Hi all
So my mower has 9 hrs on it and now I have a problem
I was mowing some stragglers really light mowing and my blades cut out I checked the seat switch but when I removed my ear muffs I could her a loud knocking noise sounded like it was coming from the engine the noise is there when blade switch is on or off either way the blades won't engage I'm thinking it's clutch related but it really sounded like the engine internals i stopped the motor and restarted once but sounded too bad to keep running so I shut it down and left it in the middle of the lawn has anyone come across a similar problem or has any advice I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow cheers

Yeah, that doesn't sound good at all. Be sure to release the hydros if you need to push/tow it.

Did you check the oil level?


That was what I was going to suggest but then afterwards call Hustler Corp. and explain the situation, since it should still be under warranty.

They should direct you as to how to go about getting in contact with a Hustler Authorized Sales & Service place for warranty repairs if needed.

Good Luck.

Kohler powered? Does it or was it vibrating more than normal?
