Nice machine Rusty. Those were the last true garden tractors built but they get a bad rap for some reason. The valve issue is pretty common along with the o rings leaking on the lines. They use the same spool vale as the cyclops tractors and you just stack them to add up to 3 on the left and 3 on the right if your creative. Like Jimbob & Tacosteeler said, the Kohler Command is a good engine and I have a 3240 with 1550 hours that runs well. Do you have any pics of your cracked pto bracket? I have not seen that problem yet. Oh ya, welcome to OCC....the best Cub Cadet site on the net!
