Husqvarna Z248F Zero Turn ZT 2100 Transmission Issues

[@andybecker2693]

A lot of folks have doubled up the tension spring for hydro drives. One guy put 2 brand new hydrostats in his 254F just to find out that it didn’t have enough belt tension and it was still slipping. A couple of $3 springs got him going again but only after spending $1500.

Good looking 👀 out… Just got my 248F … I don’t have a lift, but Looks like something to Do annually…👍

I don't know about the 2100,but Hydro-gear is adding drain plugs to the 2200 hydros.

Was just looking for help. I bought a mower which I swapped engine on give. It was bad. Steering is completely bad. It’s hard to keep it straight and have some sort of slack

I have a Husqvarna Z254F Special Edition that is 1 week old with an issue (box store not interested in making the sell good by not offering real help), but when unit is cold (not cold weather) upon starting there is no moving forward or reverse (while moving the steering/park brake arms)- the Hydro-Gear makes a whiny-grinding noise and after a minute or two of moving the steering/park brake arms the unit begins to work properly. Any ideas ?

Is oil the reason I can't go uphill? Thanks in advance.

[@Skuhnked]

Did you ever figure out what the reason was for you?

[@Ricky-eo5ym]

How big of a lot are you Mowing and how many hours are on the machine is it still slipping after replacing the oil? Thanks in advance.

[@donaldshelton]

Is this similar to the Husqvarna z246i? How do I get a service manual for these?

[@donaldshelton]

Ok, answered my own question. The z248f and the z246i have the same hydraulic units.

[@daniellang6112]

Doesn't show squat as to where drain/fill access holes are? Did I miss something?

On the 2100 vers the 2200, What the difference other than the fan placement?

[@StumpyVanLife]

since nobody has answered I will take a stab. and I could be wrong, but it seems to me that as the model number gets bigger on these hydrostatic units so does the strength. The bigger mowers have the 3300 units , those have spin on filters and are meant to be serviced. My 2015 Hustler with a Kohler 24hp engine and 52 inch deck has the 2200 (I am not 100% sure) so I believe as HP and Deck size goes up so does the model # of the transmission.

Really they need to be drained and filled every year under normal conditions 😢😢😢 People are going to learn the hard way 😢

[@Erilolen]

Hi, how can we contact you for business inquiry?

[@meyo7443]

If anyone does this, make sure you purge the air from the case (page 15 or 16 in the service manual)…

👍👍

Time to drill and tap those gearboxs,study diagrams measure twice drill once

[@philliphall5198]

Remember this, if it has any type of oil it needs to be changed often, it’s just that simple…. All bearings all so needs to be greased, or they will fail 😢😢😢

[@DerpaDerpaDooo]

Yep, designed to fail and dealers straight up lying to buyers.
