it started, the machine runs fine, and cuts fine. I was cutting for about 2 hours and wanted to take a break. I...

It definitely seems to small to mess with at this point. I did not see any evidence of oil sprayed on the fan belt like you did, so I'd maybe rule out a pulley oil seal. The only concerning thing is that the machine is a relatively young 750 hrs. A technician at the dealership suspects the...

Hey Everyone- I was following your post Woodsy in an attempt to troubleshoot an oil leak of my own. I just purchased a used MX5100 with a moderate oil leak showing up at or around the front axle pivot. Per Kabotafreak, the oil could be the original UDT in the axle bypassing an oring or seal...

Appreciate your input friend!

I’ve read posts regarding oil leaks on the front axle pivot possibly due to o rings going bad. In my case, the oil seems dark and lighter than the 80w/90, but I could be wrong. Is there any chance this could be coming from the engine? From what I can tell, I don’t see any evidence of leaking oil...
