Filter-pre Cleaner 793685

All parts fit just like they should. Changing the drive and deck belts are a little time consuming, but at least I did not loose a belt half way through mowing my lawn.

Replaced filters.

Pre & air filter - remove filter cover, remove and replace filters and replace cover.
Chute - remove chute rod end nut, drive out rod, remove old chute, align new chute, drive in rod and replace end nut.
Oil filter - remove drain plug and drain oil from crankcase (remove dipstick to allow air in for complete draining). Once drained, remove oil filter. Use oil to lubricate the filter gasket and install filter hand tight. Replace drain plug and fill crankcase with oil. With the proper oil level in the crankcase, run the engine and check for leaks.
Blade - Remove the blade mounting bolts and nuts (I find it easiest to reach the bolts through the chute cut-out in the deck - use a block of wood to prop-up the chute). Replace blade and mounting hardware (noting the proper orientation of the blade).

First I removed the old air filter and discarded it, then drained the oil and removed the old oil filter. Replaced air filter and pre cleaner, installed new oil filter and filled engine with new 30 weight oil. Started engine ran for about one minute then checked oil level and for any leaks.

Job done !
