Being an owner of a 12 year old raptor you have motivated me to do some touch up painting and minor repairs. This mower has never let me down. You got a nice machine their.

Haha I was just thinking the same thing. Mine is 13 years old with zero issues. Just replaced the original battery last year.

24:49 Those are sealed bearings... At the very least remove the inner seal if you want to grease them. Or remove the grease zerk if you don't intend to grease them... because you left the inner seal on. Quality bearings are worth the money. Cross reference to Timken or SKF... Do not buy from Hustler. If Timken or SKF want $15 a bearing you pay it.

I think it is better to use sealed bearings, like he did, but don't use any grease. Those sealed bearings will last a long time.
@Hugmiff1Ай бұрын
I don't know about SKF, but if you buy Timken, pop off the grease seals and PACK THOSE NEW BEARINGS!! They come from the factory with minimal grease. I was surprised and disappointed. I packed mine with Red & Sticky and snapped the seals back into place and they're doing very well.

I always blow off my mower after mowing and then wash it later after it has cooled down, Keeps it looking new
@jeffmoberg93852 ай бұрын
great vid but take the seal off the bearing on the inside so when you grease it it will penetrate the bearing
@Pa55ion2 ай бұрын
hi there is 1 fundamental flaw ! both are sealed bearings...take the inside seal part off the bearing , so it gets greased. if not its going to do the same thing

I am always amazed at how the engines on these old mowers are still in great shape while the rest of the mower is shot. I wish there was a way to reuse those old vertical shaft engines on something else.

There is a very good chance the reason for the failed wheel bearings is greasing them. The bearings you installed are sealed and there is already grease inside. When you add grease to the wheel, you can cause hydraulic pressure on the inner seal and will cause it to rub the cage. I bet this is why they have such a high failure rate. Skip the grease on this one
@evanschmidt56242 ай бұрын
I would have removed the inner seal on the bearings so grease could get into the bearings.

You might consider adding some zinc to that 20-50. Motor oils do not contain the needed levels that these hydro pumps and wheel motors need. Especially with the store brand oils. Some major brands contain more ZDDP zinc but you have to shop for the ones like Royal Purple HPS.
@Ace.Fisher3 ай бұрын
Thank you for the information. The tag on the mower said to use 20w50 oil and I didn’t really think anything of it just bought what it said to use, next time I’ll use proper stuff.

Those optional flex forks on the Hustler will save your spine. The atrocious ride of the Scag will break its back and yours. No comparison on ride quality regardless of seat type.

Why the hell would you put grease in those front wheels. They are sealed bearings so no grease can get in to lubricate them.

Mostly marketplace, it actually takes a lot of time searching and most deals slip away.

That mower isn't cheap. I bought one 5 years ago and lost 1 belt due to high grass and me having the deck too low. This mower is better than most riding mowers.

You wasted your time with the bearing:you should have taken the seal on the inside when you installed the bearing,how is the grease going to get on the ball bearing with the grease fitting.Think for a while 😊😮😮😮😮😮😮
@Ace.Fisher3 ай бұрын
Good point, I saw that the bearings are sealed but thought it’s a good thing because dust and dirt will stay out of it but makes sense that the grease won’t be able to get to it.

Yes good point! but being sealed is a good thing too, the dirt and dust will stay out.
@ShainAndrews3 ай бұрын
@@Ace.Fisher Partially correct. You are supposed to leave the outer seal in place to mitigate debris intrusion. But the inner seal should have been removed. You just packed the axle tube with grease for no reason as it can not access the bearings. See what we are saying? No harm, just wasted some grease.
