Max you give so much info at one time I cannot make these adjustments with out returning and returning. Can you modify the plastic cover like found on 48 sd ,
@@53mjackson Yes Sir, I made a video on porting the Plastic Belt Covers. Here you go: kzhead.info/sun/l96OZNyQqX2CaGw/bejne.html
Nice video. Very well done.
Thank you kindly. Still trying to find some parts to make it even a much nicer ole girl. She works great now, just needs a bit of tweaking to make her even greater.

The SD is a dream too work on!!
Hey Tom! Always good to hear from you buddy. Interested in doing a short leg as driver on the MGM Lap Around America sometime in the future?
You need to show work performed we all would like to see how its done thanks
Robert, are you speaking to this particular Hustler? I don't own that mower, I was just doing a favor for the widow getting it up to snuff. I think I do have a stick adjustment video up showing the steps. I'll have to see if not, I will have to do one this winter with a fender & wheel are off so that the camera can get a direct view of the process. I really need a camera person. Wanna volunteer then you'll also get to see it in person? lol Thanks for watch and the suggestion. I'm all ears for what y'll want or need to learn. Max
@@MaxsGarajMahal I'd love to donate some time I'm in Arkansas where ste you

Do video showing adjustments to control arms I need them to be further out .I am going to try again .I need the sticks out if my chest .
Mark, I can do that for you. How tall are you? I'm 5'10" and robust as is plain in the videos. I have mine adjusted so that they are just about touching in full reverse. I also have the suspension seat and slider which puts the rider up about and inch and a half higher. On top of that, I also have the World's First Body Lift Kit on a Hustler Raptor SD. lol Which tilts the seat forward causing the sticks to need to be farther forward. I also placed them so that they touch. This allows one hand steering when or if necessary.
Control arm damper video?
You'd like to see a damper video for a Fastrak? I'll see what I can do.
I have a FastTrack I need help .? Haw to stop the clutch spinning
First thing to do is open up the dash. Then put a multi meter across the posts on the switch with it in off. Make sure there is zero continuity across the hot in (battery) terminal from ignition switch and the hot out (clutch) terminal. With clutch switch in the up (on) position, test again, there should be continuity showing the switch is in working order. If the switch does not open the connectors inside, the switch is defective and will need replacing. For testing purposes only, dash still loose, sit on mower so that feet are not a concern for getting under the deck, then start the engine. Please do this outdoors or at least with doors open and a good cross air flow. With engine started I must assume from your plea that the clutch will be engaged. Now, disconnect the harness below the clutch switch. If the clutch disengages, you know the switch is the culprit. Get back to us. Good luck.
Hey Max, when I was mowing yesterday I noticed the steering arms come together too much and it's really annoying. Is there a way to adjust this or am I doing something wrong? I have a fastrak.
Are we speaking to a Flip Up?
@@MaxsGarajMahal No it's not a flip up.
@@leondraw1766 I need more information as to model and year. Take a couple of photos of where the handles attach to the steering sticks coming up from the frame. Send them to my gmail.
Wow, it might be small but that baby Fastrak looks like it has a lot more steel in it than our SDs.
it is heavy for a tiny thing for sure.
that is when hustler fastrak was made easy to get in and they road nice too , its a shame all hustlers dont have twin 5 gallon tanks on them like the old fastraks did except mine had a 20 hp honda on it never really like the kohler courage , kohler magnums where nice but the courrage just did not compete
@@dwaynemaslowski9398 This FasWrek really hurts my back when I use it. I would prefer to take an arse whooping. haha
@@MaxsGarajMahal i have a back for over 65 yrs now my 2007 fastrak never gave me more back pain , maybe now b/c they change the frame and design its more painful to drive haha, those designs where good like up in the vid now you hurt your back just by twisting your body to change the deck height
Nice job fixing her up Max those Kohler Courage are scary.
I'm not so sure that Kohler will make it thru the summer. Sorta doesn't sound so good when first firing and shutting down. Reminds me of a nod a rockin'.
@@MaxsGarajMahal put some shell rotella in her and hope for the best haha!!
@@577buttfan Amen Tom. Looks like Rotella T 15-40 in her future. His garage is full of Napa 5w-30. Gonna use that to lubricate low friction items.
@@MaxsGarajMahal haha cool,yeah I been using the rotella T6 since I dropped my break in oil in the SD. 500 hours and still tickin...would love to see 500 more!!
@@577buttfan I bet you get it considering how well you maintain that beauty.
What size is the mower
60" Cut.
I just remove belt covers. Not possible to be turning if off machine and gives more foot space for stepping on and off.
Removing the covers may give more foot room, however one thing it doesn't do is create a laminar air flow around the pulley inside the belt cover as well as a turbulence below the pulley to create an air void below the pulley to keep the top of the deck clean around the spindle and especially the bearing. Whatever you like is what you should do although I created the video to show you what is the best and most efficient means of prolong both bearing and belt life. Another thing that you haven't probably experienced as of yet is a stick or other debris entering the belt - pulley path. That can almost flip a mower and usually will cause the belt be rolled off the pulley. The most important part of the correctly ported belt cover is the belt will never burn due to debris build up below and around the pulley. Again, if cover off is your cup-o-tea, then by all means enjoy your mower in any configuration you are most comfortable with. Thanks for watching, commenting and I hope you subscribed, liked and shared the video to someone it may give thought to.
I swap my raptor sd for a fastrak like that or my 2007 anytime they where tiny but where fast i had a 52 inch deck now have a 54 inch deck on my raptor sd and i could cut 1 .750 acres with the 2007 fastrack in 55 mins with the raptor sd it takes me 100 mins mainly b/c of the stop to refuel the tank also the little fastrak was top speed of 8.5 mph my raptor sd can only get 7,5 mph max
My Raptor does 8.2 and its going faster soon. lol. I can already outrun this Fastrak before the tire swap and body lift. lol
@@MaxsGarajMahal you also mention about the deck adjustment , they where a lot easier to adjust, now on the raptor sd it seems 2 hands and a foot is not enough to adjust deck height
@@dwaynemaslowski9398 You are absolutely correct about adjusting the RSD deck height. Can be a double pain. That is about the only thing I super dislike about the RSD though.
All that talk and no show👎
Just for you. Thanks for watching.
