Hey does cdi cause machine to loose power and shut down? I have same exact machine?
Just buy the OE spring. You dont need 2
Hi i know this is an old post and hoping you reply before i undertake this task, 07 rolla i need to replace the raditor support. My question is how many screws did you use jnstead if spot welds and where? And are they screws or bolts?
Yep it's been awhile if I remember correctly it was like 25-30 spots and they were spot welded, so all of them needed drilled out and replaced with bolts of I think 3/8". At least on the holes I drilled out. My drill bit was a tad bit smaller than 3/8". I hope this helps and good luck, it wasn't fun but it did save me a lot of money
My belt came off one pulley, but I put it back on on my husk Varna zero turn on the drive pulley Z254F but I’m having a problem. It will not go forward our backwards. What’s the problem?
Was it the blade belt (big belt) or the drive belt (small belt)? I know if it's not moving then it should be issues with the drive belt (small) make sure it's on all pulleys (if I remember correctly it's 4 totally pulleys ( 1 in the back from the engine (clutch pulley), one on each transmissions and a tensioner pulley) if it's all on all of them correctly then check the tensioner spring (between the seat and engine). Hope some of this info helps.
@@investinurself3445 we fixed it. Was the transaxle belt
Great video! It helped me to install the light on my Husqvarna Zero Turn.
That's awesome, I'm glad it help and I appreciate the support and comment. Have an awesome day.
1 year since I bought mine, just put on new blades yesterday. Awesome, the ones I took off were in horrible shape, we have sandy soil here in the Colorado Springs area and it eats away the blades when mowing. I reallly like my Z254F special edition. I baby it and keep it in the garage. I live on 5.5 acres of grass, property set up for horses but I dont have any animals at all.
That's awesome, it took about 2 years before I got my horses, which helps a little bit on the grass. I am glad you are loving it, I still love mine also. I on the other hand don't baby it much, it's a work horse for me and even though I had to replace some things on it, it still does an awesome job. My youngest daughter is using it (she is 10, but started using it at 6). It's been good to me that's for sure. Thanks for the comment and letting us know how you like it.
No issues with towing this considering the weight is more than the zero turn?
No I didn't have any issue with it I was actually surprised. I did have a good hill I went up and it was a little tough but still went up it.(I think it was bc the grass was thick and was damp/wet ). But yep it pulled it.
@@investinurself3445 sweet, thanks for the rapid response! I have the same zero turn and am looking to buy either a bush hog or flail mower for my pasture. Just was reading online that the attachment shouldn’t be more than half the weight of the mower and that doesn’t leave many options lol. Thanks again!
Check where the spring is at 20.51 in this vid. Thats what I was trying to tell you in my comment from yesterday.
After looking at some of my other videos you are correct it was on the right side behind the oil dipstick. I may have to change it, however it's been on there like that for about 150 hours now or more. Thanks for pointing that out, I believe someone else may have said that too. I just figured it was the camera. Thank you for informing me, and I appreciate you.
Hi, I sent you a comment on your video where you replaced your Ride On Mower transmissions, Cheers.
Good to see you, thanks for hanging out with me.
Hi there, I have been ccomparing my Z242 with yours and I would say that the spring should be fitted to the opposite side and that you re-route your belt around the idler the other way. The groove in the floor where the bolt sticks up is curved forward so the spring can pull the idler further forward and tight on the right hand side. I have noticed this on several of these Husqvarna Zero Turns on UA-cam . I saw one vid where the bolt holding that spring had worn almost right through by the spring and was ready to break. He replaced the bolt and slid a piece of garden hose over the bolt and then fitted the spring over the hose. I went and did the same to my mower even though it was still new at that time, preventative maintenance. Any way, keep up the good vids. Cheers from down here in New Zealand.
I appreciate the comment, as for the spring being on the other side, I'll have to look at the video again I might have been recording using my front facing camera on my phone. If so it inverts whatever you are recording and if that's true then you are correct on where the spring should be connected. I greatly appreciate the words of encouragement at the end and ill do my best thanks so much for the Love.
What are people paying for this mower?
It all depends, I think they range about $2400-$3000, but you can get them on sale about this time of year for $2000-$2400 that's for a new one. You might be able to pick up a good used one for $1200-$1500 it just depends. Thanks for the question and hope that answer it. Hope you have an awesome weekend.
i knew when i first saw the condition of your mower that YOUR WIFE DRIVES IT
Lmao... thats funny. Thanks for making my day. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Thank you I will buy put a extra spring on mine it randomly starts acting up
Awesome hope this helps you. Thanks for commenting and watching the video. Hope you found value in it. Have a great day.
