Is the pump lever making full travel in the forward direction? Also, is the reservoir full?

Before you go any further, open up the dash again, attach a wire at the ignition switch igniter tab. (carefully) Run the other end down to the starter solenoid exciter tab if it is a Kohler for testing purposes only. If it spins over. What now is still affected by the fuse blowing? I have some...

Grab yourself an action camera with either a super heavy duty magnetic mount or clean the surface of the area you intend to use the suction cup mount so the camera doesn't fall off. Now, place the tiny camera along with a decent led light in there with you so you can film the drive belt. You're...

Great job. Most of us put voltage meters or some other switch in the holes so they are always filled. Are you a member of Hustler Mower Owners Group in Facebook?

The original bolts were grade five. But then, you shouldn't have any problems with the grade five bolts as long as you keep them tight. Check them at least once a month and you'll be set for many years to come.

We have a lot of dealers in the Hustler Mower Owners Group in Facebook that will jump in and help you.

TheHustler, You are correct and that manufacturer ventilation system was good in theory, however, it can also push fuel all over the floor if the tank is over filled. I raised the fuel ventilation to the bottom of the fuel filler neck thereby keeping the tank from pushing fluids out of the...

ukrkz, If you'd cut the enforcement bar down to .375 (3/8") your problems will be all gone. That gets the top of the enforcement bar below the blade throwing out the clippings. What you've done is a part of the problem, however, you left the real offending problem is the clippings still have to...

Here is a modification that will be pretty much all you need to make your discharge chute perfect for your Raptor. It will also help maintain a modicum of safety for you and others around the discharge chute by retaining the lower portion of the enforcement bar. Go check out the videos and you...

The part number is in the drawing.

strohsman, Trick is, chamfer both sides of the holes in order that clippings can slide right on past the shoulders of the holes. Don't want even one clipping trapped and mine doesn't. All those I've drilled for locals will tell you the same thing. Here is a hole spacing layout. It can NOT be...

Gf101, That is usually from over filling the fuel tank with a stock height fuel vapor ventilation hose. If you lower the fuel level or raise the fuel vapor vent height, it should stop pushing fuel out of the tank at the fuel vapor fitting under the dash. Make sure you try lowering your fuel...

Mattj235, That little fella needs a pair of sticks and a pedal to help you out. Intercom system so you can tell him when you're ready to turn, how you're lining up the rows, etc. May as well give him some real education as he is enjoying the vibrations. Max Max

gatorblade, Do this modification instead. Much safer for her and those around her. Things just vent right on out of the 1 1/8" holes that are chamfered on inner and outer sides of the holes. Plus, all but impossible to get a hand or foot into the belt and pulleys thru those holes unless you...

CMOS, Check for these things as well: Max

Tpack, The vent line bert from downunda mentioned is attached in two locations on your SD54. One at the filler neck and the other on the right side up under the dash board of the fender. Raise your seat deck, look straight down from the left side to find a vent tube coming out from below the...

Hello Chairman, Sorry to hear you're not happy with the Raptor. I'm going to the last part of your post first. Raising the rear of your deck will not make a problem go away, if anything, it can make things worse depending upon how dense your fawna. If one were to raise any portion of the deck...

Here is the scale up of the soon to be available removable Raptor grass catcher deck filler block off plate. The plate will have either 5 or 6 tabs that a screw will go thru, then thru the deck and into a welded nut on a full tab below the deck. This is for those that have totally removed the...

Highway61, I used a step drill bit. The holes are one inch which is the distance from the end of the radius coming down from the top of the guard to the beginning of the radius beginning on the bottom. In other words, in the flat between the two radius. The holes are one inch in diameter with...

Highway61, One thing you need to do is my belt guard upgrade / modification. It will solve any and all clogging of the belt guard. Thus it will keep clippings from being forced between the belt and pulley. I'll add a picture or two of the modification for you. Max

Jelly Roll, Just use the blades that comes on it and run them at WOT. If you're not cutting wet or extra tall grass, I don't think you'll have any problems and the bar across the chute opening isn't actually a problem for anyone other than a small amount of capturing clippings debri. I did a...

blu, Raise the seat deck, move the sticks on each side and watch the safety switches at the bottom of the stick pivots. If either of them has moved away from their appointed position the plunger on the switch will be out too far. If this happens, when the sticks are then in the drive position...

Mr. Mower, I have not as of yet. I have several other modifications to do videos on which include: Anderson quick connect battery connector, adding an eight circuit fuse panel in order to add things such as front and rear lights, motorcycle type flashing lights in the event some idiot uses this...

Mr. Mower, I did prime the area to be painted. I used Rustoleum Bare Metal Prime in White. I used Rustoleum Marigold. The mowing test went off today. I only put paint on for the mowing test. I am amazed at the modification as not one clipping touched the lowered reinforcement. I purposely...

Here is some research I have been doing on the comparisons of all the HydroGear pumps.

Alright, here is what I've done to get the deck blade guard down below the blade to make the guard doesn't encumber the exiting clippings. The paint on the outside of the guard is temporary and that surface was not prepared for paint. Thus, it has some masking tape still on it. You'll see it in...

Here you go! Proof the ole SD60 gets dirty. Ain't it a shame?!! The two pictures were on purpose as a joke and to see if I could get the grass to clump or wind row. Sucker refused to do either just like in this video. I backed it outside and gave it a quick rinse off a little while after the...

Boyler, Installed my flex forks today. Couldn't wait for the paint to dry and got out on it and ran it across curbs, sharp edged concrete, sprinkler valve indentions, etc. Glad I put them on. Between the forks and the suspension seat kit from Seat Warehouse, now the stinking thing seems as...

Earl, Have mine on the mower. However, they aren't torque'd into place as of yet due to wet paint. I know, wait two days for the pain to dry. I'm not good at watching paint dry. Here is what mine look like after lightly sanding and painting before installation. I know, not the same color. I...

I was "made fun of" for showing the cardboard templates of the deck filler for the top and front (leading edge of the deck discharge chute). I know, I took it as it was meant, funnin'. Anyhow, here are some photos of the templates taped into place to get an idea how it will look and I don't...

retfr8flyr, I installed the Seat Warehouse suspension seat kit under my SD60 seat and it makes a huge improvement. I have the upgrade seat already and that rascal was trying to break my back which already has three fractures. Don't need any more back pain as it is. So, I'm betting you'll love...

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild Boob, This will get you into the summer time thinking!

This was a bit harder to get laying on the concrete with the mower not on a jack. The clutch cover is basically a piece of angle iron.

Although this is not metal paint, it will serve to make a good match for you. I would prefer removing a piece of the machine and have it color matched with enamel metal paint. You'll have to really clean the rust from the metal, use a couple of good coats of primer and I would go with a light...

Anybody have a nice set of plans for a mower lift table?
