    1812 oil injected ?

    I does, right in the middle.

    1812 oil injected ?

    If you order a new OEM breather assembly, that is what you will get.

    1812 oil injected ?

    I think it should come of without taking all that stuff off, but it has been awhile. I'd do a better job of cleaning before any further disassembly though. That is the "old" breather. New one is a metal reed valve and should actually work.

    Engine turning over

    Does it turn by hand when it stops? Will it turn easily for many revolutions with the plug removed? Is it trying to fire and 'kicking back' when it stops, or stopping like there is an obstruction? If it isn't firing out the carb or kicking back when it stops, it is NOT timing. And if it only...

    782 Hydro Leak Help

    It's not going to get sucked into the transmission through a leak. If there was suction, there would be no leak. Need a picture from the top with the frame cover off, since you've said the leak is coming from that region.

    782 Hydro Leak Help

    DO NOT use Teflon tape there. Those fittings are flared. The flare must seal, so not only will that not help, if a piece of tape gets into the charge pump it will ruin the hydro unit. Make sure the flares and fittings are not damaged. You may have a fitting that is not tight enough, but more...

    1812 oil injected ?

    Why? Fix the carb and/or fuel pump and change the oil. This is an extremely common issue with these engines. No need to throw the baby out with the bath water.

    782 Hydro Leak Help

    Post a pic of the leak. From your description it sounds like the input shaft seal is leaking.

    Yeah, fuel pump or needle and seat has gone bad.

    Starter Generator Test

    Temporarily ground the "F" terminal on the starter/generator while the engine is running at wide open throttle. This should peg the ammeter to the 'charge' side and result in 14+V across the battery terminals. If not, the field coils of the starter/generator are bad. If that does cause it to...

    1812 oil injected ?

    Breather is malfunctioning, excessive blowby, or was overfilled with oil.

    Where can you buy American Made tire tubes in our sizes?

    I think Firestone tubes are made in Vietnam. Just about everything else is made in China. I can't remember the last time I saw a US-made tire tube.

    Hello from Wisconsin

    Welcome! Those are factory headlights, but for one series older of tractor (72, 104, 124, 105, 125). Someone must have added them at some point.

    Overhauling my Cub Cadet 72

    The original question was not about the color match. He asked "what brand of paint should I use to repaint it?" I am by no means a paint expert, but I have painted a lot of stuff with varying types and quality levels of paint, from cheap spray cans (I've found Majic and Krylon to be the worst)...
