Lifting the entire deck up, leveled for Hydraulic Fluid change. requires the following..... 1 Floor Jack 4 Jack Stands

Thanks fella's for the helpful info! (y) Yes I do have a couple of floor jacks, jack stands and ramps so it should not be difficult lifting the rear up but my main concern was lifting the front of the mower with floor jack. Though now I am considering the ramps as an option concerning lifting...

Hello fellow members..... Getting ready to perform the "Hydraulic System Fluid Changing Procedure" on my Hustler Raptor Flip Up and would like any or all suggestions as to "how to safely lift up the entire mower" off the ground on to jack stands (in accordance with the Service Manual "Purge...

Yes I guess that is one way of going about it but.....No it is not necessary to "drop the entire deck and flip it over" to gain access to the under side of it. You would need to raise the entire mower to gain access to the under side of the deck.....that is "IF" you are willing to do so...if not...

If you do not perform any routine maintenance, like once a year (such as replace spark plugs, engine filter replacement, oil and oil filter replacement, fuel filter replacement, add fuel additive to gas tank when filling up and don't leave any gas in the engine over an extended long period of...

Exactly as MECHANIC MARK has stated......also clean the underside of the deck real good....by hand (use a wire brush, chisel, etc.) do not use water, pressure washer, etc. to remove any and all stuck dirt, grass, etc.....if not....leaving "dirt" on the underside of a mowers deck will really do...

That is basically what I have had to do under my mower deck. I gave up on trying to prevent build up of grass, dirt, etc. from accumulating under the deck after each time that I mow the lawn (which is a little over an acre). Since then, that is, after I am totally finished cutting the lawn I...

Specific's ! Folks....always, always be SPECIFIC and as detailed as possible to your situation and always "double check" when typing in the correct engine numbers, mower model numbers, etc., etc., etc. It's understandable that individuals come here for help (because that's part of what this...

I have a Hustler Raptor Flip-up with a 54" deck that I've owned, brand new, since 2015.....so it definitely is a different model altogether, from yours. Don't know if this helps or not but check your Operators Manual concerning your Deck Clutch, engaging, etc.? The Operators Manual (pages 3-10...

Just my $0.02 here...... Since you've had this mower.....did you ever have both of the mowers Hydraulic Pumps serviced? Fluid changed along with both filters changed as well...etc.? This is where I would first start to diagnose the problem then proceed from there....it's your call. If do...

😄......if that individual knows how to read and comprehend English....then they more than likely know how to write (in this case type) in English. Though it's just someone posting a scam of some sort....that's all that is.....Moderator please delete that post.

From the picture you provided and from what I could make out.....it's possible that the model number could be either one of the following: 929873 or 920873. :unsure:

The only time I will "tap" a spark plug gap is to make sure I can set the correct "gap space" as required in accordance with the engines owners manual spec's......so always check with your ZT mowers "engine owners manual specification" section concerning spark plug gapping, etc. Other than...

I totally agree! At first I used to think, how could anyone with an engineering degree design something so cumbersome and senseless.

It is intentionally and deliberately designed that way. Reason being....so that you (the owner/buyer of the product) would get discouraged and not want to mess with the hassle, etc. and just take it to an Authorized Service center (hopefully Hustler) and have them do it. Of course if it is not...

Since you've had this mower.....did you ever have both of the mowers Hydraulic Pumps serviced? Fluid changed along with both filters changed as well...etc.? This is where I would first start to diagnose the problem then proceed from there....it's your call. If so then start in section 4-1 (as...

This is a very informative thread on the subject. Thanks to all those who have contributed.

Thanks for posting and sharing both the video on replacing the belt as well as for the quick release knobs for removing the plastic covers on the deck! I just ordered some for mine!

Maybe try to modify...and replace the existing float with a cork type style?....see if that makes the difference? Good luck! If not then...... https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/threads/hustler-raptor-flip-up-fuel-gauge.40136/

Your best bet would be to contact Hustler Corp. directly and inquiry within on the the specific's of your model mower compared to the current changes that are associated with your model, etc. https://www.hustlerturf.com/contact Basically meaning.....who else would be able to give you info on...

