I know we have discussed this before. Are you still using the original braided ground strap? I’ve had several fail in the crimped ends. Have you used a jumper battery when it acts up? The added...

I’ve had to use a long pry bar from on top. Make sure you don’t get into the seal on transmission case. I’ve also had to heat the hub slightly to help release. Are you sure the engine isn’t loosing...

I have replaced the stator on one years ago and removed the radiator. Shop manuals are available on line that will walk you through most of those types of repair.

Cotter pin links will work fine.

The wiring diagrams for all the max models are on this site under manuals.

The rivets are closed end liquid tight 3/16 “. I’ve seen a small rubber washer on some up on the sides of the tub. Bottom of skid plate is countersunk to keep heads covered. McMaster Carr is the only...

That one was built in 1997

As Jim said the inline fuse can fail. I’ve had a lot of problems on max with the fuse holder corroding and usually cut them out. I install a marine fuse holder for push in fuse. Test for battery...

I would add the frame brace kit for the transmission area. Also turn top rail of frame down about 3/8” right in line with driven clutch. You will be surprised at how much easier the belt goes on. I...

Pop the boots off the master cylinders and make sure the pistons aren’t to deep. I adjust to just below flush. If the levers stop evenly with out a lot of movement idd bet on stuck piston in caliper....

I would pull the engine and make sure it isn’t a shifter issue. The diamond shaped levers can be removed and allow you to inspect the pins and collar that shift it. Many times it’s not necessary to...

If your flanges are used they may have had a bearing fail in them before. Just a little wear leaves the bearing loose. Assembled by hand new flanges usually won’t quite touch each other. The other...

Belt rolls off easily. Not to bad of idea to pull driven clutch and make sure it can be removed when necessary. Put a bit of antiseize on shaft when going back in. If you want to drain sump in the...

I have had to remove the driven clutch to get extremely tight filters off that model. I also evacuate the oil from crankcase with vacuum pump. Good luck

Longer bolts just an additional 1/4” inch should do. I see different length at times from the factory.

I bypass the governor on all my Briggs engines. Pretty easy to do. My max won’t break 3800 rpm full throttle with the drive belt being the only load. 16 horse model. If you text me I’ll send a...

The Kohler engine manual is available somewhere. It gives a pretty good description. If I remember right there is a small drive belt just for the pump. I don’t remember pulling the flywheel but have...

If that’s a Briggs engine the noise is almost certain to be the stub on crankshaft that goes into the rewind drive. That boot was installed before the upper body. I’ve gotten them out with exhaust...

I use 3M strip calk between flange ant tub and loctite liquid gasket between flanges.

Does anyone have a Max IV T20 handy that could verify the total thickness of the two washers used to space the driven clutch. I?m having trouble reading my notes but think it?s about .310? total for...
