I'm still under warranty (5 Year), but paying them to come & get it would be way more than an idler would cost. Certainly not a water contamination issue, as I have never had water near it, not even rain. And I engage blades at lower mid rpm's then throttle up as my book advises.

That's what my Dad preached & having common sense was important as well..

Are you seeing these idler pulleys going bad early on newer machines ? Mine is 2021

Great advice, so far smooth, & no feet numbness, But my feet have some numbness off the mower. but will pay closer attention everything since you added to your advice.. What got me looking as I was blowing it off was, I thought I heard a slight bit of new sound. I'm gonna drop off belt &...

Yea, it is cool how it raises the deck to vertical, super easy to do your thing then..

Hoping my Liberty does good as well on my land only..

I will check all 3 idlers for smoothness & noise soon..

Some use fluid film or cooking oil spray, after good underside deck cleaning..

I believe that vid is referring to the new Speed Feed 500 head only.. Love my 400, old school.

Some remove that spark arrestor screen, to help keep ex port build up minimized. But you could also start a bad fire to the property.

A relative has a Hustler Raptor w/ Flip up deck. For easy under deck access, he is 82, I like that feature, but seems Hustler has dropped due to the additional $2k price for that option.

It is Part # 483422, approx 1/18" side play, normal or not ? Only the one pulley.. May be beginning of very slight noise down there. Only has 58 hours on it.

Rock on Scrub !!

Yep, I used Amsoil 20-50 for Hydros when I serviced mine.

Agree with that, My Toro & now My Liberty were both off the marked cut height setting.. But I fixed that & Even compensated for me on board. Yes I'm pretty **** about some stuff.. Otherwise it keeps me up at nights..

Agreed.

Well spoke too soon on 2 things (wife is gonna become X-wife) & her Linc threw 2 codes for the turbo. P0299 & P144L Turbo under boost & Evap Emission Purge I think. Not my problem.

I remember reading .030" tip x .030" up the angle.

Ditto....

Agreed 100%..

Welcome Aboard !

To get 2 more inches of height, tires would have to be 4 inches taller overall.

You are holding the spark plug base metal to touching the engine metal ? This completes the circuit. Maybe try & test again.

Agreed 100%......

It can be a conundrum..

probably something like that.

Wack is a word in street lingo. I agree about proper spelling, but I always just spell it weed-wacking, when noting it on my calendar.

I upgraded to "Husqvarna Titanium Force" line. Never had a weld issue since.. I do only buy 1/2 lb donuts of it at a time. Because this line is lasting for 1 year per spool load (20 ft).. So 1/2 lb lasts me about 3 or 4 years.

:cool:

Yep, I mix @ 50:1 using the Amsoil & my stuff runs much better than when I used Red Armor..

I don't think that is excessive.

I had that issue on the old string I was using.. Too hot a load for the string. I upgraded string & haven't had issue since..

That's why I hang around here... Lots of good help, I love learning new stuff.

One thing is not to feel a need to Totally fill the gear head. One can cause more heat by overfull. Just a pump or two. Depending how much you use it. , Mine I do lots of vertical edging, & regular edging /whacking as well.

Cool, see you cut 45* on each corner.. Definitely should help save yer shins.. My yard wagon is small too, & can dump easily. Very helpful..

They make an upright grab bar to bolt on the frame to easier mount & dismount your machine. My cousin is 82 & has put one on his Hustler Flip up deck. Game changer according to him. One could fab up something similar as well.

Thinking same thing. Pull spark plug(s) & try & rotate engine by hand in correct rotation.

Interesting.........

Welcome Aboard !

Do you have a volt meter ? Yes test or have battery tested for resting voltage, & Load tested for Amps.. Auto parts stores can do this FREE if you don't have the tester. But if you do, check voltage, get it started & test voltage again, this should now read higher if Alt is putting out...

Cool, we call that "fish plating" the frame, on truck frames etc. Railroad uses same technique to join train track rails together.

It was just meant as a joke.. But I do keep a small water bottle on board, just in case ya catch a mouthful of dust or whatever, a quick swig of water will be welcome..

On the workbench, you lay the trimmer head up against something, so it can't slide away. Lay grease gun next to it. Hold the hose end to the head hole, & other hand to give gun a pump.

OK, mowed 54 minutes today, gauge did go down appropriately imo.. Maybe it's me, but seems like it is reading a bit higher than what it should be for gas in tank... I know it's not rocket science precision. Just seems to have changed a bit.. But mower sure runs fine. I can understand...
