The Garden tractor has a model number on the left frame rail near your left ankle or toes sitting in the driving position with your feet on the floor boards.
This should help you getting parts for the tractor if you have that number.
it does not have a oil filter but does have a hydraulic filter, it is located between your legs on the underside of the tractor.
Welcome to OCC,
you will learn a lot here  |
How about blade sets? The tractor still runs, but boy, it hasn't been taken great care of.
Hindsight is 20/20. Saw the filter stuffed up under there. Not messing with it. Maybe someone can point me to a post here.
It's an older gentleman who wanted it serviced, oil change, blades sharpened, grease fittings, air filter and replace a pto belt but you know... it's never just a service. I had replaced the pto belt (1/2 x 81) which I found D&D PowerDrive 532420807 for $14. Unfortunately I had already bought the belt with the part number referenced in the parts diagram (490489R2) for $20. The PTO pulleys on both sides were frozen. Again, 20/20. I did find the stens part after I'd already installed something else that seemed to work. For how long, we shall see. Stens - 280-248 V-Idler, Toro 112-6133 if anyone is interested. It appeared that the rail holding the attachment frame for the deck had at one point been lodged up under the frame. JD was good at this too. The tensioner pulley springs out under the frame then the operator uses deck lift.
Of course, he wanted all of this done quickly and for a certain price, free. Well, I'm in it for at least $70 at this point. I'll load a video later. The blades were about as dull as a wet noodle. I'm not sure how he was cutting any grass. The blades could use replacing.
I appreciate the feedback. The internet is great for forums!!!
