I get dealers want you coming to them for belts so only show OEM part numbers, not sizes. But you might be a mile from a NAPA and 40 miles from mower dealer and have a broken belt in a customer's yard. Where can I find cross references for OEM belts to their actual sizes?

Just purchased new ZT HD 52. Looking for info not shown in standard manuals.

I'm in process of rewiring my 1822 due to many years of many owners Rube-Goldberg wiring "fixes". Unless some prior owner removed them I cannot find any such switch. They are shown in the wiring diagram along with part numbers and mounting brackets but the overall chassis parts diagram does...

Except for push mowers!

Does anyone know if a generic PTO pull type switch is electrically the same as the stock GH PTO switch? In other words if I were to replace the OEM with a PTO switch common to most of today's zero turns will that work? I cannot locate any info on how the switch contacts work in the on/off...

Hmmm an engine without bearings. Seems strange but explains why I can't find them. LOL Bushings? Just turn on the aluminum case?

I have an FR651 I want to rebuild. In looking at repair manual and parts diagrams I can find oil seals but cannot see any crank shaft bearings? Am I just blind??

I am looking for anyone who can define the actual contact positions on the PTO switch on GH 1822. I have wiring diagram trying to decipher to solve an electrical issue with PTO. The diagram does not define the contacts in on vs off position only shows position of wires on switch. From what I...

I had great reply from GH factory who sent me pdf files for mower and deck. Unfortunatly this site limits file size so I cannot share.

I am totally new to GH mowers having obtained my 1822 ONLY THIS MORNING. But since it is a horizontal shaft engine I see no reason a different horizontal engine could not be substituted. ( This is based only on first observation and zero experience with this mower ! ) It is just a thought.

Good day all. Today I traded off a spare unused trailer for a GH 6122 with 6152 deck. It needs a little work but it runs and cuts great. The deck belt is on life support. I am looking for any and all info I can obtain for this mower such as specs, owner manual, parts manual and service...

Just acquired in trade a vintage GH mower #1822 with deck #6152 I also have a Big Dog, A Hustler, A Husqvarna and an Ariens Tractor

Model: 930693 48" SN: 11043148 Didn't post this because what I was considering would not necessarily be that relevant to a model since it is DIY modification

Good day all. I was pondering the cost of a steering damper $97 then wondered if there would be any reason those could not be replace with bicycle shocks which are about $12 each? (obviously need investigate the length etc but they are very close and mounting is same-ish) My Big Dog is an old...
