I am replacing the idler pulleys. On the pulley on the right, if sitting in the seat, how tight should the bolt that goes through the deck that holds the arm on be tightened? How about the bolt holding the pulley to that arm? Should they be TIGHT! or a little loose to allow the arm to move?

I have changed all pulleys and still have this rattle and belt jump. Do I need to tighten the tensioner bolt more? Reason I ask, is I can remove the belt with lots of pressure by removing it around the pulley on the left… it isn’t easy, but can be done! This mower when new, with the blades...

I bought a new idler pulley for my ZT HD52...when spinning the shaft to check the bearing, it has a spot that you can feel it sort of bump when spinning it. I don't know how to really explain it. Is it a bad bearing? I assume I need to get another pulley?

I recently changed my spindles and thought it didn't look right but ran it anyway. Now, sure enough, I am shredding my belt. My middle spindle pulley looks to be sitting too high...I thought I had put everything back just like it was. Is that my problem...how can I fix this?

My deck is REALLY loud when the blades are engaged and I pretty sure it's the pulley bearings or spindle bearings. I would like to change them all...do all the bearings have bearings? Just trying to formulate a parts list before I get a chance to pull the mower out and look things over.

Where can I find a service manual for my HD52? I searched the Gravely site but only an owners manual popped up...

I am at the 100 hour mark and the dealer is telling me I need to service my hydros, which they can do for $250. What all is involved with this? How difficult?

I have a new echo 266 weedeater. When using it my arms start kind of cramping up and I feel like it isn't long enough for me...kind of like I am all hunched over to use it. Do I just need to adjust the handles on it? It looks like I can slide them towards the engine some.

Mower is a Gravely 52HD I took the mower in for its spring tune up...new blades, oil change, etc. The invoice said they changed all filters, oil, changed blades, leveled deck and checked air pressure in tires. When I took it in it was cutting perfectly. I got it back and the left side was not...

Is the Echo line at Home Depot the same as at the dealers? There is a substantial price difference and want to make sure I am comparing apples to apples.

My old Craftsman weedeater/brush cutter bit the dust last summer so I am needing a new one and looked at Echo the other day. I am needing one I can change the head from the string to a brush cutter blade for use out on the deer lease. I am looking at the SRM 266T...Any opionions on this?

HD52 with 23hp Kawasaki Took it in for oil change, new blades and new air filter...Grand total = $195 ! What the heck?? This sound right? I bet it was all done in less than an hour, probably half hour tops! Guess I need to do this myself every spring from now on, regardless of warranty or not!

Mower has 23hp Kawasaki, just over year old. When engine is cold at startup, get large puff of smoke. It does not do it when engine is warm. Is this normal? Dealer is saying it is!

I have a cyclone rake lawn vacuum that I use during the winter for leaf cleanup...is it ok to tow with these mowers?

What difference does rear wheel size make? Would the 22" tire be better than the 20" tire for any particular reasons?

I have decided on Gravely but am having a hard time deciding between the HD and the Pro Turn, which I think is the next higher level mower. What are the main differences? I only have 1 1/2 acres to mow, but it is far from a highly manicured lawn and I want to make sure I buy something that will...

I have almost decided to pull the trigger on a Gravely ZT 52HD. I was quoted a price which is exactly the same as other dealers I have looked at online. Are they like a car dealership with room to haggle? I never like paying sticker price! :thumbdown:
