Concerning the little dampers on each steering lever of my mower(XDX), is it possible that the rod could just unscrew itself from the knuckle at the front, as opposed to it being broken? Very low hours, and while I haven’t accessed the damper yet, I can see the threaded end of the rod just...

I love the simplicity of the Jungle Jack. I’m looking at it, as my bottle jack on my 8 year old, cheapie, Harbor Freight died. My question is, for those of you who’ve used it, will a 74 year old (and not terribly robust) man be able to use it to lift my ZT from either end, or should I just...

I just traded my Raptor SD for a new XDX. The deck is WAY harder to raise with the foot pedal on the XDX. I saw the factory Deck Lift Assist kit and wondered if there was a downside to installing it. Anyone here installed/ used it? If there is no downside to having it, I think my 73 year old...

Having a little difficulty locating this. I picked up a new Raptor XDX today, and am looking for a shop manual. Question, is there a manual available in print, or will I have to download and print from PDF file online? Thanks, Skip

I’ve got a Hustler Raptor SD, with the Kohler PRO, 25 HP, KT740. I just found a stud, about 5/16 X 1 5/8”, with a nut still attached, laying on the frame plate that the engine mounts on. The stud itself apparently vibrated out of its resting place. It was almost directly under the spark plug...

As many here know, the discharge opening on the Raptor SD 54, is the pits. (At least, on my 4 yr old version) I saw a very short YouTube video on a bolt on discharge opening that is attached after part of the original opening is enlarged, and the strip at the bottom of the original opening is...

Didn’t want to pull a valve cover if I didn’t have what I needed to replace it. Can someone tell me if my valve covers use a gasket, or does the factory just use RTV Silicone, or equivalent? The engine is Kohler 7000 series, specifically the KT 740, 25 hp, 725cc. Thanks, Skip

Didn’t realize until rummaging through my tool box, that my serrated head socket selection is severely sparse. Could someone tell me what size I need for the valve cover screws on my Koehler 25 horse, 7000 series, KT 740 ? Thanks, Skip

Went to my Hustler dealer yesterday to buy blades, filters, etc. When I asked for transmission filters, as I was going to change the fluid and filters at about 65 hours, I was told by the dealer that unless I was having trouble, that Hustler recommended that I not change the transmission fluid...

I bought a Raptor SD 54 about four months ago. Have used it very little as we are in long term drought. It is a great machine that starts great, runs great, and cuts a beautiful lawn. No negatives at all for what I need. Do have one issue though. Can someone tell me why, at full speed, it...

Just wondering what YOU do to keep your mower as clean and looking good as possible, W/O doing damage to it. Your thoughts on maintaining appearances appreciated. Skip

Bought my first ZTR mower this week. A Hustler Raptor SD 54". Installed my engine guard today. This thing is really sweet. Being mowing for most of my 67 years (around 55 or so), but have never owned anything close to this. Spent most of my life on a Snapper Comet and 25 horse Huskee. Can't...
