How do you get the height adjustment handle out of the back plate so it will come off?

Just keep turning it counter clockwise. Take the tunnel cover off and you'll see what it's screwed into.

You shouldn't need it. The filter will mount directly to motor and side panel should still go on.

Looking forward to it. Haven't been to this one in awhile.

Yes, you'll have to get in there where the coupling is at the engine. Not fun.

It should idle smooth with the throttle lever all the way down. Also your rpms shouldn't fluctuate if you're not moving the throttle control. I had a similar issue and had to rebuild the carb and reset the governor arm.

I've gotten a few aftermarket starters for the KT17's and haven't had any issues. They just want way too much for the OEM starter.

That 1650 looks like it's been very well taken care of. Hope to see it in person one day.

Condolences to Geezer's family.

I noticed that the KT17 kohler manual calls for the rv15yc plug and .025 gap which cross references to the #25 autolite. Is that because it's a breaker point system instead of the magneto like the mag18 and 20? It gets better. After doing the auto lite application lookup, it says for the kt17 to use...

sweet looking 2072 i love those seat bumpers.

Has any of you used the rebuild service for the hydro relief valves? The guy from Ohio that rebuilds these claims to have done 118 of these rebuilds, so I would guess that he knows what he is doing.He lists the service on E-bay at $35 each. I have no connection with this man and do not know him, wa...

Aaron asked if I would post a pic of his Cat 0 hitch and tool box I just recently installed on the 782. All I can say is "Awesome quality work"!

Those mounts should be for the haban deck and haban blade.

Can you post a pic? It would help to determine what's not right with it.

Mine was starting to do something similiar. It would on occasion act as if I just suddenly throttled down and shut it off. It ended up being the fuel pump. I would have had to give my first born to cub cadet for a new one but ended up getting one direct from kubota for a fraction. I think your probl...

I've heard they will go much longer than that before a rebuild is required if it was taken care of properly. If it's not showing signs of needing a rebuild I wouldn't mess with it. Mine has about 800hrs on it. That's supposedly still pretty fresh. I would definitely get the parts from Kubota, don't ...

Yeah last week I mowed and toward the end I had to turn the lights on. At full rpm with the lights on and mowing I was just barely showing a charge. Right when I throttled down the rpms after mowing it started discharging with the lights still on. They could have took the time to come up with a bett...

Yes, the bearings were available local at a bearing supply place.

I had to do this last year. It is a pain since you have to remove the radiator so I'd do a good cleaning of the radiator while it's out. I think there's two bearings in there if I remember correctly. Once you get the radiator out of the way, it's pretty easy. I would also check out the cooling fan b...

Mike that super is very nice. You'll have to post a pic when you get it all put together. I'd love to see that at a plow day.

Maybe you just have some hyd lines mixed up.

I like your bumper. How is it mounted with the mule drive on?

My 1572 also mows fine with the 44c and 50c decks. Is the deck belt slipping maybe?

Wow, I've never seen that happen before. I couldn't tell what was wrong.

Bryan are you going to start making some for resale?

That's what I use is the aluminum colored paint. Some from walmart.

You may need to do a trunnion repair or replace your trunnion springs/washers. It shouldn't speed up much going down hill.

Jess hooked me up with a smaller mower deck a few weeks ago. It cleaned up really well and looks good on the super. I'm going to add some front wheel brackets on it sometime this summer when the growing grass slows down. Maybe some new decals.

I don't think your pto to deck belt should only be 1/2". Should be about 5/8?

They're the same on a stock setup.
