ukrbyk, Sorry you had the experience you have with your Raptors. I did a quick mock up, which I didn't finish due to a meeting I had to attend, of a chute enclosure for the Raptor SD I'm considering doing sometime in the future to either prove or disprove the claims of a bad discharge opening...

Bertsmobile or to whom it may concern: Does anyone know if the Kawasaki FX730V intake and carb will exchange and install on a FR730V? The diagram shows the only differences to be the FR730V has a single barrel carb and intake, the FX730V has a twin barrel carb and intake and appears to me that...

I saw a Kawasaki FR730V with a 26 HP label on it. I know you can take a FR691V at 19 HP and change the throttle rod that allows the throttle blades to open wider which increases air flow and rpm to make it a 23 HP. Does anyone know what changes are necessary to go from the 23HP to 26HP? Is it...

Siping a tire means cutting grooves from one side to the other in a desired pattern for whatever terrain you're wanting to traverse. It is used in Dirt Track Racing to grab the damp clay of the track. You do not have to have a siping machine. You can use a circle saw by setting the depth to...

Is your Raptor a SD or a standard Raptor? I'm going to send you a photo of my SD60 deck from the side that may help you.

To follow up on Bert's suggestions. This is how we build extended truck frames or repair broken truck and trailer frames. I made a fairly quick and not so pretty example drawing for you. However, this will stop your future breaks unless you're really good at breaking frames. lol The two holes...

Try cutting out the triangle of your deck, grind back the lower rectangle support to a taper toward the blade and run with the deflector about two inches upward or wide open since nobody lives there and see if that will keep the deck clean. Maybe spray the underside of the deck with teflon and...

You are very welcome. My idea came from Jersey577's modification and although I like his better, I worry about some small kid running up and sticking their toes under the belt cover with his. Since he is doing commercial, that isn't likely. I don't, so, I was very concerned that I would try to...

Tom, I wonder if covering the yard in shaving cream would smooth out the ride and make the blades stand up better to get a smoother cut as well? Just think how clean the bottom of the deck would be as well? By the way, for all those fellas that holler my mower is never dirty. It was wet today...

Here is a modification that will help your belts last a lot longer and perhaps keep them from derailing the pulleys due to grass build up inside the belt (pulley) guards. If you remove your guards, you'll be surprised at how much build up there is although you're blowing them out after each...

Alrighty ladies and gentlemen, I too have entered the world of Hustler Modifications. Now I can say I'm running a Modified SD if this is a class. I know how this is going to work out. Next thing I'll be doing is trying to find another mile per hour, a quicker hole shot, better traction for a...

Thought I'd try it. It isn't hard at all. I removed my covers to check to see how efficient using my blower is on the accumulated grass around the belt pulleys. I was appalled at how much build up was still packing the area between the pulleys and the cover. No wonder people are loosing belts...

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild I mowed this past Monday and apparently, I mowed all the newly acquired color off the Hybrid Bermuda. Had plenty of storms this past week and the color is beginning to restore. By the way all, being Hybrid Bermuda, is that the reason we can't hear it growing...

Ron, I tried to get the photos for you in a tight area without a wide angle lens handy. I also grabbed a photo of the door handles I put on each side on the rear fenders for cutting along the side of a slope. They are handy for many things. You should be able to see the toe out. Forgive not...

Ron, You could use a water bottle, soda bottle, milk carton, pretty much anything that is about .010-.015 thick. It isn't easy to get it in without testing your faith in the Lord, but, it is doable and you'll be most pleased. By the way, for the most part, almost all the pinion gears I've...

Since you know the name Granatelli, I'll tell you about one of my cars. It is an Avanti. He took a 289 Cu. In. supercharged Avanti to Bonneville Salt Flats, purely stock from the assembly line other than a few moderations to meet the official's safety requirements. Set a record that still stands...

I purchased replacement spindles for a 1998 MTD Yard Man All Wheel Steer, 42" cut lawn tractor. The original spindles had the start lug for the blades. The replacement spindle only has three lugs. The three lugs line up just fine, however, the lugs are a bit too wide at the outer most portion of...

There is a ZD21 60" Kubota Diesel with close to 800 hours on it for sale down the street. Worst case scenario, what is it worth wholesale? If I can make a nickel on it, I'm interested in it. What all "could" be wrong with it at these hours of usage? According to the ad, it has only mowed one...

John, Is this yours? http://hydrodrives.com/products/bdr-311-hydrostatic-transmission If not, give them a chat on their live chat offer. Perhaps they can repair yours if they don't have one ready to run. Good luck. Max

Ed, Enjoy your new purchase. You should get out what you put into it. As far as the traction, I do have something to input. There can't be any more traction between a Fastrack and any other version if you're speaking about same GVW, same tire widths, same power to weight ratio, wheelbases...

Yes, I did it before it left the dealership. Here are the photo evidence you're looking for.

As promised, wash port in Raptor SD60.

I have a Raptor SD60 that is doing a great job thus far. However, that isn't very long since it only has almost 3 hours on it. During the engagement of the electric clutch, the mower shakes violently to the point of almost killing the motor. Most of which I realize is the rapid pull of the...

The rattle everyone is referring to, is it the God awful shudder when you engage the blades? Mine shudders and almost kills the engine. My clutch seems to be the same as the pre-recall. Can anyone confirm?
