Drain hose replace on 2004 hustler 60 inch super z model 927038. With sideways Kohler engine.
I need to replace the drain hose and I was wondering if anybody has a link to a video on how to do it. It looks like you have to lift the engine up to get the failed one off. What a horrible design. I am the original owner and I did a fix on it but it only lasted 10 years and now it’s leaking and I need to replace it. Also, if you have figured out something different to put on there, any help would be appreciated. I have heard you have to remove all the pulleys and belts from underneath and lift the whole engine up to replace this. What a nightmare. I want to do it myself and I’m sure it’s extremely expensive if I take it to a shop.

Well if it has a hose drain then someone replace the oil drain in the past.

Hustler 796672

And yes you got job ahead of you to access it. I did the same ZTR engine twice in one week back in the Summer. Half a day job when you got the tools and know what you are doing.
Now flexable Drainzit drain hose can used as a replacement.

ANd just think I got a customer that has a transplants Briggs engine and the only to change the air filter is to remove the tail fin.

Crap! I am the original owner. It came with the flexible one. I’d like to install the one you showed. Can you give me any help. Maybe best to pay someone.

Well you can check out the Rotary 12259 as the aftermarket version.

Thanks much for help. Do I have to remove the exsaust. Do I have to remove the pulleys? How much comes off to get to engine bolts.

The muffler will need to comes but the exhaust manifold pipe usually stays on.

 

[Campinman]

Ok. Thanks. How about underneath, the pulley's etc. Boy glad I had the muffler off about 3 years ago. Hope not fused to manifold again.

I know u have much better things to do than answer my questions and want you to know I appreciate it. I hate paying someone to do something I may be able do.

Go back and delete your new post with the same subject. It will not increase your exposure, but will cause confusion on getting answers and tends to irritate the people that do most of the question answering.
