Hello all my first post here so I hope I posted this to the right section.
I have a Z225 that is leaking oil out of the bottom of the motor, I believe it is
the crackshaft seal.. But i'm not 100 percent sure, the leak is right by the oil filter
but the oil filter itself is not leaking. Anyway i'm looking to tear it down and check everything.
The mower will run then shut of after it is warm, oil level is full I always check it.
One thing to note last year when my brother attempted to mow the grass at the house he some how knocked the drain plug off
and drained out all the oil! not realizing he did this he tried to start it and that's how all these problems developed. I was quoted
500-600 dollars to repair it which I could buy a newish motor for that much. I want to do it myself I am mechanically inclined but
I am looking for diagrams for the process and of course any advice you all are willing to share is much appreciated. The motor is the Bridges
and Stratton 18.5HP.