😂.......well that's good to know.....even though I had originally posted two different online sites that had the kit available......last year (July 2022....see post #2 above).....and hustlerlawnmowerparts was one of them! 😂 Well I guess....better late than never.

Wow...I have to hand it to both of you guys for your patience. Though I can fully understand and comprehend on ordering direct from a authorized sales and service dealer, etc. because I would have done the same........ but even though they say that it shows in stock and it's been weeks (now...

Thanks for posting and sharing.....excellent advice. (y)

No.....the gas gauge has nothing to do with the deck not flipping up. The gas gauge not operating correctly is a problem all it's own (that is "IF' your gas gauge is the round glass type?). Hopefully the following thread on the gas gauge failure will help? :unsure...

:oops:

Download a copy of the Service Manual on your particular (specific) model of your Hustler mower and it should show you which belt is needed (part #) and how it is installed on the deck, etc.

Uh....OK.....I can understand that.....but you also bought the problem of cutting the grass along with it. I like trees as well and have planted a few on my property but always thinking ahead and never to allow them to interfere with me cutting my lawn (I live on over an acre). I didn't say...

Maybe consider having some of those trees removed, thus allowing for more room to actually get a ZT mower (or any other type of mower for that matter) with a large enough deck (like 60"-80") to not only cut the property but also to allow less time cutting? Yes at first it would be a bit time...

Click on the first link below. There is just one review about the item that you are inquiring about. Just maybe it could help you out? It appears though that Hustler Corp. no longer is selling it? https://www.foards.com/products/127403...

Sorry to read about your dilemma with our Hustler Raptor 54" catching fire. A heat shield is a good add on to the muffler section. Nothing should be ruled out, although this is way after the fact that it actually happened, by chance was there any dry grass clippings that were possibly left...

Regardless of what anyone else thinks.....awesome and excellent modification and very well detailed and presented. Hopefully it all works out great for you. Where did you purchase the kit from?.....or did you just purchase each individual part separately? If separately, then where did you...

Good for you! Glad you got it going/working again! (y)

Try either one of the following places? https://www.hustlerlawnmowerparts.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIz-2Nu8XB9wIVkWxvBB1_IwTSEAAYASAAEgJcSvD_BwE https://www.themowershop.com/

Yes keep us all posted on the final outcome, what was done to fix it and specifically details on why & what was causing the fuse the blow. Lastly.....yeah the following advice is too late but "never" spray water on a ZT mower to clean it......NEVER-EVER! (only under the deck-blades, etc. for...

Good, glad you did! (y) Care to share or explain in detail exactly how you were able to solve the situation?

If you are concerned about how to go about lifting your mower, check your mowers owner manual or service manual and it should guide you as to how to go about lifting, jacking up, etc. your mower the "proper way" without causing any type of damage to it.

Just my $0.02 here.... Exactly how old is the battery? A battery could indicate 12V when checked with a meter, etc. but if just one of it's cells is bad or going bad that would be one indication that the mower will not start or having a hard time starting? If battery is not that old I would...

I purchased my Hustler Raptor Flip Up way back in 2015 from a so called 'Big Box Store" online from Lowe's, was shipped straight to my house directly from the factory. Since then I have 'never' had any sort of "problematic" with the deck lift design? Yes the Hustler Raptor Flip Up is not...

FACT:....Just goes to show you that no matter where you buy your Hustler ZT mower from, Big Box Store or authorized Hustler dealer, if your mower is going to have problems/issues it's going to happen. Definitely nothing wrong from buying a ZT mower from the so called "Big Box Store". It's a...

Good that you got that "Raptor Flip Up". That special feature sure does make life a bit easier for your basic lawn guy. But unlike yourself I wasn't going to wait around to see if I was going to have back problems, etc. on changing blades and cleaning under the deck. I purchased a Raptor Flip...

Why not just download the Service Manual or Owners Manual directly for your specific model? https://www.hustlerturf.com/manuals#model-number
