Ok... new here so bear with me. My search didn't do much for me... but I'm sure this has been covered.
I have an older (616) Grasshopper front deck that I use to do my lot... purely residential application. The thing slowly but surly had been getting less powerful in the left drive. Ive done any and all adjusting I can but it just doesn't help... the thing is shooting craps I'm afraid.
Seeing that I don't need to mow again for a few months I thought it might be a good project to pull the hydro and rebuild it over the winter. Anyone have experience with this? Can it be done at all with success and can someone with reasonable mechanical abilities handle it or is it best left to the pro's. I have a local dealer that can do the work but it's likely to cost me more that the dang thing is worth to have them tear it apart. Thanks in advance!!!
