You've done a lot of the right things for trouble shooting and posting all the details certainly helps. Often enough someone posts a non start issue and often enough it's because of a dirty ground. Clean all connections to start. Have you got a good battery you can try? If a second battery...

Although I've never used a front mount I do have a pile of hours under my belt with a rear mount. I would prefer a front mount as the neck gets sore from being cranked around. A disadvantage of front mount is that you give up the ability of a Loader should you be fortunate enough to have one...

Tilled for about 45 mins this evening. Oil pressure was between 45 and 60 psi Coolant temp would hover around 180F while at idle. Managed to get up to 205F while working it pretty hard. Weather was roughly 25 Celcius, 77 Fahrenheit for my US brothers. A bit high? Sorry for the sideways...

Thanks all for the replies. I've only gone up and down the driveway a few times to confirm the dials are working. Here's what I've seen: Oil psi is roughly 60-70 psi at idle Coolant temperature is roughly 190F at idle

I've attached 4 pictures for your viewing pleasure. I feel that the ideal place for the sensor is the coolant flange although other options are fine as well. The only issue with installing at the coolant flange is that the head must be removed to install here. The problem with this is the...

Will provide pics when I get to the office.

I was finally able to mount both a oil pressure sensor as well as a coolant temperature sensor on my L1801. Question is what are the acceptable readings for both gauges?

Thanks very much for the great post. Looks like I will be doing this job myself and I will refer to this.

Search for the post: L175 valve adjustment. Everything you need for adjusting the valves. Trail dust made it very clear. INTAKE VALVE --- CLOSING ----- ADJUST EXHAUST VALVE EXHAUT VALVE ---OPENING ----- ADJUST INTAKE VALVE I turned the engine over with a wrench on the alternator nut. Some...

Good call re graphite. Can you post pics once done?

If you've got all tools on hand it's safe to say 3-5 hours. That's without rushing. Certainly helps to have a helper on hand.

A few things led to my head gasket failing the first time including using a sealant. I was advised that you are not supposed to use sealant for this particular application. The #1 reason for my woes was the lack of an o-ring on the oil gallery. I've since had the radiator recored which should...

I spoke to the owner of a local dealer and he also suggested I should be fine. May increase the torque of head bolts from 57 ft lbs to 67 ft lbs.

I did this a few years back. Easy peasy, just time consuming. That's a pump sprayer. I used the metal connector as shown in previous posts.

I just adjusted the arms on my friends zero turn mower. Move the arm back and forth and follow the movement. It's likely to lead to a part which looks like a turn buckle. That should help with the adjustment. It's a similar machine and hopefully works for you.

It's often that an owners child plays on the tractor and pulls lever, pushes bittons. That could be it. Not sure if it has a decompression lever, just spit balling ideas.

Be careful not to bend the fins with compressed air/pressure washer. Got mine back today and it looks great! $350 to recore.

If it's turning over then it's unlikely to be a safety switch. Full of fuel?
