That's a nice mower Tracy glad you got it figured out. Decent bag on there as well! Pine cones, trash and pine needles are my enemy every week a trash can full gets thrown in the trash since the snow melted. Great video Tracy have a great day my friend!!
Nice! I ended up mowing grass at Ft. Campbell for a time. We used Hustler Mowers, they were zero turn with three blades. You can cut a lot of grass wit those things! Looks like you have a nice one there.
Well, from the outside, she's beauty, all those belts a pullies, that looks like a space ship. You've got yourself a beautiful piece of land. This year, those haybales are worth their weight in gold. I hear some farmers haven't even gotten their first cut yet.,All the best to everyone.
Hi Fred. Thanks. This mower is hard at all to work on. Hopefully for the next few years it won't need much work. Hope your day is going well. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Thanks for the video Tracy, yea I want to get the same lawn mower but now I"m just not sure, you did a good job fixing yours and I'm just not mechanically inclined as you are, but if I had to be I guess I could even though we are not in the country which I wish we were....thank you again sir for this learning video..Paul in Indy
Hello I'm on my second CubCadet 33 inch the first one got written off in an accident(car ran over it) the belt guide on mine goes right across bolts on the left side and through a hole in the other,it has a Briggs and Stratton 350cc engine I have no problem with the fuel,you will know when the blades are out of time as they hit together,I had 700 hours out of mine before the timed belt bust,the old one had the blade mounts changed 2 weeks before the accident as the timing pulleys are not available separately in the UK, I changed the belt drive belt from an A70 to an A69 it gives a better cut as the belt is slightly tighter on short grass the A70 is fine but longer grass and mulching the belt tends to slip
I'm actually planing on getting one of these mowers to use just for the smaller yards with gates that I mow. Alot of people I have spoke to said long term it has held up great
If I would have been thinking, I could of just pinched off the fuel line till I got it home. But it has been a great mower so far. Thanks for watching and commenting 🤝
@@JonsDailyHustle , one thing that I have trouble with is the blade timing. Twice last year I had to re- time them because they started hitting each other. It was when I was engaging the blades, that they jumped time. It's not a big deal to put them back in time but you do have to remove the springs and one pulley to do so. More of an aggravation than anything.
@@tracyphillips3325 yea I understand that. I have the old troy bilt 33" version of this mower and it's about the same. It's long past it's time in service lol.
I'd think for $1800, I'd not expect so many complaints and problems with these mowers. I'm on my 8th, trouble free year with my $300 "push mower". I want to upgrade to a larger cut, but the problems are off-putting.
That seems like way too much went wrong way too fast. I realize that you have mechanical skills but I would’ve brought that thing back at the first sight of something going wrong. What type of warranty did it have? It does a nice job. Leaves the lawn looking great. Hope the rain holds off. Nice video! Well done Sir!
Hi Dennis. I wasn't to worried. It has a three year residential warranty or one year commercial. I worked at an equipment dealership for about 15 years and all these problems was not uncommon. Thanks for watching and commenting buddy 👍
Tracy Phillips Thank you for educating me Tracy. I had no idea that they were common problems. Fortunately you have the skills to do the repairs yourself. Have a good night buddy. The yard is looking great!
Hi Tracy, I have this mower and like it, but right now it doesn't want to start. If I try to jump it with a booster battery the starter just spins. In cars that means a solenoid or the battery. Looking at the battery it has a clip that goes over it, but it's not obvious how you remove this, have you ever had to do that? And if so any idea how the wire clip comes out? Personally I love this mower, its' one of the best I've had for my own personal use on my 1 1/3 acre lot. I also have a cub cadet rider. Both are the best ones I've owned.
If I remember correctly, I think the wire clip is held in place with one bolt. I did change the battery, but it's been several years ago. I don't remember it being that difficult. Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️
@@tracyphillips3325 You were right. When I got the mower up off the ground where I could see it (failing eye sight! ) I was able to see the bolt and got it off, now I have the battery on a charger, and hoping it will hold a charge, since they are rather costly. I'm hoping that there is something like a generic battery with the same CCA etc and size through some other sources, if it comes to that.
Any updates? Just bought a gently used one that’s 2 years old with 53 hours on it. Mint condition. So far it’s been an awesome machine. Only gripe about it is emptying the grass catcher. Bit of a pain in the butt. Was curious if you’ve had any other issues, and if you’re still happy with machine?
Hi Lake! I agree on the grass catcher. The only trouble I've had is the cogged belt will some how jump a few teeth, and the blades will hit each other. It's done it twice in a couple of years. So that isn't to bad. I just re time it, takes about twenty minutes. Can't see any reason for it to jump time. Thanks for watching and commenting 🤝
@@tracyphillips3325 but then who cuts grass that is 6 inches tall?? If your grass is 6 inches high you should't have a lawn in the first place.........
@@pierreverdoni , that's correct but not always possible. When it rains for days, or you are on vacation, or work just gets in the way. Living on a farm you always have plenty to do other than worrying about you lawn. Thanks for watching and commenting 🤝

got same mower put little clip on both handle save your hand in long run...i used mine for lawn business and run pretty good
Thanks , that's a good idea. I appreciate the info!
What do you mean you put a clip on the handles... does that help with the annoying angle of the handles the mower comes with?
You know your stuff buddy! 👍
Just second nature. 👍
She looks like a beast brother!
Thanks Doug. It works pretty well. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend 👍
how i wish we have beautiful machine like that here, but for sure thats very expensive, i like that, coz separate the grass, really clean works
Thanks Rhebhecz. It makes cutting the grass easier for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
@@tracyphillips3325 ,yes very easy and its clean also coz theres place where grass goes, your welcome
That engine flooding is a very common problem for that mower, a quick fuel shut-off valve is an easy fix
