    M371 hydraulic return

    My hydraulic return on my M371 seems to have a loop and maybe a check valve? I should take a picture. The manual shows the suction from the tank to the filter and then to the pump and back to the tank. Mine seems to loop back to the suction tube? Wondering I can can go back to how the manual...

    repowered M-371.

    The only reason I used the electric clutch is because I found it on ebay cheaper then I could have just bought the pulley for. I really didn't expedt it to work, I just planed on using the pulleys and bypassing the clutch feature, weld or some other method. When It arrived it was brand new, so...

    repowered M-371.

    repowered M-371.

    I just completed repowering my 371 to a 25hp twin kohler and a ogura electric clutch. So far I'm pretty happy with it, but the clutches and drive train are pretty noisy. How do you check for the proper fluid level in this machine? Also the right drive lever is very tight with maybe one inch of...
