Great machines that will run a long time and cuts great!

Thank you for showing me how it really works! Definitely going to look into getting one of these

Bumbling, yes but, it's a learning experience ❤

Thanks man. You did good.

This video is not how to rebuild its how to put back together sortof

How do you take the parking break tab out of that

Hello Just came across the video. Where did you get the replacement parts/ rebuild kits ? Thank you

3:24 my input shaft does not go all the way down. Had to pull it to remove an old pulley that was froze on. Came out really easy but seems to be hitting something at the bottom. The shaft is keyed but does not seem to go in any position. Stops about 3/8in from going all the way in. If anyone has an idea about what it may be hitting I would love to know. I really don't want to pull the entire thing just to re-install this one part.

Where did you your get rebuild kits from?

Hey buddy I have a question for you and I'd be happy to pay for your help

Great video ....you need a camera tripod my friend

I'm dizzy, upside down, unsure, and wondering why you even put this video to try to help people. Cracking the case and rebuilding a leaking hydro system is an intimidating task. You did little to instill confidence in people, left out many of the details, dropped the hydro, installed parts incorrectly,and filmed it one handed. The upside is, if this less than enthusiastic and unsure dude can do it, the average meticulous person can for sure.

This video sucked,!

Nice Job.

How does the drive gear and axle bearing get its lubrication

Maybe I'm an idiot. I didn't find this as helpful as some others did. If you are looking to figure out how to carefully disassemble your hydrostat, you're in the wrong place.

You should have shown a better look at how it’s set up

Greetings! Any idea if the older izt-2800’s are the same as the zt-2800’s?

Holy shit. The swashplate was upside-down. You cannot scratch those dude.

Thanks for the video. It gave me the part number(72134) that I needed to make my new ZT-3100 custom fit on my 60" Swisher Zero Turn mower. The pulley was too low and need to be on top of the fan and not the way the transaxle had it on the bottom of the fan. Appreciate it. Great video!

As a professional mechanic for close to 50 years, I love watching these videos where some guy is supposedly showing you how to rebuild something and he's calling the components a "thingy" or "this part". Damn Dude.... Go out on Hydro-Gear.com and get the parts manual. At least you can use the correct nomenclature to distract people from your bumbling. The "thingy" you tried to put on upside-down was the pump assembly. It's the #1 component to check when you have one side weaker than the other. The service manual says specifically to punch mark the orientation of the plate. At least you figured out why...... BTW the Flat Rate time on a ZT2800 rebuild is 1.5 hours

Great video,,,how many hrs on mower before leaking begin

At the very beginning .. the shaft with the 4 O rings ... my shaft is leaking also.. did you have to pull the 4 bolts to remove that shaft?

how did you get those bushings out from the bottom of the charge pump to remove the oil pump?

Looks like you have the brake shaft installed up side down

what type of silicon sealant did you use to put it back together. (excellent video, btw. Thank you.)

Nice job on the video, and using Toby Mac, great choices of music.

i have a zt 3100 that doesn't seam to be engaging would re building it like you are solve that problem
