Good afternoon,

1st question:
I have a Raptor SD that I needed to get back to the house. I put the Hydro Gear axles in bypass and pulled it with my truck about 300 yards not exceeding 5 mph. Would this cause any damage to my axles?

2nd question:
my drive belt has broken because of a broken hydro drive mount bracket. Where is the best place to buy parts?

thank y’all!

I’ve got the parts manual and there’s a kit that replaces the brackets I’ve broken. I ordered it and the drive belt from themowershop.com.

I did tow my Hustler with ZT2800 axles yesterday and I’m 95% sure I had the bypass engaged. The RH axle was hard to pull back to the second notch on the bypass bar. Do you know what symptoms if any I would be able to observe with the machine running? I pushed it by hand for about ten yards before I got my truck. Would I be able to do this if I hadn’t bypass the hydros? Would my tires have not moved and tore up the ground for a bit while pulling with my truck?
