I am new to this forum, so here is a little info about me and my problem. I live in Oklahoma and am a residential user. I have 2 mowers, a 2005 John Deere LT180 that I purchased new. I really like the mower and it still serves me well. I have close to 500 hours on it and have had no major problems.
The second is a 2008 Hustler FasTrak SD 36, that I recently purchased, used. It has low hours and is in fair condition. One problem I have discovered is that the parking brakes do not work. I think they are electronically activated by a switch on each steering control. I have looked under the deck and found a switch for each control, but it looks like they are against the steering lever all the time. I cannot see any movement between the switches and control lever when I set or release the control lever. Are there any Hustler owners familiar with this problem?
