Hello Dennis. Haven't seen you in a while. Glad you're still around. I still have my YTH22V46 and have not graduated to the Hustler Raptor. You seem to ALWAYS hand out good advice.

Any ideas on why my left side release won't travel far enough to disengage?.it only moves a little but not enough to be able to disengage The left hydro.

[@loganshrum7480]

My man!

[@dwcoffey]

Thanks for watching, Logan!

[@danielfeliciano4009]

Hey man. Thanks for the video. I pull mine and ensure the break is off but it won’t release the transmission is there something I can’t tighten or do to get those pull tabs working.

[@dwcoffey]

Thank you for watching, Daniel! If you are pulling the tabs out on both sides and the parking brake is off, it should freewheel.

[@michaelfarris2556]

I have a cub cadet that is really sloppy when I pull the rings. I could hear your snap in place. Seems hustler maid a better transmission.

[@dwcoffey]

So far, so good with this Hustler...time will tell! Thanks for watching, Michael!

[@kellytuer5809]

What if after pulling the rings it still doesn't move

[@dwcoffey]

Make sure you don't have the parking brake set.....if the steering levers are pushed all the way out, that sets the parking brake. They need to be pulled in to position as if you were sitting in the seat, ready to steer. Thanks for watching!

[@kellytuer5809]

The church has this lawnmower and I have a friend who came by with truck and trailer to load it ..but he pulled those 2 rings and nothing..I pulled from the rear and nothing..it's inside a conex trailer..I'll check tomorrow if parking brake is on..

[@michaeljackson7361]

I pull mine

[@dwcoffey]

Thanks for watching, Michael!

[@tommacdonald7657]

Need to let people know to pull the steering arms in…. Before pulling or oushing……
