  • Great video shows exactly what I needed on my Hustler Fastrak mower. One question for you I have. When removing the oil pump housing to replace the o ring, does this drain the transaxle of all hydro fluid? Should I be prepared for a flood of oil to come rushing out once the housing is removed? Again, Thanks for taking the time to make our lives a little easier with your expertise & skills. mardyn

  • Boy that was an excellently produced video explaining the process clearly and concisely...I don't have a Hustler but a JayZeePro that I just inherited and it likewise leaks like a sieve. Was dreading the rebuilding or worse the replacement of the Hydros but I'm feeling pretty confident now to replace that O ring first...and as for those bees, I likewise have one of those flowhives and that too is the smart way to manage 'em...keeps 'em happy and us too. Cheers.

  • Just ran across this video while searching for an answer to the leak on my Gravely with the ZT3100 Hydro-Gear transaxles. Didn't see it mentioned in the video, but I assume you have to drain the oil from the transaxles before pulling the plate and replacing the O-ring? I just replaced the oil and filters and found the leak afterwards...not wanting to drain the oil again if possible.
