I know this is an old post,but If you have not found the problem there are several places to look. First determine if it has spark when its turning over. NO Spark LOOK for a shorted safety switch. If spark is present then it may be fuel. U didnt specify what engine,but if its briggs, it has a fuel solineoid on the bottom of the float bowl. Turn on the switch, plug and unplug the switch,U should hear a click of the solenoid. If no clicking then use a jumper and power the solenoid,if it clicks then there is no power there and the problem is a broken wire or a bad ignition switch.
Please post your findings.

In regard to your frozen Idler. I have access to idlers,just not Kobota. Usually they are a sealed bearing,the rubber seals fail and let the moisture in and the result is rust and failure of the bearing. They are not real expensive so just replace it with new. As for getting it off the shaft. Try PB Blaster. IF that dont work,then try an old mechanic trick (old like me)candle wax. It may require you drop the deck. Take the nut off the shaft,with a propane torch,very carefully heat the bolt,not red hot now. Then take a old candle ( i keep em in my shop) stick in on the bolt and let it melt. the wax will run down the threads and down the shaft.Let it cool out.Use a prybar or pickle fork under the pulley,it should pop rite off.I use this on old flywheels also,it works like a charm.
GOOD LUCK Keep me posted.

[QUOTE=mikethefixit;166322] Mike Id go to IH registery, I'm not for positive but I think you will be able to find the Manuals you are searching for. If thats a MTD CUB then if you find out what engine it is,then go to that MFGR's site,like briggs and stratton U can find the oil capacity's Roger [/QUOTE]
