    This Troy Bilt Super Bronco lawn tractor is really clean and I've had it a little while. The main issue was that it had a cracked block on the Kohler Courage engine. After attempting to fix one in a Cub Cadet LTX1040, I decided to give it another go on this mower. See the results in this video!

      They AllWAYS start back leaking again, it’s a shame they didn’t build a better design 😢😢😢

    Did kohler ever recall that engine, or admit there was a problem with cracking.

      I think they did replace some under warranty, but if it lasted longer than the warranty period without cracking I don't think they did anything.

    How much A.T.F fluid do you put in the lawn mower tires when you see that they no longer they keep going flat I have a set of 20 by 8 inch rear tires and rims plus how much does the front tires take

      Robert I put about 10-12oz unless they're really bad and then I may put 16-20oz.

      Turns out the belts were worn out and still needed replacing, just put new drive belts on it yesterday and it's doing great.
