I enjoy watching someone else work. I've mechanic for 35 years.
Thanks for watching!
Very good 👍
You did a great job and good explanation!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback!
Just did this repair over Memorial weekend! My only suggestion is to put the new bearings in freezer prior to installation, the cold shrinks them to the point you can use your thumb to press them in sometimes! Also you need a Spring puller to pull those springs out and install them back! I cleaned deck and applied cosmoline to underside and it drys fast and helps grass slip right off!
Those are great suggestions! Thanks for watching!
The wire to the starter is not hot until the solenoid is engaged. The starter is the new part that replaces the bad starter. There on the third model for replacement.
That is correct. This type of starter uses an external solenoid that is hot on ignition start. Thanks for watching
If I have to arc the solenoid does that suggest I need a new ignition switch? My 54” is in bad shape 😭
thank you I have same hustler
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!
I ran across your post, i have the same mower and am in need of the same service. Thanks for the post. It helps me determine what parts i need and dont need. It seems my deck is a bit noisy when engaging the blades. The spring, i think, must be the issue. The starter drags a bit, but I'm not sure if I'll change that out yet. Oh, my middle blade is completely bent 90 degrees down. i don't know how it's working like that.
Thank you and good luck! Some people paint the underside of the deck when it’s apart to make it last longer too
Thank you. You saved me $450. My mower was a lil different but the basics were the same. Thank you so much and god bless.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!!
Nice job. I like your work.

Great help!
Fantastic thank you!
Nice work on the Hustler!
Thank you so much for watching!
@@RayofallTrades you’re welcome. I just bought a new Hustler Fastrak SDX 60 on 01-10-2023. I been watching Hustler mower videos. I might drill and tap for a grease fitting on the spindles when it comes time to rebuild them.
@@travisricks3436 if the bearings are sealed like mine, it won't help. Worth a look though. Thanks!
@@RayofallTrades yes the bearings are sealed, but you have to pop the seal off. Very easy to do.
I am putting new pulleys on mine. Do you know if a Torque setting is needed to put the pulleys back on?
Love
Thanks for watching!
I replaced one set of spindles on my raptor, SD one time that old set of spindles I took to a machine shop and had them deepn the pocket so I could run a double row bearing top and bottom which makes the mower so much quieter and the bearings last a lot longer. The bearings that I put in it are 5205-2 Z double row angular shielded bearings. If you guys choose to do it, make sure you order the bearings before you take them to the machine shop so they know exactly how much to cut. you don’t need to replace your idler pulleys either if you get bearing 6203z you can heat up the flange on the idler bearing use a pair of vise grips and bend the edge back and then pull out and replace your bearings
Great tip! And thank you for sharing! I appreciate you.
I've got the same mower and just replaced all 3 spindles, tensioner idler pulley, both springs, and both belts. It's a totally different mower. I got the spindles off Amazon for $60 and they're made very well. Thanks for the video.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing and watching!
The spendles are only $30 on Amazon. Easy to replace too
Yes. Aftermarket ones. Just trying to share another way. Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing👍 at what speed are these blades running at?
Sorry but I've never put a tachometer on the blades. Thanks for watching!
How did you take pully off so easy? Doesn’t the blade turn when you try to take the pully off?
I used an impact wrench. But you can block the blade with a piece of wood while loosening and tightening
What’s the part number on the first pulley you replaced?
I don't remember but I put the links to all parts in the description if that helps
Why new pulleys?
The others were bent and throwing belts
This is why Kohler motors are not what they used to be. Poor engineering
Definitely not like they used to be!
