jd rx-75 slow!
Comments (1)I have a 1995 SRX-75, that has an auto trans. The more you push on the pedal the faster it goes. Even at full speed (9HP Kawasaki) I feel it's slow compared to the 8 HP Snapper RER it replaced. However, slow as a worm its not. The lever in front of the seat is the emergency brake on mine. Depress the brake all the way down, then move the lever from its rested position (right side), lift it up and pull it to the left, then slide it down into the bottom detent position. Release the brake and it should come up about 3/4 and stop. With the trans in neutral the mower should not move. If it doesn't work as described, then there is either a part broken or missing. Make sure the mower rolls freely when in neutral, if not perhaps you are having a brake problem thus causing the slow movement of your mower. The brake is located directly to the left of the right rear tire(passenger side). You will see a long linkage rod (from brake) connected to a lever that is fastened by a nut. The brake mechanisn is behind that lever. Click on the link and type in the sx75 as the model # and go to the brake section. Hope this helps you in some way.

Comments (4)You do appear to have an electrical problem, possibly some open ground circuits. Check for a missing engine ground wire/strap, the one that goes from the engine/transmission to the car body. Was the dash distrubed? There could be a missing ground conection from the instrument panel to car body. If your're going to do this yourself, get a repair manual that shows the electrical circuits, and start tracing. If you can't afford a repair manual, look to a friend or the library. Your library may subscribe to an auto repair site, and have a decent on-line connection....See Moreconsumer reports
Comments (20)First time back on line in a long while. Finally bought a new computer (Sony Vaio) Hopefully I didn't miss too much! I don't particularly pay too much attention to CR, although sometimes I find myself browsing through their magazines while shopping around at the store just out of curiosity. Their good and bad bets are pretty much the same as they were in previous years. I find Carsurvey.com and Epinions.com to be more valuable. I have a 1996 Honda Accord with the 4-cylinder, 223,000 miles and just keeps on trucking. I've had to service it as I would with any other car, but it's never given me any unexpected problems on the road or failed to start one morning. The engine still retains most of it's original major components (such as the alternator, AC compressor, starter, PS pump, master cylinder, etc.) which is truly amazing in my opinion. I am a strong believer in preventive maintenance and upkeep, and I'm sure that has had something to do with my car's reliability... but I've definitely only had to do the very basics to keep it so. Also have a 2001 Pontiac Trans Am, which CR listed as unreliable. Currently have 56,000 miles and haven't done squat to it except change the oil/filters, brakes, tires and light bulbs. Absolutely nothing else. Had a pretty good experience with a 97 Mercury Cougar also(V8 model) The transmission and intake manifold were the only weak links in this otherwise solid car...but my transmission and manifold had already been replaced before I bought the car used with 90,000 miles. Sold it with a little over 150,000 miles....See MoreMaking things easier
Comments (2)while that is one way, i like mine much more. i have the Logitech Harmony 880 remote and programmed it for different activities. if we want to watch a DVD, it turns on ONLY the TV and switches it to HDMI2/turns on DVD player/Surround Sound system. hit the button to watch Sat TV and it turns off the DVD, switches the TV to HDMI input 1, turns on the Sat RX. want to listen to the radio, it turns on teh surround system and switches it to radio input mode. and so on and so forth. even my 4 year old knows how to get it to DVD mode to watch her movies....See Moreearthworm
