    Kubota ZG-124E / RCK48P-124Z muffler

    Update it was the battery. Even though it should not have been dead, I think my Daughter left it on. It took a few minutes to charge it up, but it works now. Thank you!

    Kubota ZG-124E / RCK48P-124Z muffler

    So I went back out to look, I do not see any wiring that is loose or damage. I did just change the start fuse because it was dirty as hell but nothing. I don't think it could be the battery because that and the solenoid I just put it, like within the year. I guess I can try to jump it...

    Kubota ZG-124E / RCK48P-124Z muffler

    Long story short, 3 out of the 4 muffler bolts loosened up and came off during its 10 years. All was good until last week when the muffler finally dropped down. Realized that was the problem, I ordered the bolts and gaskets. Slapped it together today and it started to sound like it was...

    Throttle Handle Bars on Kubota ZG-124E / RCK48P-124Z

    Can anyone with knowledge on this help me out from my post above? Must I take off the cover and all to replace the ball and spring for the arms to be smooth, or can it be done like I have in the pictures above?

    Throttle Handle Bars on Kubota ZG-124E / RCK48P-124Z

    I have to remove the bolt (#110) in the diagram above, and the picture that I just attached. I have the balls (#80) in the diagram, but need to take out the spring (#90) to match up at a hardware store. My question is bolt 110 is in a tight spot, and the bolt is tight. Best approach to it...

    Throttle Handle Bars on Kubota ZG-124E / RCK48P-124Z

    First and foremost thank you for the detailed response. 1 Bold) Can I purchase that ball and spring at a general hardware store or Lowes / Home Depot? 2 Bold) What / Where is the linkage? I am double guessing that it is: in this pic and the item list as "A" that stops the handles...

    Throttle Handle Bars on Kubota ZG-124E / RCK48P-124Z

    As you can tell. The left bar is bent. For some reason, that bar had gotten so tough to move in / out of neutral. Felt like it was rusty, or grinding / popping sound when trying. I had to use some force, which you can see. Dry lube helps for a limited time. Any thoughts on what, why it...

    PTO gone bad?

    Well, here is what happen. I inspected and blew air into the PTO button and connector. I got the clutch on. The wiring is right now rigged to the new clutch connector. Mower would start, but the blades would not turn on. Simple solution was the PTO fuse (under seat) blew when the old...

    PTO gone bad?

    Actually I just thought of this. Can I cut off the old electric clutch wires and use that to extend? That would save time. They should not be damaged or shorted should they? I just need to know what kind of butt plugs those are on the first pic.

    PTO gone bad?

    [/url][/IMG] So I got the clutch back on, but the blades are not turning on. I tried putting those ends back into the case (lying on the side,) but I do not think they are making contact with the new clutch side. I think (I know) it has to do when the clutch arm bar broke it spun and ripped...

    PTO gone bad?

    How does one hold the crank from spinning when torquing the clutch bolt. Last time I took off I had no problem wedging a 32mm wrench against the roll cage. Not so much this time. Any other tips? I have a 32mm socket but it is not deep enough. I have the torque ext kit from harbor freight add...

    PTO gone bad?

    Do you have links and pictures to these so I can see if they are different? As far as I know, I do not have anything upgraded. I was having problem end of year with my mower constantly shutting off. Leading me to think it was gas related. Well, it was, and the man at Messick's said it was...

    PTO gone bad?

    What updates are you referring to? Messicks does not have pto switch in stock as I live close to them for the online orders to ship to that store. It will take a week to get there. I may hold off on that. I am assuming the harness extension is for the clutch to relay starter? Do you have...

    PTO gone bad?

    [/url][/IMG] This most likely means that I need to purchase part 170?

    PTO gone bad?

    OK I don't think the cables matter but I checked the ohms both ways and got a reading of 1. All I did was stick prongs into the female wire of clutch, that is correct way right? Also that belt is new, I replaced it last July along with two pulleys on the deck. I posted this back in April...
