Koditten's ZT mower-guided ramblings-shop journal

Cool little rebuild man!

 

Thanks! I wanna do another. Every one thinks their blown engine Z.T.'s are made of gold. The hunt continues.
( Sometimes, that's the best part)

 

very true, I wouldn’t mind finding another garden tractor to tinker with after I get my 210 where I want it.

 

Got 448 with chewed wiring with a new 18 Onan that needs a new home. Put the word out. Asking $500.

 

Oh if you just lived closer!

 

Yes, then comes the suspension mods, new wheels & rims, LEDs, etc....

 

Great combination; a conscience and does good work. Been looking for a Zero Turn. I'd happily be your first customer

 

I've since done a couple more of these zero turn mowers. Instead of starting a new thread, I'm just gonna add pics and comments about new, present and pending zero turn project mowers.

All comments are welcome. I especially like hearing about issues that different brands may be known for. As these are all going to be used machines, there should be a history of issues. Both good and bad.

 

This is my latest find. Actually picking it up tonight.

 

Man I wish I could find one of these. Some cool work you’re doing.

 

On the hunt for a flywheel PTO adapter for the Predator motors. I need to find out what my bolt pattern is on this 25 hp Kawsaki engine is.

The Predator motors do not come with a flywheel PTO.

I'm hoping this part is what I need to use the existing flywheel power take off. Here I go...

 

Pic should have been included in the above post.

 

We are going to be putting a predator in a Yamaha golf cart.

 

I think I'll just yank that motor off in the morning and double check to see what adapter I actually need. The internets are not cooperating tonight... and fucking John Deere locks down their parts manuals. Pricks.

 

Came here expecting more. One of five stars. LAME!










Ok actually pretty cool.

 

Present project. Sounds like a broke connecting rod when cranking the engine. No biggie. It's getting a Predator 708.

 

Old engine out and new engine installed. Running choke and throttle cables.

 

Got a pic from the back. Interested on how you you lifted this up

 

Test ran the engine. Sounds wonderful.

Waiting on a new hydraulic pumps drive belt. Old one looks pretty sketchy.

 

I'll get some more pics later this afternoon. I thought I snapped more, I guess not.
