Hello fellow lawn maintenance guys and gals. I have just upgraded from a 29 year old 42" Craftsman to a 60" Hustler SD. Hopefully, now there will be less time on the mower and more time on the Harley.

One thing often overlooked are the grounds and the wires to those grounds. Take them apart, clean them up and replace what needs replacing. If you end up replacing the cables, don't be afraid to go to a larger gauge. Also, don't overlook how the engine connects to the chassis. I had a friend who painted his motor all pretty when he replaced it, and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't crank at all. Paint and corrosion are insulators, so he had a painted engine and crud breaking his circuit. We cleaned off a single bole hole, used a new bolt and cleaned the bottom of the chassis where it mounted. It spun nicely.
