Last week we fixed up Paul's old Cub Cadet lawn tractor. This week we look at his new Troy Bilt zero turn lawn mower. It's about 6 years old and a few months back the Kohler 7000 series engine started to bog under load and seems to be missing horse power. The Kohler is a V-Twin engine and most likely a cylinder is down. Hopefully its an easy fix.
Zero Turn Model: Troy Bilt 17ARCBDT011 DOM:07/2017
Engine Model: KT725-3083
Engine Displacement: 725cc
Ignition Coil (32-584-06-S): amzn.to/453wP3G

@walterjwalnut9964 8 месяцев назад

The steering and transmissions are linked on these machines, and for a sharp turn, the transmission for the rear wheel inside the turn is actually power reversed. This was demonstrated when you did the U turn after querying whether it was a true 4 wheel steer or not. The problem is probably more 4WS than a conventional Zero Turn, as they are actual 2 wheel steer with the front wheels free to castor to follow, whereas this system combines conventional ackerman type steering at the front with differential drive at the rear, so all 4 wheels contribute to the steering effort.

@kevin9c1 8 месяцев назад

Yes and this is actually an advantage on slopes where one rear tire might lose traction. Plus it allows you to push the machine and steer it with the hydro disengaged, like a regular tractor. Kind of cool.

I had a set of tires like those for a lawn vac, just as smushed. I had two ratchet straps and a whole lot of creative language before each of those buggers would bead up! Never thought of the tube expansion idea, although I think I would have had the same success you had with yours. I broke the bead breaker handle on my HF tire changer. Ended up buying a "Bead Buster" which after a re-weld of the bead hooks, works like a charm!

My son learned this the hard way when he welded his 7/16" combination wrench to the fender of his Ford Pinto (40 years ago). He was able to break it loose before catastrophic damage occurred.

@paulravitsky2898 8 месяцев назад

Good call on the "working" coil. You had extended crank time before replacing it. After the engine started almost immediately. The missing chute contributed to the buildup of debris around the cylinder fins. The grass blew almost straight back toward the engine. Those small tires are a pain, you were lucky the rims weren't rusty like the ones I deal with. I just stick tubes in them. Great job!

@georgedyson9754 4 месяца назад

I usually put tubes in all small wheels that start off without! Usually every spring the tires are flat over the winter if there are no tubes and then seem to slow leak all the time. So out with the same tire tool James has! They stay up then much better.

@swallowinn4410 8 месяцев назад

Hello James: I was wondering what happened to your tire changer. Then you explained giving it away. They make a very difficult task a lot less difficult, not easy but manageable. If you have not already spoken to Paul about the deck guard/ discharge. Maybe a quick disconect bracket could be fabricated to facilitate quick removal & install if the guard is not already configured with one. I put a bungie cord with a breakaway connector on my riding mower so I can lift the guard up while going through the door. It just clears with the guard lifted. Steeling yor closing, I hope this helps someone.

@simonmorris6182 8 месяцев назад

Hi James, Back in the tyre fitting days ..... We had a couple of large squishy solid rubber foamy doughnuts for the wide rims that tyres would not reach the beads .... After fitting the tyre on the rim and being unable to seat either side ....if you fitted the doughnut to the top of the rim between the tyre, it would seal the air and allow the opposite side bead to seat fully as you pumped it up. Then you would let the air out remove the Doughnut turn the tyre around and now without the doughnut push the tyre down while airing it and it never failed to seat with not much extra effort.

@jt9498 8 месяцев назад

Nicely done, James. However, I don't understand why you don't use dielectric grease on electrical fittings, such as the coil wires. Prevents rust from forming due to rain water or other "liquids" from critters that make their homes in machines. :) It works great on battery terminals, too.

@Behemoth33 8 месяцев назад

Because dielectric grease is not conductive? So, on a battery where the terminal is clamped tightly, then it won't work itself in between, but on the coil, it might just work itself in between the lug and connector causing issues, that's just my guess

@pierremartel3552 8 месяцев назад

@@Behemoth33 Dielectric is needed because grease can melt and will cause many problem if it conduct electricity. The grease is not there to help to the conduction by itself but to prevent rust from forming. And that is keeping a good conduction between 2 connector. Car company use those on major plugs that are open to element. Connector that goes on the transmission of cars and trucks, they use dielectric grease.