You saved me Buddy. I was on YT this morning looking for a recommended source for a transaxle for our Z254F. Saw your vid; went to ACE Hdw and got a spring $7.49 and in a bit I was driving up the steepest hill on our property. Thank you very much. Sub'd!
I appreciate the love and I'm glad it helped you out. That's my main goal with these videos is to help and not make the mistakes I did or even learn what I learned. I am very thankful for all my subscribers and I thank you for being part of the family. Have an awesome week my friend.
Wow, thanks. was online trying to find new right tranny for Z254F. Going to try this later today.
Do you have a video of you removing the rad support?
Unfortunately I don't, it was one of those last minute things I thought about doing. Which was record me doing it. So I made this one to hope let some people understand what I went through to swap it out. Looking back I wish I had bc it seems like a bunch of people are looking for that. I didnt think anyone would have been interested in it. Thanks for the comment and I hope you can understand what I was trying to explain in the video
Im buying mine monday thanks for the review!
No Problem, thanks for watching and dropping a comment
Sounds like you need a commercial mower. 359 hours of mowing in 3 years is way too much for a residential mower unless you want to buy a new mower every 3-4 years. Stop mowing 3 ft tall grass with it. Remember, right tool for the right job.
I appreciate the information. I now have over 600 hours and doing good. A commercial mower would have been great but they are 4x or more of this mower. Sometimes you need to get what you can afford and this one has worked great for me. Thanks for the comment.
I had to search high and low for this. Bless you sir. Hope all is well in the 4 years sense!
Still going great thanks for asking and I appreciate the comment and I hope it helped some.
Nice video, but Husqavarna z254f SUCKS! Big mistake! Will never own another one!
I appreciate the compliment, and sorry you didn't like yours. I still love mine and I have over 600 hours on it. Thanks for the comment
This is probably a very stupid question, but can you use a hover board charger for these? I found one of these selling for very cheap & i wanna buy it to take it as a small project. I have a hoverboard charger that used to be the one my brother would use to charge his hoverboard. The charger looks exactly like the one these use but i wanna be sure. I wanna know if it will work on these even if it charges the pocket bike slow or if i would need to buy a new one for it to be able to be charged
I know they look the same but not sure it they would work. I would say see what the charging voltage info is on the hoverboard and then see online what it is for the bike. I've never tried but worse case you can get chargers for cheap (like $15). Sorry I don't have a definite answer for you, but just doing a fast search and it looks like the pocket bike is a 24v and the hoverboard is a 42v so will it work? not sure.
My spring hooks to other side(2023)
Is it actually the opposite side or is my camera inverted? I'll have to look at the video again. Thanks for the comment
By the way you are correct on saying the spring should be on the other side, I just wanted to acknowledge you bc you also said it and figured it was the camera. I have however had it like that for about 150 hours or so, so when I do my next maintenance I may go ahead and change to the correct side. Thanks again for pointing that out.
what month was this corolla made? I see a cable style throttle.
Build date 11/04, bought date 12/04. Almost 20 years old
@@investinurself3445 They dropped the 04 motor into your 05 body style corolla. I like the intake manifolds on that 04 motors. I wonder if it is interchangeable w/ the newer motor & throttle body.
Normally the start making the new years model in the year before. For instance, if on 2005 models were coming out the start building them and releasing them to dealers in Aug of 2004. Now did they actually put an 04 engine in my 05, I don't know. All I know is I was working at a toyota dealership and bought mine new so as far as I'm aware is its an 05. Other than that I don't know, beside I know the 2006 was a little different.
I own the exact same model. Hint: if you turn the blades off you can get off the mower and the engine will stay running. I've had mine for 3 yrs. Still starts up quick. Never had a minutes trouble out of it. And that lever you said that makes ot go faster, it does raise the rpms on the engine.
I've had mine for 4.5 years now and I just took care of a lot of parts to make it look good again. I am still happy with the purchase of it, I think it's well over 500 hours now. I know it will stay running if blades are off, my issue is it doesn't run long, basically bc my steering arms are still tight so after 10 seconds the arms pull back in enough to turn it off. It's more of me needing to loosen a spring I think. Maybe one day. Thanks for the feed back and comment, I'm glad you're enjoying yours as well.
@investinurself3445 pull your seat forward and you can adjust your breaks. I think you can adjust that arm as well. I wasn't being a smart butt. I was just letting you know
Gotcha, ill take a look next. Appreciate the info. Nope your good, if I said something that seemed like that. My bad I wasn't meaning too.
@investinurself3445 no you didn't man. I just went back and read what I said and didn't want you to take it the wrong way.
