So I have a zero turn hustler just out of warranty. The problem started a while ago, but thought I had it fixed. What happens is that after an hour of mowing, when pushing the right handle forward or back, it starts to get a grinding noise. The sound gets louder the more I continue. Eventually, I have had it happen where the right handle will not respond at all. Once I let the mower cool, or wait a day, I can start mowing again and the grinding is gone for about an hour. I don't have a local dealer anymore, so I need to get it repaired, but when I had a guy look at it, since he wasn't driving it for an hour, he can't diagnose the problem.
Any help appreciated!
