You shared a detailed oriented step by step guide to this repair, that I know is going to come in handy for a lot of people. Thanks for taking the time to make this instructional video amd sharing. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you, your family and your adventures.

Great video shows exactly what I needed on my Hustler Fastrak mower. One question for you I have. When removing the oil pump housing to replace the o ring, does this drain the transaxle of all hydro fluid? Should I be prepared for a flood of oil to come rushing out once the housing is removed? Again, Thanks for taking the time to make our lives a little easier with your expertise & skills. mardyn

It will drain the whole transaxle and reservoir so If full, yes it will. Thank you so much.

Boy that was an excellently produced video explaining the process clearly and concisely...I don't have a Hustler but a JayZeePro that I just inherited and it likewise leaks like a sieve. Was dreading the rebuilding or worse the replacement of the Hydros but I'm feeling pretty confident now to replace that O ring first...and as for those bees, I likewise have one of those flowhives and that too is the smart way to manage 'em...keeps 'em happy and us too. Cheers.

Nice video. So it is ok to run regular synthetic motor oil in these hydro gear transmissions? I have a Hydro gear ZT 2800 in a cub cadet m50 tank do you know which oil weight to use? Not sure if its 20W 50 or 15W 40

The Hustler manual states motor oil. I use Castrol GTX 20W-50.

Just ran across this video while searching for an answer to the leak on my Gravely with the ZT3100 Hydro-Gear transaxles. Didn't see it mentioned in the video, but I assume you have to drain the oil from the transaxles before pulling the plate and replacing the O-ring? I just replaced the oil and filters and found the leak afterwards...not wanting to drain the oil again if possible.
@RidgeLife Жыл бұрын
Mine was almost empty from The leak but yes. You definitely don’t want to reuse contaminated oil.

It gets out via the bypass valve during the vent process.