Dang it looks terrible for 400hrs
Yep we were rough on it, replaced and did maintenance on it and looks pretty good now. A lot of the things I ordered for it seemed to be back ordered. Have short videos on my phone of some of it but didn't make a video for it. But I basically took it all apart and cleaned it all up replaced anything missing or broke
@investinurself3445 that's heavy right on man. I picked up a 46" it's got the Briggs/husky engine which is OK. Would have preferred a kawi or even Kohler. The reason I was trolling ye is because I'm experiencing some issues with the steering arms- right one is finicky and doesn't seem to have the radius or smooth movements that the left one does. Also the throttle after running it for a while if you try to throttle down before shutting it off it doesn't drop revs. Any advice? I'm going to go through what you're talking about in your video.
@ProteusOmnipotens-ov8oo I'm not sure if it was new or used but I would assume used or it has some time ran, as for the throttle I would say that sounds like the carb needs cleaned or the wire that adjust the throttle needs adjusted. For the arm being kinda weird I couldn't really tell you. Could just need some lube on something or even the joint is bent to some degree, that would need some more looking into. Hopefully this helps to some degree and sorry I can't be more helpful but without it being in front of me it's hard to say.
thanks for the video man, was wondering what the purpose of the spring is? and what doubling it does
It's a tensioner pulley, it pulls the belt tight. One spring wasn't pulling it tight enough so when I added a second it worked great and still is to this day. Thanks for the comment and question.
Hey man I just bought mine yesterday, I’m only 19 and don’t know much. Was wondering if you could maybe make a video on maintenance ? And just general advice you have for owning this
Awesome congrats. I have many videos on maintenance and also went over the manual. If you are looking for something in particular please let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.
Change oil in Hydro Gear Box's ((yearly)20w50 synthetic
Interesting, ill have to look, I thought the oil wasn't suppose to be changed like that, thanks for giving me something to research.
My clutch 16mm bolt fell out(2nd year),one idler bearing went out
I haven't had that bolt come out but I have had a couple other bolts come out, I just recently replaced those and put red loctite on the treads so they don't fall out again. I guess it's something to look at in the future or even other people. Thanks for the support and comment.
I put springs on rubbers under seat(no drilling ),lot better ride
That's a great idea
I will never buy another Husqvarna again. At 270 hours I was told I had to replace both transmissions just after warranty expired. $950 each plus shipping plus labor. I bought another brand instead.
Husqvarna uses Turbo-Gear transmissions, which are on many mower brands, so you need to check which transmissions you have if you think that was the problem. Not very many manufacturers make their own engines or transmissions.
What brand did you go with instead? Piled up before 300hrs?? Hm Huskys aren't top of the line but I've never had a "lemon" problem with their machines
Sorry you had that issue, hopefully it wasn't someone just trying to make money off of you. Like I said I thought it was the transmissions and turned out I just need more pressure on the tensioner pulley and all was good. But as above those transmissions are in quite a few zero turns like cub cadet and I bought my transmissions for $900 each and that was after I rebuilt them and thought I had messed them up. I didn't and I bought new transmissions for no reason which is why I did this video.
I just got one put new coil and battery in it but get no spark plug is new and I tested the ohms from cdi box connectors and everything checks out and I followed the manual guidelines and now I'm stumped I want to junk it it's so aggravating but I need help please the grounds are all good and clean so help me please
Just asking but is the kill switch on? If so switch it and see if that works.
Change the stator and pulse generator
The switch is good I wired it bypassing it
@@capone818figueroa4 I checked the stator and pulse generator with the volt meter and the ohms are good
I also can kick start it with my hand
Probably the worst mower I ever owned. In the same cutting I have bucking bronco and Tokyo slide.. It’s hard to even get it out of the garage without it bouncing around. Took it back to a place to work on it and they said “ nothing wrong “ …. Well crap……
I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I've had mine for almost 5 years with about 460 hours and it's still doing great. Matter of fact I did a bit of maintenance on it and it's running better than ever
Labai svarbus daiktas 😵
So,in the three years since this video,how have the drive motors held up? Just curious.
Great, I replaced them thinking it was the transmissions but it was a loose belt. They have worked great, tires slip a little bit but that's it. I have over 500 hours on it now
Thanks, don't be so hard on yourself!
I appreciate that, thanks for the comment.
Thank you so much! I have a '04 laramie 1500 and I love it. This video helped me keep it on the road.
That's great, I'm glad it helped. Thanks for the comment.
What do you gap the shark plugs at?
