FYI: There are not many blade options for the Hustler Raptor SD54. There will be OEM and aftermarket equivalents. Then there are Gator style blades. The Gator style blades aren’t worth a flip for cutting grass with high moisture content and they lose some lift due to cuts in the air foil.

Cut yourself 4 blocks of wood. 2x4 or 4x4 work good. Cut two of them 3” long and two at 3 1/4” long. Air the tires to recommended pressure and park it on an even concrete pad. Set your deck at the 3” setting. Turn the blades front to rear. The 3” block should just slide under the front facing...

Kohler Courage 20hp.

They walk among us. 🤦‍♂️

I gave you three different makers and three different part numbers. Enter those brands and corresponding part number into your search bar. FINIS

I don’t use mulching (Gator style) blades until the leaves start falling and the grass starts going into dormancy. I use high lift or standard lift blades and side discharge the clippings. Mulching blades (Gator style) make a mess when mowing any grass with high moisture content. Wavy style...

Or, 2 cycle oil. It can be a booger to get the grommet in. Just be patient and take care not to damage the grommet.

Max Power Commercial Mulching Blades are not the answer. You will get the same results as pictured above.

No.

Replace the tank grommet. It’s in the kit. https://www.sawagain.com/echo-srm-210-225-2100-and-gt-200-225-200-fuel-system-kit/

That’s how I do it.

It really depends on the grass that you’re cutting. The height of the grass. The percentage of grass blade that you are removing. It’s probably best to check with your county extension agent.

Go with the FX1000V. That’s one of the engines original to the Pro Turn 460. The original Yamaha was fuel injected. Being a Yamaha was the main problem with the engine. The fuel injection just added more problems. The FX1000V is carbureted. Have a look at the sell sheet...

If it was a Yamaha engine. Probably an EFI engine too. Briggs/Vanguard makes a 36 hp big block carbureted engine. Kawasaki FX1000V would be my pick. The FX1000V was one of the offerings on the PT 460.

Kohler Command or Kawasaki FX

The OEM part is unavailable. They are 14” wheels. Measure the axle diameter. A Craftsman, Toro, or MTD replacement may work. The Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan fit 1/2” diameter axle shaft. MTD will fit 1/2” diameter axle shaft. The widths will need to be checked with the original wheel. If your...

There probably is. You will need to supply the model number and serial number of your mower for help.

I’m looking at for new pole saw. I’m going with Echo.

If you don’t use much fuel, it’s more convenient to buy the canned pre-mix.

What @Rivets said. ☝️ The kit includes new grommets, new lines, and new primer bulbs. There are two intake manifold block gaskets that you can buy separately. They aren’t normally needed. But, why not? You will already have half of the stuff off.

Pretty much.

Do you have a vice and a torch? If so, you can heat a wrench up and bend it to the desired angle. Will a swivel, extension, and ratchet work with the crow foot? Can you get some pictures for us to see what you are dealing with? What size wrench fits?

Take it back to your dealer. It’s under warranty.

I wonder how much their partnership with Briggs and Stratton is costing them? Those slick looking Orange and White Ferris mowers have to come at some cost.

Try a 20W50 without any additives. You will need a rebuild, new engine, or a new machine in the future.

Running 1/4” blades on a machine designed to be fitted with 1/8” blades adds extra drag on the engine as well.

It could be that your bagger isn’t sealing good around the discharge chute. In dry conditions, baggers typically produce more dust.

Typical results of using Gator blades. Plus, those blades are heavy duty blades and are thicker and heavier than OEM or aftermarket equivalent blades. Buy you some OEM or aftermarket equivalent blades and side discharge.

Right! I’ve already checked. That’s why Lowe’s sold them. They could be purchased for under $4,000. Hydro-Gear ZT2800 transaxles. It’s a residential mower. It’s like saying that a Toro Timecutter or a Hustler Raptor are commercial mowers. Just because someone uses a residential mower to make...

Moisture will get between the undercoating or bed liner and make it rust faster. Blow the outside of the mower off after each mowing. Compressed air or a leaf blower works well. Frequently scrape the debris from the under side of the deck. I scrape the underside of my deck about every 12 hours...

Nope. Try again. The Kohler 7000 is not a commercial engine. The only Ariens mower that is close to commercial is the Zenith.

It’s rather obvious that it was exposed to the elements for some time.

In the OP’s first post, he said that he purchased from Lowe’s. That says a lot about the mower. It probably sat outside for some time.

Sorry, Ariens Ikon XL 60 is not a commercial mower. Good try though.

Would you care to share with us what 6 Ariens commercial zero turns that you own?

I’m linking to the Sears YouTube site for the leveling video. Try to match your cutting height selector to the actual cutting height of the bottom of the blades. The anti-scalp wheels is another matter. From what you have described, it sounds like one of the anti-scalp wheel bracket is bent.

I honestly think that you are wasting your time. Like I said, they are designed to stay on. We do not know what make and model of mower POW123 has or had. https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/threads/hour-meter-on-gravely-hd-question.19308/

I’ve owned two Gravely ZTRs and the hour meter is always showing the current hours. The elapsed time doesn’t change until the mower is running. The hour meters have an internal battery. When those internal batteries fail, a new hour meter will need to be installed.

Good eye! I didn’t catch that. Yes, the belt must be under the belt keepers.

Sounds like the weight of the new blade has the governor kicking in. Order or borrow a cheap tachometer. The better ones have an Alligator clip for attaching to the plug wire. Adjust your low idle speed, wide open throttle speed, and Governor as detailed in the engine service manual. You should...

No. Although, it doesn’t continue to add time when not in operation. Get you a Battery Tender Jr.

With the EZT, all that’s needed is a fluid change. Most owners don’t even do that. If the owner isn’t mechanically inclined and know the process, opening up the unit could have consequences. https://www.hydro-gear.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/BLN-52622_2100_2200_P13.pdf

Verify the problem before throwing parts at it.

As @berstmobile1 said: “The Great Danes I service have wonderful lap bars that you can comfortably hold in one hand as they sit less than 1/2" apart and can be adjusted low enough to touch your thighs” My Gravely Pro Turn 260 has a similar steering arm setup as the now defunct Great Dane...

It probably hasn’t changed. Refer to the owners manual to confirm. There should be a belt routing diagram on your deck. Make sure all of the pulley bolts are tight. The tension pulley assembly should move freely and and not flop around.

You are halfway there. Do the tires have the same size stamped on both? Are the tires from the same manufacturer? Those things are important. If they are from the same manufacturer and are stamped the same, there is something that you can try. Remove the smaller wheel assembly and pump it up to...

There are some Cub Cadet models with steering wheels. Country Clipper has joy sticks. Do you have arm rests on your Toro?
