What brand of engine? Is it a briggs, kohler, tecumseh? What type of charging system do you have? Do theheadlights come on with the engine shut off or does the engine need to be running? Is the battery good?

On a briggs engine with the seperate headlight circuit there is a red and a orange wire coming from the alternator.The orange goes to the head lights, the red is charging. There is a diode in the red line. You should get 3 ampsafter the diode. The orange wire should have 14 volts. Check the voltage/amps downstream of the diode. Thisshould tell you if the diode is good. It should have 28 volts AC on the alternator side of the diode. This will tell you ifthe alternator is good.

How do I adjust drive clutches on Dixon ztr 4421 mower?

I have an old Dixon ztr 4421 chain drive & vertical cone clutch system. I need to adjust the left side clutch so it willequal the right side clutch tension.

i used to work on these for a living. seems like there was a spring steel rod like 5/16 or 3/8 diameter and maybe 6or 8″ long that carried the “female” cones and these tended to break alot, causing the left or right side to steerfunny. i do remember that you have to run these rods in or out to adjust the clearance between the cones and thenadjust the handles till they both lined up in the “neutral” position.

go to a Dixon dealer and get a service manual

How can I seal a crack in my plastic gas tank on my Dixon ZTR lawn mower so gas won’t leak out?The bottom of my gas tank has a long small crack allowing the gas to leak out. I have tried a couple of different putty’sto seal it but they do not hold in the gas, obviously they don’t adhere to plastic.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

SealAll would be a temporary fix but to fix that tank you would need to have it plastic welded and no one is gonnatry that on a tank that has had fuel in it already…

dixon zero turn lawnmorwer-is the mower deck adjustable?i was just looking at buying one-was wondering if the mowerdeck was adjustable

The commercial mowers most certainly have an adjustable deck height via a hand lever on the right hand side tothe unit.

The residential models like the Ram 44 & 50, Ram Mag 44 & 50 can all be adjusted from 1.5 – 4.5″ cuttingheights. The SpeedZTR models are only adjustable from 1.5 – 4.0 “.
