I bought a broken hustler zeroturn mower to repair!

Part 2 https://youtu.be/vCYhlLdK6T0?si=XRQ6JNXrV_0N7Ese

Just discovered this channel and couldn't get over how amazing the $600 boat turned out so I started watching what else there was. I'm going to say that was about 3 hours ago but I'm not mad about it.......... I only wish I had this guys talent. Great videos brother thanks for sharing

Good choice on the oil. I live in Texas where we usually get 3 days of winter and Rotella 15-40 is what I use year round in my Hustler. I just found your channel and I'm enjoying your projects. Thanks for posting

Thank you, Sir! I enjoyed your video, and especially liked what you said about diesel oil in air cooled engines. I didn't feel good putting 5W30 or 10W 30 in my push mower. It looks like you were blessed with a great opportunity in the Hustler, and are doing a great job bringing it up to speed.

👍👍👍👍👍🤜🤛 I used to use diesel oil in my car, even though it wasn’t a diesel engine. I ran it only in the summertime and in the fall I used to change it back to regular oil because the diesel oil would protect the engine better.

You been very lucky so far on the deals your getting! A+

Nice video, Looking forward to seeing this channel grow!

Even more goodies! It has the flex forks on it as well. About a $300 upgrade for a less bumpy ride. Nice job

use a wrench called a Crows foot that should work to tighten that hose

I have always used 15w40 diesel oil in all of my small engines, bc they run very hard. I never had any issues using it at all.

I would take the plastic off the engine and make sure the fins are clean and clear. As nasty as that was its got to be dirty there too.

I came across your videos very randomly via the YouTube algorithm, I’m assuming. I love watching anything that gets fixed or put back together. Just a BIT of constructive criticism, I too wanted to know what happened with the Scag on the previous video. If you are going to post another project, just let your viewers know you’re still planning on continuing the previous build at the beginning of the next project. That way we know. Other than that, you have yourself a new subscriber. Looking forward to more videos.

What did you find with the Scag Wildcat bad smoking problem? Great find and fix.

Good find I had same start problem on donated mower starter cable read good voltage and Olms but had a break that someone had taped over would not even click solenoid replaced cable good to go.

Imagine selling a nice lawn mower over a starter and plug gasket.. that's crazy to me.

Great success!

Gas filter change out. Good you are going to get the hydro fluid changed.

14:35 I don't know how a person could do that. Short of the washer falling off and getting folded over the last time the plug was removed. At that point I'd toss the washer and run it if I had to. 16:09 That is an NPT fitting. Kohler does not use NTP drain plugs. I don't think anybody does anymore. You want an o-ring boss/flange face fitting. You are flirting with danger running NTP on a parallel thread. NTP seals by thread deformation. To get the deformation requires a lot of torque. If the fittings are not designed for it... something cracks... or something vibrates loose... and you are deforming threads that should be left alone. 19:14 I've run diesel oil in all engines my entire life. I only stock 5w-40. I'd run it in that hydraulic system without a concern.

I just thought you might just remove the negative Lead from the battery. That’s all that is needed.

Wow! That seller sure has a lot of money to be able to afford to sell that one cheap and just replace it! How much did you pay? Such obvious and easy fixes! You must lead a charmed life! 🔧😉👍
