Been a few months since I posted my intro.... Lol. It's been since August 2019! Finally got some time to work on it during the pandemic....
Since the engine was confirmed to run properly, I tackled the axle seal leak that was making a mess. As per directions found here, I bought a complete set of seals for the rear end and pump. Turns out someone had been in the rear end before and put the date on there. I do the same thing when I service one of my regular tractors. I pulled the axle and seal and saw it had probably gone in cockeyed and that's why it as leaking so much. Proceeded to do the same with the first replacement seal. Fortunately I had two since I wasn't going to do the other side. Second one went in fine. Cleaned up the cover and put back together with a new gasket. No leaks!
Started running new fuel lines and found a tank seam busted and cracks in the bottom. Replacement should be here soon. Rigged up a homemade pvc pipe gas tank and new fuel pump. This Kohler sure sounds smooth (after cleaning out the carb of course).
Then while hooking up the safety switch (had to rewire the machine) I noticed the pedal marked "Brake" wasn't actually connected to brakes . :| The pedals on the right side work fine.
Anyone with a hint as to what this pedal connects to? The two for the right foot operate the actual brakes. I see the jackshafts and metal tabs for left foot pedal, but they're not connected to anything.
Pics too big to post. Will figure out how to shrink them with this new phone.
