Glad that was an easy fix. But @North Idaho Wolfman is right running in high gear at 1500 rpm while also mowing is putting serious strain on everything and asking for hydrostat problems. Run at pto speed especially when mowing. Thats what they are designed to do

Post a pic of your serial number so @North Idaho Wolfman can look it up. It wouldn't be a 1996 if its old style. Do the front rims have 4 lug nuts or 6? Serial number is also stamped in the tunnel by your foot

And here i thought one slipped by you 😂

If you managed to break the pto cover but not the case your insanely lucky. Haven't seen one yet that didn't have damage to the transmission case as well. Ill also say this you have to tear down and get the chunks out for many reasons. The pieces will clog up filters and suction screen, will...

First thing your post says b7100hst and your profile says b1700hst. Common mistake but they are 2 very different tractors

I have a few of them. Ill send you a message

Thank you sir

Pretty sure i have a good one. Ill send you a message

Haven't had anyone ask me that question before. Small bore and short stroke so really won't make much difference but down there will be little to no fluid in the cylinder. Head bolts are fine to reuse as long as they are in good shape.

Where did you get the new lift pump? If its a china special off amazon they are hit and miss and may very likely got a bad one.
