    Drive Belt Replacement

    I have a 2014 Raptor SD and have wrestled with that drive belt a few times. A couple of years ago I added the frame reinforcing kit from Hustler that minimizes frame flex and that has helped a great deal with my rough 3 acres of yard. I also added a brace or two that wasn't on my mower, one in...

    Hustler X-One adjustable seat

    I can't help you with tilt, but I recently put a suspension under the seat of my Raptor SD 54" and these rails let me move the seat forward and back. In my case no drilling was required: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174207307620

    Issue with my Hustler Raptor SD 60.

    You might want to watch this video to see if there is anything you're overlooking fluid wise. You might want to redo a drain/fill/purge to make sure the right hydro has enough fluid. I followed this last year on my 2014 Raptor SD and it it went pretty smoothly, except note you'll need to...

    Hustler Raptor SD 48" Grass Buildup under the Deck and Discharge Issues

    I mow 3 acres with a 54" Raptor SD that I bought used from the previous owner of our house about 3 years ago. My discharge used to clog while mowing and between mowing large clumps of grass would drop on my garage floor. Cleaning the deck was a messy and smelly job so I asked the dealer about...

    I added a seat suspension kit to my 52" Hustler Raptor

    I realize this is an old thread, but I found it searching for a suspension solution for my 54" Hustler Raptor SD. For those not aware Seat Warehouse is now unfortunately closed. I was hoping to get sliders from them so I wouldn't have to use spacers, but it looks like my only option now is a...

    Help for a first time blade replacer?

    Not really sure how one could find the Hustler tool cumbersome or not very helpful. It just slips over the end of two blades and keeps them from moving when breaking the nut. If that other clamp is cheaper and works on all three blades then that would be the better buy. I couldn't get my...

    Added some LED lights to my Raptor SD

    I was mowing a couple of weeks back and it got dark on me also and I was having trouble seeing where I had cut. I went inside and got my Light-N-Carry rechargeable LED light and the extra strong magnet held it securely to the front of my Raptor SD. It was perfect for the job and requires no...

    Help for a first time blade replacer?

    If you have trouble breaking the nuts loose try the Blade Removal Tool (Hustler pn# 381442). Those bolts are torqued to 118 ft lbs (per my owners manual). This tool slips over the ends of two blades and keeps them from turning while you break the nuts loose, but I still needed a breaker bar...

    Replacing your blades

    I fought for a few months trying to remove my blades before I broke down and bought the Blade Removal Tool (Hustler pn# 381442). Those bolts are torqued to 118 ft lbs (per my owners manual). This tool slips over the ends of two blades and keeps them from turning while you break the nuts loose...

    Would you buy the same mower again?

    When we bought our house 3 years ago I bought the owners 54" Hustler Raptor SD and have been very pleased with it. I've got a little over 3 acres to mow and at a tad over 400 hours the Hustler is still doing great. Aside from oil and filter changes, all I've had to contend with was a belt...

    New KY Member with Hustler Raptor SD

    Hello, we bought a house with 3 acres last July and I also purchased the owners Hustler Raptor SD 54" mower. There was a learning curve since this was the first zero turn I had driven, but after having to replace the blade belt things settled down. I went from taking 4 1/2 hours to mow down to...
