i knew when i first saw the condition of your mower that YOUR WIFE DRIVES IT

Thank you I will buy put a extra spring on mine it randomly starts acting up

You saved me Buddy. I was on YT this morning looking for a recommended source for a transaxle for our Z254F. Saw your vid; went to ACE Hdw and got a spring $7.49 and in a bit I was driving up the steepest hill on our property. Thank you very much. Sub'd!

Wow, thanks. was online trying to find new right tranny for Z254F. Going to try this later today.

Do you have a video of you removing the rad support?

Im buying mine monday thanks for the review!

Sounds like you need a commercial mower. 359 hours of mowing in 3 years is way too much for a residential mower unless you want to buy a new mower every 3-4 years. Stop mowing 3 ft tall grass with it. Remember, right tool for the right job.

I had to search high and low for this. Bless you sir. Hope all is well in the 4 years sense!

Nice video, but Husqavarna z254f SUCKS! Big mistake! Will never own another one!

This is probably a very stupid question, but can you use a hover board charger for these? I found one of these selling for very cheap & i wanna buy it to take it as a small project. I have a hoverboard charger that used to be the one my brother would use to charge his hoverboard. The charger looks exactly like the one these use but i wanna be sure. I wanna know if it will work on these even if it charges the pocket bike slow or if i would need to buy a new one for it to be able to be charged

My spring hooks to other side(2023)

what month was this corolla made? I see a cable style throttle.

I own the exact same model. Hint: if you turn the blades off you can get off the mower and the engine will stay running. I've had mine for 3 yrs. Still starts up quick. Never had a minutes trouble out of it. And that lever you said that makes ot go faster, it does raise the rpms on the engine.

Dang it looks terrible for 400hrs

thanks for the video man, was wondering what the purpose of the spring is? and what doubling it does

Hey man I just bought mine yesterday, I’m only 19 and don’t know much. Was wondering if you could maybe make a video on maintenance ? And just general advice you have for owning this

Change oil in Hydro Gear Box's ((yearly)20w50 synthetic

My clutch 16mm bolt fell out(2nd year),one idler bearing went out

I put springs on rubbers under seat(no drilling ),lot better ride

I will never buy another Husqvarna again. At 270 hours I was told I had to replace both transmissions just after warranty expired. $950 each plus shipping plus labor. I bought another brand instead.

I just got one put new coil and battery in it but get no spark plug is new and I tested the ohms from cdi box connectors and everything checks out and I followed the manual guidelines and now I'm stumped I want to junk it it's so aggravating but I need help please the grounds are all good and clean so help me please

Probably the worst mower I ever owned. In the same cutting I have bucking bronco and Tokyo slide.. It’s hard to even get it out of the garage without it bouncing around. Took it back to a place to work on it and they said “ nothing wrong “ …. Well crap……

Labai svarbus daiktas 😵

So,in the three years since this video,how have the drive motors held up? Just curious.

Thanks, don't be so hard on yourself!

Thank you so much! I have a '04 laramie 1500 and I love it. This video helped me keep it on the road.

What do you gap the shark plugs at?

That was painful to hear. Sorry man. We have all pissed money away working on cars mowers excetra. Could you not had found a zero turn with a bad deck or motor. Most all of these type of mowers only use a couple different size drives. Most are all made by MTD. Not to rub it in but I bought this mower in a 2 blade 46 used that said needs belt and battery sold as is. it was at a local farm center. So I told him if I bought a battery and it starts and moves I will take it. I knew getting the deck going was going to be not near as expensive as a drive. It started right up and I look at the hour meter and it said 4.5 hours. Some dude bought it new and hit something it broke a spindle bent a blade and then it would never restart. It was new so he took it back and they sent it to a local repair shop to fix the motor. I guess the sudden dead stop sheard the key shaft on the flywheel and it was out of time. So the fix it but they kept it all winter before getting to it. They kept it outside. A new mower just left it in the rain and snow for about six months. The nex spring the dude was ready to get his mower back and when they pulled it around and it was weathered he said I am not taking that it was brand new. SO some how the gave him a new mower and this one was suppose to went back on warranty but never did. So 2 years later the farm center manager just wanted it gone and put it out front with a sign. $200 As is need blade belt and battery. So I grabbed it up lightning fast. I had to put a spindle on it and new blades but the belt was good but the tension spring was missing. So I got a almost new 2021 z246 for less than $350.

