I'm half way through a job moving earth and mulch, trying to get it done before the wet season makes everything too soft to drive on. Can anyone tell me if I can loosen the bolts ontop of the lift cover below the seat by about half an inch allowing me to clear the damaged gasket and use liquid gasket as a stop gap. Or do I have to disconnect inside the main housing and remove the lift cover completely. It just takes so long to get parts here I wonder if raising the lift cover only half an inch or so would be enough room. Then clearing out the old gasket and using liquid gasket then re tighten. Is this idea daft as it seems abit too easy? what do you think, has anyone done it before? [Reply]   [Send Email]

The gasket arrived roled up in a tube! So after 48 hrs being held flat on the bench under some weights I got it installed. Definately a 2 person job to replace that lift cover accurately. But it's working and I'm nearly 2/3 rds of the way done with moving the earth and mulch. Thankyou all very much for the advice and help. Mick   [Reply]   [Send Email]

The local supplier told me it was instock but when I arrived to pick it up, oops on back order.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

There is very high pressure there and only to use the proper gasket. John(Ont)   [Reply]   [No Email]
