It sounds like the starter is hitting HARD on the flywheel, and it's not even budging. Just for kicks I engaged the PTO, put the front 1/2 of a pto shaft on it and with it supported on the end i put a large crescent wrench and a pipe on it, and stood on it without turning it at all. I even bounced on it. If I gotta pull the top off again, how do I get the new oil out? I may work on something else tomorrow and get back to it on Sunday....

I was getting in a hurry as it was getting late and I wanted to get home for the night. I'm gonna pull it back off today and see whats going on. Donovan from Wisconsin [Reply]  [No Email]

As I tightened up the housing bolts I noticed the front ones pulling the housing down instead of it dropping flat. I was in too much of a hurry and kept tightening down bolts and then fired up the tractor and ran it down the road. I learned the hard way, but got it fixed the right way after realizing my expensive mistake. [Reply]  [No Email]

I know I thought mine might be trying to do that when I put it together because it didn't want to drop down in front. That oil's gonna be a messy problem. I think you can get most of it out that large plug down toward the bottom left side toward the back.That's not gonna be anywhere near all of it though. [Reply]  [No Email]

I'd get as much oil out as I could,loosen all the bolts then get somebody on the pipe wrench on the PTO,then try to get a big screwdriver in between the cover the housing up front. Get them to turn it right as you lift. Maybe it'll pop in and you can do it with only loosing a gallon or so. [Reply]  [No Email]
