I know - just giving the razzing back.

I know how to unbolt it :rolleyes: The issue is that it seems way longer than the space available to pull it out. I figured someone here may have taken one out and had a tip or trick or even just a "It'll come out in the space available." I guess I will see.

My starter is bad so I ordered a new on. Where it is located it looked, at least from the top, to be an easy fix. I took the front off and now it doesn't look quite as easy. Would I just take out the dynamo to make room? That piece blocking it is bolted on in 6 places, two of which are...

Are there any replacement gears for this mower deck that are a better deal than the $366 set on Messics? I haven't taken it all apart yet but I am going to assume the bearings will also need changed. This will bring it up to almost $500. The people that had this deck before us apparently didn't...

Thanks

Picked up the 80w-90 that it should take from the shelf but there was oil all over it so I put it back and grabbed the one behind it. Didn't even think to look. Got home put it in and then grabbed the bottle to put it up and saw that it was 85w-140 instead of the 80w-90 that I needed. Do I...

Woo Hoo. New O-Rings in, tractor put back together, no leaks, grass mowed! All is good in the world. Thanks all!

Yeah my bad - new on top old on bottom.

They are Kubota O Rings ordered from Messick's. Correct part numbers on packages so I am gonna assume they are. They are the same diameter but the old ones are flat and these are still round.

Sure will!

Good idea. That way the next person that has to do this will have an easier time because I'm not doing it again! :oops:

Thanks. The sleeve is only $9 so that is good! Almost everything else I've had to buy for it was $$$

Well I guess I will have to take off the fuel tank too! Thanks.

I would too if we had one! I even called my closes Kubota repair place and they said they didn't know how to take it off and that they could look at and see but they were weeks behind and I don't have a way to transport it to them right now.