I apologize for being late to respond, in case you didn't get the answer the info I am getting for the kawasaki engine 691v is 0.75mm. Hope this help if not maybe it will help someone else that might be asking the same question. Thanks for the comment and support.
That was painful to hear. Sorry man. We have all pissed money away working on cars mowers excetra. Could you not had found a zero turn with a bad deck or motor. Most all of these type of mowers only use a couple different size drives. Most are all made by MTD. Not to rub it in but I bought this mower in a 2 blade 46 used that said needs belt and battery sold as is. it was at a local farm center. So I told him if I bought a battery and it starts and moves I will take it. I knew getting the deck going was going to be not near as expensive as a drive. It started right up and I look at the hour meter and it said 4.5 hours. Some dude bought it new and hit something it broke a spindle bent a blade and then it would never restart. It was new so he took it back and they sent it to a local repair shop to fix the motor. I guess the sudden dead stop sheard the key shaft on the flywheel and it was out of time. So the fix it but they kept it all winter before getting to it. They kept it outside. A new mower just left it in the rain and snow for about six months. The nex spring the dude was ready to get his mower back and when they pulled it around and it was weathered he said I am not taking that it was brand new. SO some how the gave him a new mower and this one was suppose to went back on warranty but never did. So 2 years later the farm center manager just wanted it gone and put it out front with a sign. $200 As is need blade belt and battery. So I grabbed it up lightning fast. I had to put a spindle on it and new blades but the belt was good but the tension spring was missing. So I got a almost new 2021 z246 for less than $350.
That's awesome, $350.Nice
Is the transmission very slow or would you say pretty good in speed and power (i think it's zt 2200 right)?
It's an ezt 2200 I'm pretty sure and as for the transmissions, they are ok. With me loving to race cars it's not fast for me but for a mower it's not bad. The speed keeps up with the cutting blades so im good with it. Now if you are asking does it have the speed of the $10+ commercial mowers, the answer is no but does okay. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment.
dont be washing your equipment with water especially on the deck, it ruins the bearings
also moist grass is harder on the deck belts
Thanks for the info, I'll have to look into that. They have a water hookup to clean it so that's a little new for me. Moist grass I'm sure is harder on the deck, most of the time when I do cut damp grass it's bc my allergies are kicking my butt and don't want the dry grass all in my face. Thanks for the comment and i hope you have an awesome day.
Bought an older 48" cut, used, some years ago. It started not going forward. Found the idler spindle frozen to the idler arm for the drive belt. Disassembled, cleaned and reamed out the idler arm hole to .001" over. Lubed, reassembled and no more problems.
Nice info thanks for the comment
Hey man! How did I get that battery off?? It won’t seem to come even after those two screws
It should just slide right on out. Sorry about the late response and hopefully you got it out. Mine I just pulled up and it came out. Thanks for the comment.
Glad you found the problem.
Yea, I wish I didn't have to buy 2 new transmissions to figure that out. Oh well, that's why I did the video so no one does the same thing I did. Thanks for the comment
You had a transmission drive belt slipping.
Yep that's what it was
I have the same mower, when are you going to install arm rests?
I would love to but I don't have the spare cash to get them to try, but if I ever get to that point I would love. I'm sure it would help my shoulders from hurting after being on it for hours. (Bc I have bad shoulders from sports). Thanks for the comment. ( I hope one day I can make that video though)
he is a mechanic
I am not a mechanic, bc if I was this would be my project mower on blocks. Lol just kidding. But I'm not a mechanic at all but I'm like most people, I need stuff done/fixed but can't afford the prices these other places are charging for these..... along with vehicles so I look at it as a time to learn something new. Thanks for watching.
I suggest anyone who lives on any kind of incline and has this mower to invest in studded tractor or off-road ATV style tires. "Turf saver" tires are already prone to slipping and the hydros on this particular mower are not very good at easing on the power. These 2 things combined with any type of incline and you will do far more damage to your lawn from constant slipping with turf savers than you ever will running tires with an aggressive tread. Keep in mind though that there is very little clearance between the body and the stock tire so if you want to go any wider you'll need some kind of spacer.
I agree, thanks for the comment
Were did you get the parts?
I'm not sure, but want to say A1 Auto. Com or carparts.com but I ordered everything online. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment
I've had very similar problems with my Zero turn Husqvarna. The right side often barely works. Seems OK for the first 10 minutes or so. Local dealer said sometimes air gets into the hydraulics! Thanks for this info re the spring. It has been missing badly so yesterday I took the fuel tank off and drained it and checked the line to the engine. Lo and behold it had clogged with dust etc that had gotten into the fuel tank.
Thanks for the info and the comment
