Husqvarna Z248F Zero Turn ZT 2100 Transmission Issues

This is what is happening in your Hydro-Gear ZT-2100 Transmission of your Zero Turn that Husqvarna claims is maintenance free. Hydro-Gear's Service Manual Recommends you use 20W50 Engine Oil. Due to the amount of aluminum shavings found in the oil while servicing the unit, I also added Lucas Oil Stabilizer to each unit. Not sure if it will help with the wear and tear but only time will tell.

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.

Looks like something to
Do annually…👍

Just changed mine for the first time after 60 hours on my ZT-2800's. My oil looked exactly the same this morning.

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

[@bubblez9104]

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

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

[@Skuhnked]

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

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 ?

[@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.

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

[@meyo7443]

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

[@Erilolen]

Hi, how can we contact you for business inquiry?

[@daniellang6112]

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