    Sluggish Reverse

    Look on your Fwd/Rev pedal and see if there is a set bolt that limits how far you can push the pedal in reverse (the B6200 HST has one). The more it is unscrewed the faster you will go in reverse. If it has one maybe try and back it off a bit and see if that improves things.

    The tachometer on the dashboard will display the engine RPM. It will also indicate the appropriate engine RPM to obtain the required 540 RPM on the PTO shaft. I'm not sure about your particular model but its probably designed to run the engine at about 2400 to 2700 RPM to get 540 on the PTO...

    Fan Belt Replace With Frt Mt Hyd Pump - B7100

    Yes the chains can be split. There should be a master link on each one. They aren't fun due to the tight work area, especially if they're rusty. Option 2 is to drop the pump but then you still have to get the sprocket off the pump input shaft. Option 3 is you might be able to disconnect all pump...

    Fluid in finish mower gear box?

    If you didn't flush the gear box (with diesel or solvent) after draining that milky oil out, you might want to replace that oil a second time in case there was still any moisture left in the residue that remained inside the gear box after draining it. It doesn't take much moisture to contaminate...

    3pt Hitch Lever Won't Stay Up - B1750HST

    You don't have to grip the shaft to slide the handle off. If the handle is still on the shaft then they are already aligned. The handle and shaft are supposed to rotate together, but to separate the two, you have to pull the handle straight off the end of the shaft, or the close tolerances...

    Diesel Exhaust Residue

    Its available at a lot of industrial supply stores and also at Walmart here in Canada. Something else that works real good is WD40. Same thing, spray it on, let it sit for awhile then hit it with the pressure washer.

    Diesel Exhaust Residue

    I use a mix of Windex and Spray 9. Soak it down, let it sit for 5 minutes and then hit it with the pressure washer. Might have to do it twice to get it all off.

    3pt Hitch Lever Won't Stay Up - B1750HST

    The hole in the handle isn't round, it is squared on two sides and so is the shaft. If you look close at the handle in the diagram you can kind of see that. And its a very tight fit, the handle has to be aligned just right to slide off the shaft. Make sure you remove the guide that the handle...

    engine dies when PTO is engaged

    Post a video. Maybe it'll give us all a clearer understanding of what's going on here.

    engine dies when PTO is engaged

    Huh? How does a pto not engaging cause an engine to power out and die? Im lost here.

    engine dies when PTO is engaged

    We're going around in a circle here and its back to sounding like a fuel delivery problem. Since you had to "clean the fuel system" twice, maybe its clogged up again. I'd check that.

    engine dies when PTO is engaged

    What all did you do when you "cleaned the fuel system"? Was there much foreign material in the fuel system? Maybe its still plugging up? Can the mower assy be rotated by hand without excessive drag? Also check the ujoints on the pto shaft for binding / siezing (unless its belt driven) Does it...

    Clutch Pedal

    I'm thinking you got bigger problems than just the missing spring. All that spring does is return the clutch pedal to the engaged position (pedal out), it has nothing to do with the clutch mechanism inside the housing. I'd say there's a problem with the pressure plate and / or throwout bearing...

    B1400D Servicing

    The rear diff, transmission and 3pt hydraulics are a common reservoir. There will be a drain plug on the bottom of the transmission and probably also one on each final drive housing to the rear wheels. There will also be a screen filter for the hydraulic system low on one side of the trans...

    Volatage regulator

    New batteries voltage will vary depending on how long they sat on a shelf. Also, I've bought new batteries that were junk in 24Hrs or lasted many years. In 1984 I bought a 1981 Mazda pickup that had a battery that all the writing on it was in Japanese so I assume it was the original factory...

    Volatage regulator

    For the battery and depending what state of charge it is in, it should usually be in the 12.6 - 13.2V range when at rest. If you connect your voltage meter to a battery and then try cranking an engine, you will see the voltage take a large drop instantly until you quit cranking and then you will...

    Are you running the engine at the correct RPMs to get the recommended 540 RPM on the PTO?
