    Hello Everyone! I own the mower posted above; just purchased it last year. The gentleman who originally owned it mentioned one defect that it arrived with straight out of the factory. The tensioner spring for the drive belt rattles against one of the hydro pulleys at mid-low to mid-high...

    Welcome to the Exmark Forum -- Check in Here First!

    Just Joined the forum, and I own a 2004 Exmark Lazer Z 48" that I just bought last year. I'm no newbie to mechanics, repairs, and overhauls however, I have no prior experience with an Exmark mower.
