Glad I bought the one with the flip up front. It I can just remember what button to push and pin to pull in the right order.
Thanks ,wonderful job,this teach much to all of us.God Bless you friend
Hey nice job on the video, it really helped a lot with my first time changing the blades. Just a heads up though, I double checked the torque value in the owners manual when changing the blades for my Hustler and it shows 73 ft-lbs for the blade spindle bolts on the top and 118 ft-lbs for the blade spindle bolts on the bottom. So you might want to torque those guys a little extra this year. Haha
Thanks for stopping by the channel to watch the video. You must have a newer Hustler.. My owners manual showed the torque spec I used. Hustler must have updated the torque for the blade Ont he newer models. 🤷🏼♂ Thanks for the update. Take Care. 👍🏼
Forget the mower. Let’s play with Riley!! LOL!! I have a Hustler Raptor, but not the SD. I just changed out the blades on mine, and replaced them with the Gator blades. I found a couple of rotten holes in the deck that will soon grow to be a problem. I appreciate your video!!
Hey Roger, Thanks for stopping to check out the video. LOL Riley would love that.. He’ll usually get me to throw his tennis ball while I’m working on something. How’s the gator blades working out for you? Mines starting to rust were the paints flaking off. Take Care 🤙🏼
@@SometimeIsNow He’s a handsome dog. A friend of mine in the lawn care business suggested the Gator blades because I have two large magnolia trees that make a horrendous mess when shedding their leaves. He said they’re a superb mulching blade that should help. We’ll see. I have St. Augustine grass in my yard so I typically cut it a little high. The Gator blades seem to give a clean cut even when set so high.
Great presentation. I have the same machine and it cuts great.
Hey Joe, Thanks for stopping by the channel to check out the video. Yes, The Hustler Raptor really does do a great job mowing. 👍🏼 Take Care
Great job my friend . love the video!!!
Hey Tony, Thank you, and thanks for stopping by to check out the video. Take Care 👍🏼
You could use duck tape too hold those attachments up. Quick and easy 😌
Yes, I wish I would have. 😁 Those hanger brackets were a nuisance.. Next time I’ll look at something to hold them up out of the way to make it easier to slide the deck under. 👍🏼
Like your work 👍
Hey Leonard, Thank you and thanks for stopping by to watch the video. It’s appreciated 👍🏼 Take Care
Should have taken your john deere and lifted the front of the mower or you could hsve just taped them brackets up out of the way. Think it would of made the job easier and quicker. Only a sugestion. Thanks for the video. I own a flip up so blades and cleaning the bottom of the deck are a piece of cake.
Hey Rod, Thanks for stopping by the channel to check out the video. This was my first time removing the deck. Lessons learned on this first attempt. Definitely going to use some sort of strap to hold the support hangers out of the way when re-installing the deck. Thanks for the tips.👍🏼 Take Care
What a PITA job!
Yes it was. I just had a couple right axle bolts break off and I almost lost the hydro gear drive on the right side. Got it squared away and back together. Take Care
I used a ratchet strap around it to hold up all the obstacles in the way
Excellent tip !! Thanks for stopping by to check out the video. 👍🏼
Best dogs
I’d have to agree Tony. He’s an amazing friend and goes everywhere with me. 👍🏼
Good video, but the title was wrong for this video. When I see deck repair, there should have been welding involved and not just deck cleaning. I tell my customers all the time to stop cutting wet grass then you won't have all that buildup which causes rust. I believe that you also can lift the front end once the deck is off and just pivot to one side. Straps are also a good choice.
Open the mattress and get a new one😂,just kidding
😂🤣 I’m thinking it needs a Turbo !! 🤙🏼
@@SometimeIsNow hurricane may have a tune for it🤣
@@Iluvboostedsleds If they don’t, I bet he could come up with one. 😁
You got those wheels in the wrong holes. You are mowing too low for the wheel setting, thats why the wheel brackets are bending . Check owners man.
Несколько видео посмотрел со снятием деки и никто рычаги не подвяжет... Бегают вокруг поднимают их по нескольку раз....
Спасибо, что остановились, чтобы посмотреть видео. Да, вот почему я упомянул об использовании чего-то, чтобы убрать вешалки с дороги. Делает это намного проще. Береги себя 👍🏼
Don’t they have wash ports
Hey Tony, No wash ports on this welded deck. It’s been a great mower so far. When I purchased this I only paid $4300 and thats with the bagger attachment .
