How to add hydraulic fluid to cub cadet riding tractor RZT 50
you can use a syringe to put fluid in through the vent(s) after removing the vent hose, but I would not recommend this. Best way is to have the drive removed, drain old and service with new in the fill port. If you are not handy, this would be a job for someone you know who is because this would be pretty expensive at repair shop or dealer.
My zero turn lawn mower will not engage the blade.
Buy some electrical contact cleaner and spray in any orifice you can find in the pto switch an then blow out with compressed air. If this does not work locate your pto safety switch and do the same to it. If either works would have a spare on hand just in case.
What is a bad pressure relief valve in the head of a 20hp kohler engine
some of the larger hp (over 10) small engines use a small pressure unloader valve in the piston area , this is usually activated by oil pressure (as they have oil pumps and don't rely on splash system ) the symptom of the unloader valve not working is the engine is laboring to start ,sometimes might not even do so, but if one turns crankshaft back one half rev. it will start as normal , unfortunately most of the times this valve is not easy to access without disassembling the engine , most of the times I fix them I find it clogged with grime from lack of scheduled oil changes and grime seems to collect right in this area , these same people allways ask (after they get the bill) what tells me the oil needs changed , I tell them that as soon as you see the oil change to a darker color then its time !
Won't start without starting fluid
You might want to try using a carburetor cleaner additive, or a spray cleaner to clean the carb internally. Make sure your air filter is clean. You may also want to make sure fuel lines are not restricted.
