My drive is a Hydro-Gear EZT
This is similar to most drives

Nice tutorial video John! I appreciate this as everyone has said these pumps are not serviceable as I knew they were!

Thanks for the video. I’m stumbling through this rebuild/fix and I call hydro gear and it’s tough trying to translate what parts I need. I’m NOT. a mechanic but I’m learning. Thanks.

Question? How did your center piece look like? Was it scratched up?

@jloney 7 жыл бұрын

mark kirk everything looked good

I replaced my center section and put it back together but it is still weak on the left side going up the hill with the blades engaged. I replaced the center section but not the pump or motor. Maybe I should replace both?

Been a professional mechanic for close to 50 years. It's pretty obvious you're NOT a pro. Here's a tip..... Guys that do a lot of "bench work" (component rebuilds) don't use baggies. Get a couple of "muffin tins" to hold the hardware as you disassemble. Start at the upper left corner of the tray and drop the parts in each individual cup (in order) as you disassemble. When you're done with disassembly, spin the tray 180 degrees and now you have your reassembly order. Sometimes case bolts aren't all the same length..... Get a piece of cardboard and draw a small picture of the case assembly. Note your starting point, poke a hole in the cardboard with a screw driver and lay the case bolts out in the order you remove them. As a professional mechanic, time is money. You don't have time to be fumbling around looking for parts, hardware, and bolts that you've strewn all over hell's half acre as you disassembled. Given a sledgehammer, cutting torch, and crowbar most guys could take the space shuttle apart. It's HOW you take it apart that gives you a chance to put it back together correctly and in this tax year.....

everyone works different you are just expressing how you do things he is not wrong nor right it is just his way of doing things but apparently it is not your way so he must be wrong

Lots of words here but no uploads on your channel. The proof is in the pudding bud

The difference is he's not a guy claiming to be a professional mechanic on KZfaq. As a professional for 50 years with your time being such a valuable commodity why are you wasting it on writing a short novel filled with negativity in the comments on KZfaq?

Real nice video, if u were Mr. Data from star trek I could keep up with some segments you decided to speed up to a point where it was useless. It is pretty much a waste of time to watch. Gotta go look elsewhere.
