Jacobsen T422d Manual
Hi, I joined this forum because there appears to be several knowledgeable people here along with some fellow Turfcat owners. I recently bought a Turfcat at auction, it sounded great as they drove it across the block, only to find it has issues. I am not afraid of a little work, I'm pretty knowledgeable in mechanics and maching - enough to be dangerous! - I just need some help figuring out what to do. Here are the issues I'm working on first: - pto will not stay engaged, I hooked a bungy cord on the lever to keep the blades on. Seems to be cutting fine once I do this. Is there a loss in flow or pressure to keep the valve engaged?
- Last time I mowed, I got about an hour into the job and the engine tried to die out like I ran it out of fuel.I changed the fuel filter and filled it with fresh fuel after unloading it from the auction. I have read posts that suggested changing the fuel line due to internal blockages or small cracks that could let in air. So I'll do that and update you all. I noticed a fair amount of engine oil leaking from the oilpan gasket when I run it for a few hours, so I'll be changing that in due time.
Unless someone thinks it more of a priority. I look forward to any input you all might have - Thanks, Cory. Can't help with the PTO, but next time it starts to die, remove the fuel cap. If it picks up and runs, the fuel tank vent is plugged.Well it was a rough night, I went out to mow a bit and it took several cycles of cranking and heating with the glow plugs to get her started - but - finally, she fired up.
As the smoke was starting to clear, and the engine was warming up, she slowed down, sputtered out and died. I had the vent cap loose, so it wasn't that simple. I did change a couple fuel lines and bled the system.
When I was doing this, I noticed the valve on the filter bowl seems to have an odd side-to-side movement, could this be letting in air? I also noticed that no fuel was coming out of the fuel bowl when I had the hose off (I just wanted to check).

Should this be pouring out, or does it get sucked through by the injector pump? Any ideas would be helpful - or a D950 replacement!
