It's time to change the Hydro oil on my Fastrak and this is how I did it. I hope this video gives you the confidence to do the service your own Hustler with confidence
Hey thanks for the amazing tutorial. Might sound lame but I drank a cold beer and sharpened my spare set of blades today. Have a good one!
I write the hours/mileage and the date on the filters when it’s changed. Video was helpful. Made it look much easier than a lot of people show getting those fill plugs out.
Hey Michael- Changing Hydro oil tomorrow. Today on the boat, Buddy! Thanks for the mower help and suggestion to GO HAVE FUN! Adios, Amigo Mark in Michigan (81 degress on 10/01/23) Chganging
Right on!
I'm getting ready to service my Fastrac this weekend, thanks for the help. I was nervous about it.
Glad I could help
Good Stuff Michael!! I am purchasing a Hustler X-One this week and I wanted to get a head start on maintenance. You made it look easy. Appreciate you taking the time to explain hows and the whys.
You are more than welcome, glad it helped.
Thanks Michael, you made a great video on changing the hydro oil and filter. Thank you
Very welcome
Thanks! About to change my fluid this week and you made it look easy!
Glad it helped!
bought my fastrax SD in 2008. commercial use for 7 years. use synthetic oil in engine and drive motors. still using it for myself and my grandson is using it to mow neighbors yards to save up for his first truck. it still has the original battery by the way. take care of your tools and they will take care of you.
They absolutely will, thanks for watching.
We have one from the same era fastrak 52 Honda 20 indestructible mower I try to tell people and they always seem to ignore my advice, it's definitely their loss
Great video man thanks a bunch. Now I feel comfortable doing mine this weekend.
Glad I could help
Hey Michael, thanks for the lesson. Easy to follow, I just need a filter wrench.
Glad to help
@@RMDCreations I did the oil change last Wednesday. With my new filter wrench! The mechanic in the mower shop said nip the new oil filters another half turn "to be sure".
Great info! Thanks. Getting ready to change mine in my fast trax. Also going full synthetic.
Glad it helped
I've got same mower, planning on doing this service tomorrow. Thanks good video!
Glad I could help
Bought me a new fast track mower today. Love it!! Thanks Great video
Good choice!, I really like ours.
Thanks for the video, going to do the 75 hour break-in change soon. Very informative... thanks
Glad it helped
Cool, 75 hours break in change. That’s what I was going to ask!
Good show! I just change the engine and hydro oil and filters on my Ferris last weekend.
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching
Good job. I feel confident about doing this myself now.
Excellent, thanks for watching
Just got a ariens mower with the same rear drive. And had to replace the drive belt. Wasn’t to bad of a task. Going to replace the oil in it soon. I was wondering if it had those plugs. And you answered my question thank you. Another great video thanks for posting.
Right on, thanks for watching
always good to put a wrench on the mounting bolts while you are down there. they will work loose.
Good video and very concise explanation. Thank you for that my man.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching
Excellent job of sharing, with Great Video and Explaining the process!!
Glad you liked it!
Great video I may try this myself,it's due.Plus mine is pulling to the left.I own fastrak sd 2014,54 cut, bought brand new and I would not trade any other brand for it, thanks for video,made it look easy.
Go for it!
Great video to the point. I've had mine for 4 years 550 hours no problems. Mow several yards. Looked up how to change hydraulic oil your video popped up glad it did, looks simple enough thank you.
The adjustment for each wheel in case your mower is pulling to the left is pretty easy, search a u-tube video to see how to do it, I think maxs garage u-tuber has a video for this.
Thank you Michael. Great step by step instruction. One of my reservoir caps went bad and I think my fluid level is low. Hard for me to see. Can I just top off to cold fill level?
you should be able to. Thanks for watching
hustlers,damn good machines.love my 60 inche.
Right on
Awesome,thank you Mike👍
You are welcome!
Thank you. Helped on my fasttrak sdx.

Well done video
Thank you.
Tks sure made it easy to understand and mow i think i can do it.
Glad you liked it.
Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Y Michael your video was great help appreciate it
Great video. Thank you. I have a 2015 Fastrak per the first two digits of the serial number. The plug on the transmission on mine requires an allen wrench to remove it and not a regular wrench. Just wanted people to know not everything is exactly like the video. Yours may have a variation.
Thanks for sharing
Great video. Very helpful. Can you show how you jacked the mower up?
I just ran it up on car ramps
Cheater! Lol
You said you backed it up on ramps how did you get wheels to spin when bleeding the lines? I thought the tires where on the ramps.
Great video what size is that oil wrench? Will it also fit the oil filter? also, did you put the plug back in before you bled the lines?
Good video! Last week I bought a new 2021 Fastrak 48” with the Kawasaki FT691V. I believe it’s 22 horsepower. It has the Hydro Gear ZT-3200 rear ends. I love my machine! Where did you get that oil filter wrench?
Very nice!
Hi Michael, thanks for the video. Are the reservoirs at the same height as the oil level/top plug in the drives? So when it starts running out the top hole on the drive the level in the reservoir should be on the mark?
I don't believe that is correct. What did I do in the video. I may have to rewatch my video again.
Thanks 👍
You are welcome and thanks for watching.
Great video Michael, I liked the oil filter wrench, not seen this version before. Do you prefer this over a strap wrench?
They both have their place. I use this style 99% of the time.
@@RMDCreations link to the filter wrench you used please sir! Thx!
Excellent Video. Should've said what size wrench for fill plugs. And did this take two days to do, I see you had two different shirts on in video? But Thanks for the Video My mower is just like it only a 60" cut.
Some days I run out of time and some times you just have to have a costume change, LOL
Thanks for posting. Did you put the drain plugs back in the top of each pump prior to bleeding the system? Thanks!
yes I did
@@RMDCreations Great, thank you for your reply!
I need that filter wrench
Can i get a part id or number on oil filter wrench thanks nice video! And whem you purge the air out do you leave the caps screwed on the resivours or have them cracked? thanks ahead
amzn.to/2YGpBGl here is a link to the wrench
@@RMDCreations how about the purge question resivours cracked or caps tight
Hello Michael, I changed my filters and oil today and the business I bought the parts from gave me 20W 50 four cycle motor oil, not hydraulic oil…I’m guessing that is not the right oil, as the mower won’t budge….Please give me your thoughts on this.
if you look at the manual for the newer Hustlers, they state to use 20w 50 in the hydrostatic transmissions
THANKS AND I AM GUESSING THAT ITS THE SAME FOR THE KOHLER FAST TRACK
3100s how do you like those hydros so far..I have had great service from the 2800s?
Work perfectly so far 3 seasons
I have one that is lower. Cap says don't top off see manual? Can't find any seal leaks anywhere. Can I just add to the reservoir?
Watch the level, don't overfill, when the oil gets hot it expands a great deal, Thanks for watching
Hello everyone. I'm changing the hydraulic fluid. Just pour some in. But the fluid is not going down. How long does it take for the fluid to go all the way down. I figured it out. I'm the moron that didn't removed the 2 bolts underneath lmao😅
LOL, it happens, thanks for watching
Is it actually necessary to change the gear oil on a hustler zero turn if so just how often. Because the gear oil coming out of this mower doesn’t even look dirty Motor oil I understand
you don't want it to look dirty, that can cause premature wear, follow the manual for the hours and change off all oils.
75 hrs initial change then every 100 hrs. per manual