Is the transmission very slow or would you say pretty good in speed and power (i think it's zt 2200 right)?

dont be washing your equipment with water especially on the deck, it ruins the bearings

Bought an older 48" cut, used, some years ago. It started not going forward. Found the idler spindle frozen to the idler arm for the drive belt. Disassembled, cleaned and reamed out the idler arm hole to .001" over. Lubed, reassembled and no more problems.

Hey man! How did I get that battery off?? It won’t seem to come even after those two screws

Glad you found the problem.

You had a transmission drive belt slipping.

I have the same mower, when are you going to install arm rests?

he is a mechanic

I suggest anyone who lives on any kind of incline and has this mower to invest in studded tractor or off-road ATV style tires. "Turf saver" tires are already prone to slipping and the hydros on this particular mower are not very good at easing on the power. These 2 things combined with any type of incline and you will do far more damage to your lawn from constant slipping with turf savers than you ever will running tires with an aggressive tread. Keep in mind though that there is very little clearance between the body and the stock tire so if you want to go any wider you'll need some kind of spacer.

Were did you get the parts?

I've had very similar problems with my Zero turn Husqvarna. The right side often barely works. Seems OK for the first 10 minutes or so. Local dealer said sometimes air gets into the hydraulics! Thanks for this info re the spring. It has been missing badly so yesterday I took the fuel tank off and drained it and checked the line to the engine. Lo and behold it had clogged with dust etc that had gotten into the fuel tank.

Found a great lil’ 2006 Toyota Corolla following exhaustive search with 180k. One owner, garage kept, Texas vehicle (not a spec of rust). Anywho’s one day after titling and gittin’ inspect tags hit a deer (they are thick as thieves here in Md this year) a demoed entire front end along with left front fender. Envision mine lookin’ lot like ur’s when done. I pretty much stole it $ wise so annuder 1-1.5k fer parts my labor and alotta patience is of no concern.Very much appreciate runnin’ across ur vid and come away with renewed sense of optimism. Thx fer the vid! Was unable to find any info in ur post/ vid bout where u got those parts though. Helo a brother out and post here in a reply? Thx again and look forward to checkin’ out ur other vids!

Why would you leave the air flow for the engine completely clogged with grass? Some will never know….

Thank God I found your video after searching KZfaq for a couple hours… two springs fixed my mower as well… it’s pulling better than it ever has!!!

Hi, it’s sep 2023. Approx 4 years since you made this video. After 4 years, what do you think about this brand and this zero turn mower?? Does it with the test of time, so to speak?

Great video Rob. Getting the original plate off was still hard as the text mentioned it has hooks. The grommets are a bit of a pain to align all three and bolt in. Wiring was super simple. The LED light bar looks brighter in real life. Thanks to the help.

You didn't rebuild a damn thing you bought a whole new transmission bahahahahahahahaha

So you rebuilt the transmission but you can't find some screws to fix the pulley guard??? Ok buddy whatever you say 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don’t forget about the grease points.

Mine keeps running if the steering levers are all the way pushed out.

The blades that come on it are very thin. Put different blades on it when you do your maintenance.

I bought a Husq 254F special edition 4 wks ago. I live on a 5.5 acre horse property with no horses, pastures were 2ft tall, not cut all summer. Took me 28 hours to cut the whole place, had to make 2 passes for the pastures. Whole place looks like a lawn. Mine has the 23 hp Kawasaki. Very powerful. Love that machine.
