    Replaced deck belt, but now the deck starts with the engine.

    Looking for some help figuring out why my mower deck is coming on when I start my engine. My deck belt blew up the last time I was mowing, so I just installed the new belt that arrived in the mail, but now when I start up my engine, the mower deck spins as well. Obviously the engine should...

    Help finding the right replacement belt?

    I have a hustler raptor, 52" deck. Made it part way through the lawn today and the deck belt exploded. I mean, I had to get a box cutter to get that thing off of the mower. I'm pretty sure it was at one time a single belt. :) Can anyone help me with what belt I need to replace it with so I...

    First year Hustler deck adjustment question

    I have a first year hustler raptor and I'm wondering if anyone can help me with how to adjust the deck height so that it is more even. I was recently in to the dealer to et replacement parts that had rattled off, but it appears this is another part of the original model that was done away with...

    Help adjusting power from arms?

    So I had a tire repaired, but it hasn't helped with the drive. I still feel like the right stick is operating at about 75%. If I drive with both arms full forward, I'll still do a circle. What can I look at to see why I'm at a loss of power on the right side? Anything that needs adjusting...

    Replacing your blades

    So I still can't get the first blade I tried to replace off yet, but I decided to try the other two. Came off no problem. Image below seems to suggest why not to wait seven years to replace your blades. I'm thinking if I can get the third one off and replace all three, I'll see a difference...

    Help for a first time blade replacer?

    I have a new set of blades, but have never replaced mine before. Should have many times, but I don't know how and am worried I'll do it wrong and send it flying through the neighbors window. :) Thanks for any good tutorials or tools needed lists etc.

    Looking for a part number to purchase

    So the bolt/nut etc. that holds the mower deck to the frame on my 52" Hustler Raptor rattled off and I couldn't find it. I put something back on to hold it together and it runs, but I've had a belt fall off recently and I'm guessing it's related to the deck being slightly out of line...

    mower just quit 30 seconds into mow???

    Just took the mower out, full engine, engaged the blades, did one strip and on turning it around for strip two, it stopped moving. Engine is fine, blades are fine, but it won't go with the zero turn handles. Any idea? I don't see any fluid, hear any noise, see any smoke, find a loose or...

    Rescue me!

    Bought a hustler raptor as soon as they came out. Had most of the problems on here that are mentioned. Broken bolts, bolts that shake loose and drop the mower deck no matter how much I check them, mower has never side discharged, terrible cut. All that aside, I need bigger help with getting...

    Help getting the mower deck reattached on my Hustler Raptor 52"

    Have had some frequent issue with my Hustler Raptor deck dropping on the left side as I sit on it. I've had to fix it a few times. I am wondering if anyone has any type of image where I can see if I have managed to put it back together correctly? I'm not really sure I have the parts correct...

    Raptor 52" always struggles to discharge grass

    Hey guys. First time rider owner. Purchased my Hustler Raptor whenever they first came out. About 130 hours on it I think. About 2.5 acre lawn. Seems to be really struggling to discharge here at the end of the season. I'm wondering if you can tell me anything helpful about mower blades and...
