Today we are working on a grasshopper 721 with the Kabota gasoline engine the complaint is that it only turns to the right and the main issue is a stuck idler pulley #GrasshopperMowers #LawnMowerRepair #Grasshopper #LawnTractor #Lawnmower #721 #IdlerPulley #SmallEngineRepair #DonnyBoy73

OOOOO, right off the bat you became a sexist. I’m sure you may hear about this if you have any female followers.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

I’m pinning this comment. Good luck buddy !

[@cmoremac]

He did say this woman was very experienced or knowledgeable!!! Didn’t he????!!!

[@insaneasylum7898]

He gave the lady all the credit in the world!

[@stevegraves2968]

He pointed out the the female operator know that something was wrong. Also a good operated. Not sexist at all. He gives credit to her. Better to stop miner problem, then major failure.

Clearly Robert Langley you are a woke leftist that is just trying to stir up trouble. Thanks for ruining America

[@AlfonsoRamirez-fg5tm]

Delivered a nice even cut, has the super tight turning ability kzbin.infoUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend I was looking for, and is just a blast to drive. It takes a little bit to get used to driving one after driving a normal tractor style, but once you've got it, you've got it. If you're cutting lines, you have to be careful spinning the mower around or the back tire will dig a bare spot. Just take it nice and slow during the turn and then it's back to full throttle across the yard!

[@hughbo52]

Nicely done!.I have an older 727 and just looking inside makes my tools tremble. There is so little information on Grasshoppers. You have a new subscriber . Thanks for posting .

[@blackshirej]

Yeah, I'm in that club now...had weak wheel after engine gets good and hot. Googled all that I could and determined it was a wheel motor. Replaced wheel motor for $700. WRONG. Looking like transaxle is bad since I cranked the belt tension on that pump as high as I could go and still no dice. New transaxle? $600.....UGH. Annnnnd not having any luck finding a how to on actually doing the replacement. Double UGH.

[@ronyerke9250]

That looks like a fairly straightforward fix. Ever try automotive anti-sieze compound on that? The stuff is great for bicycle freewheels too, but it's made for O2 sensor threads. I don't think it matters much if you use the silver or copper colored stuff, but read the labels if you want to.

[@dennisoneal8505]

I agree, it's more of a dry type of lube, if used lightly and also prevents rust almost like a graphite lube.

[@kennethsmith7002]

Great work. Do you have any info on replacing the 729T6 • Optional Hydraulic Lift Assembly belt? Can't find info anywhere

[@454pakr]

Easy, inexpensive fix! Thanks! I guess mowing wet grass gets things rusty a little faster.

[@bobhaddock957]

dealership just told me how to tension deck belt. tighten spring until you can stand a Nickel on end to fit between a coil.

[@lumpyzx2645]

Most of the grasshopper deck belt tensioning springs are supposed to be 5.75" from end to end not counting the hooks, just the coiled part, I think a few are supposed to be like 4.75 or something

[@butler386]

You made the fix look easy. For me that would be an all day thing. What type of pad is on the air tool? How is the pad affixed to the shaft or base?

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

D Butler roloc and a 3m scotchbrite pad

[@timpope1221]

Thanks for the video, I have a Woods 6160 with Gemini drive motors can you tell me what oil do i need to service the hydro's ?

[@MegaChuck51]

I know this is a old video but I have a question? Does all your drive motor pulleys have to be rust free on the belt surface?

[@bobbyscott8024]

Good job!

[@israelgriffin585]

Thank you for the information, Be Blessed and a Blessing Amen. Keep up the good works!

[@danielsmith337]

Would this be why a 61 inch ferris stand up mower would be slower than should be? Is there a way to increase speed?

[@jdubya54]

excellent video. thanks. I’d probably of done the other one too.

[@randyhandcock3093]

I have a 618 grasshopper and lt will not move itself ! Is there a release for the transmission s for it to roll with out the mower running ?

[@bobhaddock957]

how do you keep the Gemini hydros going ? they dont make em anymore or parts ?

[@victoryfirst2878]

There is a much easier way to clean the bearing surface. Instead of using a scotch brite wheel, us your battery powered drill motor. Just chuck up on the threads and use crocus cloth. Turn on the drill and place the cloth onto the shaft bearing, move back and forth. Continue until shiny and clean. Then clean out the bushings. All that is left is regrease and mount. Work done with pride and gusto. Nice job fella too. VF

Great tips! Just got a Grasshopper 620T and the steering seems very sensitive and twitchy. Can this be adjusted?

[@repnatl]

That sounds like the steering dampers aka shocks are bad.

[@tonymontana897]

I have a Husqvarna YTH2548-XP with the HG-0160 Hydro unit and my reverse is ridiculously slower than my other mower which is a John Deere Sabre 17.542HS. I have tried reaching down and pulling back on the accelerator pedal to see if there is any slop in the mechanical actuation and there is none. Considering this, it still backs up really slowly. Forward is very good, but reversing takes some patience. You think there is something going on within the transmission ? What is the forward/reverse speed supposed to be for this tractor ? Any idea ?

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Adjust the rod, you’ll Loose some forward speed to gain reverse tho

[@dizzystill2276]

I wish you would come across an old Cub cadet and do a good video on some of their pros and cons.

[@repnatl]

Cons are they make the worst transaxles and almost always fail requiring a rebuild. They are crap mowers.

[@dizzystill2276]

When I say old, I mean 1960's, 70's, and early 80's. Before MTD bought them out. The last 30 years of cubs have been nothing but chincey sheet metal jobs that are designed as cheap as possible. The _old_ stuff was built to last.

[@tonymontana897]

There should be some kind of grease in that bushing no ? No lube will guarantee it sticking again.

Idler arms are part of an automobile steering system. These are IDLERS, not idler arms. And sniffing into the microphone is freaking disgusting.

[@abbersj2935]

This guys an is wrong, NEVER use and angle grinder or some such sander to remove rust etc from a round or for that matter flat wear surface. It just gouges the surface, future wear will be vastly accelerated. Use a strip of fine emery cloth or abrasive on your finger pulled back and forth (or wrapped around a round stick for internal features). This will clean the surface and still leave it round with no flats.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Lol

[@rngbluerhino13]

...then use Emory cloth, AbbersJ. This video was very helpful to me, regardless of the method he used to clean off the bolt. For all intensive purposes, replace the bolt with a new one. Why do you need to critique his video...if you had to watch it in the first place?

[@abbersj2935]

@@rngbluerhino13 I don't see you're point. First, he did not use emery cloth, which I would have used also, second, how does a person know a video is crap until they watch it? He is supposed to be informing the less experienced, he's not. He should learn the right methods before telling others. Simple as that.