@andyfairman7812 8 месяцев назад

Agreed. Using dielectric grease is a good practice for protecting connections from corrosion. It's a common misconception that it will introduce resistance but it's essentially a fluid, and the force of the metal-on-metal contact moves the grease out of the way. You can prove it by doing a resistance test before and after applying it. I've been using it for years without any problems and works great for keeping moisture out of connections. One example I can think of is that the cutoff switch on my gas weed trimmer wouldn't shut off the engine anymore. I took the switch apart, cleaned the corrosion from the contacts, and packed it completely full of dielectric grease. Several years later and I never had another problem with it. More recently, I've been using it on all the connections for my my outdoor low voltage lighting to keep the water out of them with good results.

@jmaxim80 7 месяцев назад

I used to use dielectric grease all the time, and then I started having electrical problems on some of my equipment, and it turned out to be the grease. So I decided it wasn't for me, but I would still use it in certain applications. It's just one of those things that I think is a personal preference things If you were to ask 100 guys about it, 50 would use it, and the other 50 wouldn't.

@ericroellig6704 7 месяцев назад

Where “dielectric” comes in. Both petroleum grease and dielectric grease DON’T conduct in their normal form. The difference is when they burn. Petroleum grease leaves carbon ash which is conductive and would add to the list of problems for a fire. Dielectric ash is still nonconducting.

@onefixitman 2 месяца назад

I have the exact same engine on my Gravely ZTX 42 inch Zero turn. If I fill the gas tank all the way up some gas gets past the carb and past the rings and dumps into the engine compartment. I just do not fill the gas tank all the way any longer. It only has about 50 hours on it and it has always been parked in a garage. I found this out by checking the oil before starting and the oil level had gone up and the gas level had gone down. Such crazy problems for a machine that has very low hours on it. I can only assume the float valve is leaking by when the gas level is above the carb or the protection solenoid at the bottom of the carb has a problem with it. I only lose about 3/4 of a gallon capacity. When it first happened I changed the oil and never ran it with the gas in the oil. Great video. I will keep in mind if I have to change tires on the Gravely.

@acew280 8 месяцев назад

Tire tip I learned from a old school dune buggy forum. Their tires are shaved so thin for weight there are often in holes in the sidewall of brand new tires And not uncommon to air up before every little trip out Anyway this solves the problem 1 part Bars leak liquid aluminum 2 parts full strength antifreeze Better than slime, doesn't eat aluminum wheels, never hardens up like slime, never freezes, and ATVs and utvs actually causes a natural tire balance. On higher speed stuff Mix up, break outer bead, use small funnel and hose to pour it in and reinflate. Roll around a bit in all directions Typical large atv tire I use about 15 to 18 oz per tire Small lawn mower front tires like those maybe 6 oz Try it! It has yet to fail me PS tire guys hate slime. This stuff just hose it out like a radiator flush If you ever need to replace or service tires Love your channel

Nice video Jim. Great attention to detail and conscience approach to problem solving. I was wondering if that ZT Toro had only 2 larger blades offset to overlap the cut. I have a Craftsman 42" rider with a 19.5hp Briggs that uses 2 large blades and although it seems like a lot of HP, it won't cut high weeds at anything more than a snails pace. I grew up on a 1948 Ford 8N w/ a model ''A'' engine, rated at about 23hp. Dad got a Mott 72" Flail mower for it and I cut 4' weeds right down to the ground and all mulched up with it easily when the knives were sharp in first gear at about 3mph, and it had to pull the 2,500Lbs of the whole tractor around too.

I wear boots everyday and was lucky to get a year out of any of the boots before I bought the Keen’s, they lasted me 2.5 years. I’m now on my second pair and hoping they last just as long. They are the most comfortable work boots I’ve ever owned.

Tractor Supply seems like a great place.

James, you crack me up with your train of thought, you concluded the bad coil is still bad, but most people would have hooked the wire up to see if the coil is good!!! 😅

That wire goes to Ground to shut the Engine OFF. with the Wire disconnected the engine would not shut off with the switch if it were not for the 2nd Coil that was connected.
