What a nightmare to assemble, but we did it. J is 77, and I'm 67 so took us all morning 😢, but thanks to your video, we knew what to do. Part was inexpensive on Amazon. The window is over kitchen sink, awkward to reach 😳 ! Was going to replace other side while the window was out. Just couldn't go thru that again. Really appreciate your instructions.

All those hustler s need a heat shield

Great job! This would be great for other uses. Question, can we make it less wide to attach a 6' gate door to this abor? Would you need to beef up the wood being used? Would your build be good for a standalone on concrete slab? This would be a great update video idea! Thanks in advance for the feedback!!!

Just clean off the mower deck with a small pressure washer BEFORE you mow, not AFTER you mow. If AFTER, use compressed air. In any event, don't clean it every time. I clean mine about every five years! The outside of the motor was so caked on you couldn't see it!

Is that a machete stored in your hood?

Thank you man, i changed mine on my own. Cheers.

Thank you so much!

I hate these kinds of toggle bolts. When you have more than one hole that you want to run your toggle bolts thru, it becomes ridiculously impossible to use both the bolts at the same time. Let alone the stupidity of pulling the object to tighten the bolts. Stupid design if you ask me.

Thank you, very informative video,

Anything 2 *uck the consumer

thanks. very useful. did you pressure wash just the boards you replaced? how long did you wait before you sealed? should the deck be painted to make it last longer?

Good class

Hi Dennis, Great video! What drive belt should I get for a YTA 22v46? would it be the same one you showed in the video? Thanks for your help!

Thank you for sharing this. Do you have to block both blades? I blocked the blade I was trying to replace and the other still turned. I never could get the dang bolt loose with a breaker bar.

The holy grail, I found the fix to my issue. Thanks man! Also I adjusted my rear brakes and now my rear brake light isn’t coming after I just the rear brake 😭

76mm is 3 inches. edit: okay that was posted before watching the rest. That was a well done video.

Thank you!

Great idea....thanks for this.

Appreciate your effort on this video. Well done

Thank you so much. ❤

Could someone with a key to the lock open it though, from outside? That's what I'd worry about, if staying in an air B & B...neat gadget...

I have the same unit with over 400 hours on it and I'll give you my two cents. Bought new from Lowes. The engine, if maintained properly just won't quit! Starts easy but it's louder than I would like. The exhaust exits forward of the front axle. Now for the drawbacks and tips. Changing the oil is a messy business! Remove the drain plug and oil paints your frame and deck! Install a 1/4 turn ball valve on a short nipple in the drain hole. Add a barb hose fitting on the end and your golden. When it's time to change the oil, put a hose on the barb fitting and the other end in the catch pan. Turn the valve and watch the dirty oil fill the pan without spilling a drop! The transmission release wire in the back is TOO THIN! It often folds when attempting to re-engage the drive! My trans was sticking in forward and would not reverse! Had to tear it all down, clean the grunge from the sheaves and lube the sheave ramps with EP lithium grease. Now, the engagement is smooth and it transmits power well. Blade R/R for sharpening is a pain but I got a solution! Unplug the headlights (who mows in the dark?) and remove the hood. I put a chain from one frame rail over the forks of my tractor and hook to the other frame rail. Raise the forks and I get plenty of room to work under it without damage to the body or worrying about bending the parts sitting on the jack stands. When leveling your deck, measure from the reference surface (flat asphalt or concrete) to the cutting edge of the blade both front to back and side to side. This will reduce scalping in turns and provide a smoother cut. Without power steering, this thing will wear you out! Put Torington needle bearing washers between the steering knuckle and the axle; makes turning it at slow speeds easier.

Thank you

How much weight can common drywall hold?

Very good tutorial, thank you, possibly saving me some money on purchasing a new switch.....good job!!!

Do you pull the the rod back out when done?

I keep ruining the electric ones and everything I change a tub I have a hard time getting them to restart fkn mess

Thank you so much. Your instructions and the visuals were great and very helpful. Also your patient attitude while working in tight spots. Much appreciated.

I realize this Video is old, BUT My 02's Oil plug is a tight fit 19mm. And being 6'4" Large build , I can fit under My Jeep a bit to get the plug out . Long Arms lol And with large hands I can only get the Filter out through the Bottom using an offset Band wrench with a long 1/2" extension .. And I will NEVER use Fram anything on My Vehicles.... Thanks Mike M, Central Wi.

Thanks for this

Dennis would you have an idea on what's causing my drive to stretch. Have replaced it twice on my lgt 2654 Husqvarna mower.

You can get grease guns now that you just screw the grease tube on so no need to open anything, this grease gun is old school and a waste of time, he makes it look easy had one of them and you get covered in grease and some times the tube is too big to get in it drove me mad and dumped it in a rage

Thank you💞

Good video. I might add two things. When greasing the steering kingpins I always raise the front of the machine and let the wheels and axle hang free so that the grease gets into the contact areas. There also is likely a fitting in the middle of the front axle to lubricate the pivot. If you jack up the machine by the frame it will unload this area allowing the grease to get into the contact areas. By doing this maintenance the tractor will steer like new for a long time. Thanks for posting.

I like 2" blade height. I have plastic caps from spray paint cans that are exactly 2" high, I slip them under the blade tips on the ends side to side, then a little less in the front blade tips turned to the front, and a little more with blade tips turned to the rear. Yep, getting a tape under there is a hassle. Look around, plastic caps are in all sizes, or you could cut some pvc or something.

I just completed installing the side rails to the frame, but the door is stuck in the middle where the latch is (won't open). The door will move top and bottom, but the middle section is jammed. Any thoughts? I popped the orange handle holes and disengaged the orange door holders. I don't want to break it, but forcing it doesn't seem like an option.

Great video. You show where to adjust including what wrench to use.

Great instructions

I’m hoping you see this. My craftsman left side deck is a full inch lower than the right. I found that but you were talking about, but it’s very hard to turn, and when it does turn it’s not raising (or lowering) the deck. I don’t think it’s moving up the threads. Ideas what I can do?

Thanks for this video ! I have this same set up but forgot to remove the high pressure hose before storage and it froze over winter and cracked the pump housing. Normally I would scrap it but it is a gift from my brother who is no longer with us and am determined to keep it going. That Honda motor starts everytime ! ! Great how to video ! Thanks again !

Can you do a drive belt replacement video? Can’t find one for the X

Dennis, great video. About how much grease did you add to each spindle? I've heard numbers from 1-2 oz up to 7-8 oz. Thanks.

I found a loose and broken tension spring (at least that’s what I think it is) when I was cleaning the mower deck. Is it simple to replace? Can you offer guidance. Thank you.

I grease my spindles every 5 to 10 hours and after washing the mower.

Just followed along and fixed my turn signal today, also a 2003 Shadow ACE. Thanks for your video

At 1:36, is the bypass lever just above the transaxle engaged or not? Engaged meaning the tractor is in transport mode? My bypass lever broke, and i'm hoping I can just manually turn it to engage rather replacing it as it seems like a large task. Thanks for your time!

My mower deck had crazy bearings that were imperial on the ID and metric on the OD. I could only find cheap Chinese replacements so I bored and sleeved my housings to take standard bearings.

Great video & info... thank you!!! Subscribed... 👍🏼

Finally a good post on the cheap way to keep up spindles
