I rigged up a test stand with a 1.5 HP pump motor. I checked both hydraulic motors and both checked acceptable. I guess I may have put a new belt on incorrectly but for the life of me I don't see how. Any way the belt is put on except correctly, there is no tension. When I put in on, then...

You may be correct in that. I told the shop I wanted the old units. I want to jig up a test stand and check them out. I'll have to get the rpm from somewhere, then jury rig to a electric motor. I'm thinking they will check out ok assuming the routing was a problem to begin with. I've made...

I know, but this belt can only go on one way for the idler to function. In the back of my mind I think the repair shop didn't want to share what they did with my shop. My shop is scratching also. I have belt routing diagram and I'm sure my shop would have found something that simple. ??????????

Finally the mower is running. After taking to a shop I was told both motors were bad. I searched and purchased the best deal for both and delivered to shop. After a week the shop called to say both drive motors were installed but still would not operate so they were taking it to a dealer...

I am baffled too because both have failed. Only explanation I can think of is one failed and I kept using the mower until the other one failed as well. Thinking back to the day, I remember the right side being sluggish. I was spreading lawn feed, driving in an oval pattern always turning...

After many phone calls yesterday, I have learned no one wants to work on these things. An hour or two searching I purchased a set for $1500 including tax and shipping with a 5 day delivery. The rest of mower is in good shape so I hope this purchase was a good move. Compared to a new one I...

All is working as they should. I even replace the ideler spring.

No. It is on correctly and I crossed referenced the part number plus measured it. I have called many shops in my area and no one rebuilds the unit. If my sight was better I would have a go at it, instructions being on line and all parts available. Hydro Gear is mute, because they are...

Recently lost ground belt on Z248f mower. Belt replaced but now mower has a hard time moving. A little better in reverse but not much. No noticeable problem before belt was lost. Belt is tight and is not slipping on drive pulley. Are there any adjustments I am missing? Hope to hear from...

This is an old thread but interesting . I experienced a a similar problem yesterday but suddenly all was ok. Scratching my head........

/What adhesive works best to glue on a new seat cushion?

You said "it bogs down then stalls"! Do mean it sounds like it is straining then stalls? or do you mean it just stops running /

Where are you located? What size is your engine?

Finally got the battery out and new one in! But...... in my struggles I must have broken a wire somewhere. It starts fine but when engaging drive motors a safety shuts the engine. This mower is full of wiring, or so it seems. When the rain stops I'll jump on it again and try to figure out...

I followed those steps but cannot get the battery out of the opening. Tomorow I will start removing stuff then proeed.
