    Zero turn mower seat

    Thanks for all the replies. I’m in Australia so most of those option will prove too expensive. I looked at some of the suspension bases and they were over $300 just for the base. The reason for replacing is the plywood rotted, screws pulled and the seat flew off when the boys were driving to a...

    Zero turn mower seat

    Were you happy with the universal seat? What brand of seat did you get and was it easy to install? Genuine hustler seats here are going for as much as $600 so i wont be going genuine. Found the below seat but that is still $200. Boat seats are going for less than $100. And before anyone scoffs...

    Blade bearing housing: Can't get the bearings out. What's the secret

    Hi, Appreciate that you already got the bearing out but next time try any of the bearing pullers for removing wheel bearing on motor bikes. It’s what I use and they also have a spacer like the blade spindles. They work really well as. Simple insert the plug from one side and insert the bar...

    Modding the eGo battery powered trimmer

    Why don’t you just hold the trimmer on it’s side??? As a commercial operator that’s all I do. It’s very neat and easy to do. For edges that have never been done before throw a blade on. It’s also surprisingly easy. The tri blades eg husqvarna, handle pretty well and if you hold them against the...

    Reassembling key switch

    Was mowing the other day and jumped off to grab the sprayer. Turned the key off and it just didn’t feel right. Went to turn it back on and it exploded all over the grass. I think I managed to get all pieces back except possibly two ball bearings. I assumed they were missing after looking at the...

    Hustler raptor 36” keeps throwing drive belt

    My thought on the fans could be that the right side has shorter distances between pulleys on the incoming side and has the tension close by minimising belt movement were as the port side has longer distance and maybe more prone to spitting belts. I have been using IPL for 938357CE. Cheers

    Hustler raptor 36” keeps throwing drive belt

    The drive belt on the raptor SD keeps throwing. I clipped a post the other day and it spat the belt immediately. Up until that point and after 290hrs, I have only had the belt come off once and that was when it wore out and snapped. There does not appear to be any damage to the Hydro drive...

    Hustler zero turn tyres

    If you do enough research you can generally get stuff from the states half price and that includes freight. The 20x8-10 tyres I can get locally in North Queensland for $120 ea. A side note, years ago I was going to put an ARB locker in my vehicle. I could get this Australian made heavy piece of...

    Hustler zero turn tyres

    I have found some tyres in the states for well under half price but can’t get them shipped out. My part number is 604503 for just the tyre or 606023 for a rim and tyre. Anyone know a good store I could deal with That would ship to Australia? I tried a 20x8.00-10 tyre (fitted on the 10x6 rim) on...

    Hustler zero turn tyres

    Its about brainwashing alright, convince suckers to pay $220 a tyre for something that costs less than $5 to produce and convince them it’s market dynamics. Tyre size was 20x6.5x10 on a hustler raptor36”. I can’t remember if it was the turf saver or not. It came with two options when I...

    Zero turn choice

    My vote is for hustler raptor. Bit pricey but great machine. I have a mowing business. Have over 200hrs on it. Drives are serviceable and fairly easy job. Just my two cents worth but Zero turns are death traps on hills. Will mow ok going up a hill but going down or across is a no go. I’ve had...

    String Trimmer Compression

    I think the new husqvarna 322l are not even making 90psi. Probably keep the compression low to reduce wear would be my guess. I asked the tech at local dealer and they had no idea what psi should be.

    Tool to remove oil filter easily on 2018 Simplicity Broadmoor?

    I don’t use anything but filter sockets these days. I’m sick of moving filter adapters that end up breaking or slipping. I did get long life out of a webbing style tool but no good in tight spaces. I bought a set online. AliExpress, eBay and others will have cheap filter sockets. You can buy...

    FR651 hp upgrade

    Bump in addition, has anyone modded these engines? I’ve seen what they are doing with some of similar displacement engines. Eg https://www.performance670.com/category/detail-product/predator-670-engine-parts they are supercharging etc. I wouldn’t want to go that extreme but a little extra...

    Replacement front tires, tire/wheel combo or tubes?

    Clean up the beads. If there is any rust scale, grass or dirt etc can leak air. Also just make sure you don’t have any ding on rim that might leak. I run tyre goo in all my gear and don’t get leaks anymore. It’s good stuff. It will plug up most leaks and easy to add

    Aftermarket coils

    Hi, I have a husqvarna 322l trimmer. Think it’s 2018. Coils dead and I don’t want to pay $100 for a new one. Are aftermarket worth trying and any recommendations? cheers mat

    BUYER BEWARE! JOHN DEERE NO LONGER COATING BOTTOMS OF MOWER DECKS (2020 42" S110 BUILT IN GREENEVILLE, TN. PLUS NO DRAIN HOLES IN SPRING LOADED IDLER

    Nothing you put on the underside will last. Even well manicured lawn with no dust, will still remove any coating back to bare metal over time. Add a little dust, sand or gravel and it gets sand blasted super quick. It’s amazing how abrasive just a little dust is.

    Spindle tacho

    Greetings, Has anyone ever added a tacho to their deck spindles? I’ve snapped a couple of belts on my hustler recently due to cutting really heavy grass while running a mulch kit. Driving by ear at the moment but every now and then the blades are locking up. Just wanting a visual...

    Greetings, I have the fr651 engine in my hustler and just looking for a bit more grunt as I run a mulch plug full time and need to keep the tip speed up. I have done a lot of research and from everything I found the block and running gear are identical to the fr730. The only...
