I have an '06 Yazoo Kees (no longer made but an excellent machine) with 556 hours. Just performed this o-ring replacement for the second time in 17 years. Both times, the leaking issue was eliminated. Thanks for the video...and the music did not bother me.
@@joeycarolfi9831 I just put it back on the way it came off. If you're not sure try it one way and if. It doesn't work turn it 180 degrees. You have a 50/50 canch of getting it right the first time. Good luck.
Tonight I just re-built mine with new filter and O-rings because of this awesome video. I was able to do the work easily and it worked perfectly. Thank you. I'm re-filling the oil now waiting to see if it drains down easily.
I noticed you only replaced the o-ring and didn't put on the new cover plate. Any particular reason why? The new cover plates are completely different in shape and heavier, The new ones have a round side one of the bolts goes in and the other side is flat. On my mower one side has the round side facing the outside and the other side has the flat side facing the outside. I marked my old ones before I removed them so I could examine them and look for the differences. One side is a little more narrow in size so you have to pay close attention installing the new ones. Anyone else have the same issue with the new plates not mounting the same way on their mower? Also my kit didn't come with a new gear. It only came with an o-ring, cover plate and 2 bolts. Great video.
Thanks for doing this video! i have a Scag Mower. it has a very similar charge pump setup, and unfortunately the same oil leak. I know much mare in advance of this repair thanks to you. Great video!
Thanks for sharing as my new exmark radius with the z2800 and only 25 hrs. is leaking already in the same spot as yours was . Now I know why , I suppose the warranty may cover mine .
Those ZT Hydro Gear Drives all leak from the charge pump, it's because the aluminum charge pump covers all warp at around 300 hours. the new charge pumps are cast iron and will not warp. I replaced mine on my Bad Boy at 300 hours and at 425 hours, the left Hydro gear stopped working, So I bought a 2020 Hustler X One a few weeks ago. It has parker Hydro's, not those crappy Hydro Gear ZT's.
Hello. You said the other drive leaked. Where did it leak? And how did you fix it? I have a left drive that leaks. I've just been putting in oil in reservoir to refill. It's a back up mower but ill need to fix it someday. It's a Fastrak 2800 drive. Thanks
Looking for just the o-rings. ANyone have a part number please. I have a model number of 928382 on my 54" mower. Looks just like yours. Not seeing a similar model number of 3100, etc like yours. I purchased in 2010. GREAT VIDEO and thank you much!
Chris, Good Morning, Love your Video, question, I just bought a 2009 Fastrac HD if I remove the cover on this unit, is there small parts that will come out, mine is leaking a little, Note the unit only has 400 hrs and the hyd oil or 50W was filthy black, change with new filter and oil will do again after i run it 20 hrs. Best to you this year, Paul
Thanks, Paul. Depends on the model hydro-gear you have . there are some that have sone fiddly bits that gravity may release when you remove the cover. the 3000, i think.... but if your hustler has the 3100 you're good to go. no parts explosion when you remove the cover.
Hi, I have a Ferris 400s and it has ZT3100 hydro deives, not sure if this is a problem but if I jack the drive wheels up and engage the bypass levers the left wheel still turns when I move the main levers forward and back. The right wheel will not move, I can stop the left wheel from turning if I hold onto it by hand with a tight grip. Any thoughts if there could be an issue with it?
@@dropmranch I found that if I pulled hard on the bypass the wheel would stop turning but there is no external adjustment on my drives unfortunately. I changed the oil and filter on the drives recently, thinking the internal port could be blocked I added some engine flush before I dumped the oil and run it for about 5-10min, seemed to help but (do this at your own risk), I could tell the drives didn't like it Getting near the 10min mark.
If you don’t replace the cover with the new updated cover kit you’re wasting your time it will leak again. New cover is cast iron. People do not do this without replacing the charge pump cover with the new cast iron cover. Trust me. Proud Hustler Dealer here
I bought one kit and it looks so big I thought it was the wrong part. i have not put it on yet but now that axle will not turn. It was ok before the repair.
Joseph McCue it’s not the wrong part it’s painted black in cover and larger than the original aluminum cover. And it probably doesn’t work because you installed the cover 180 degrees off. And didn’t purge the unit after.
No I have not installed it yet. It just looked like it was the wrong one. The axle does not work after I changed the oil and just the o-ring. I am hoping it is just air or a stuck by pass valve. I greatly appreciate your help. I am frustrated because I only have 400 hours on this machine. BS used a paper thin crappy gasket for the crankcase and it was leaking. I fixed that and now this. Thanks Again!
Joseph McCue when you installed the o ring you installed the old cover incorrectly. Trust me that’s why it doesn’t work. Take it back off and turn it around. Then disengage the hydro reliefs and purge the unit. It should start back pulling. I’ve seen this time and time again when people install the o ring. But you still the need the cover it shows in this video. This guy should have installed the new covers he bought he will regret it.
When you remove the cover you’ll notice the pump is slightly off center on one side. People often don’t mark them when removing. Or you could install the new cover with the flat side towards the left side of the machine and resolve your issue also. Too bad you’re not close to Greenville NC you could come see us at Ron Ayers Motorsports and we could take care of it for ya.
Josh Maddox that won’t fix it permanently get the 603572 kit from your hustler dealer. New charge pump cover is cast iron not aluminum. Just seals I️ promise it will leak again if not right away with time.
I know this is an old video and I don't know how you make them today but I would like to watch them if you have eliminated the music. Other than that it was a very good video.

The oring is a #137 3/32dia. x 2.25 OD and is available from any industrial seal house. It fixed mine,
How do you know which way to put the cover back on ?

Very good video and solid angles to help us see what you did. On to do mine now. Thanks again

Joseph You better replace the charge pump cover too
Laughing at 'big internet lie', taking comfort in 'just put it on any way you want to'. We all need more of this.
Mine has been leaking. Thanks for this video!

I think I have this same problem!!! Great video, Im going to trouble shoot this later as my fast track seems to be leaking in the same spot!!
Appreciate the video, saved some serious money by just buying the o-rings. Thank you!!!
Got a mower like yours.. same problem with 400 hours on it. Were can I get the o rings without buying the pump gear.....Great viideo
My brackets broke up front and back how do I get it center
I was wondering when did you first change the transmission oil. Was it at 500 hours. ?.

Just did this job today. The O-rings were a lot flatter than the new O-rings...
Does the hustler sport 42. Is it able to be serviced don’t think it has a filter. It’s a hydro gear hydrostatic rear ends.

What are the torque specs on the bolts? is this common on all ZT pumps?
Great video got any part numbers for what ya bought
What causing the hydrogear leaking on hustler mower? My has 400 hours I am not having any leakage problem.
Do you have the part number for the kit with o ring and gear?
This is common issue. The o-ring flattens out to easy. Leaking at 400 hours is unacceptable.
What happens if you forgot to identify the mark? 😬 I have that problem
Any torquing info when replacing the plate?
15 in/lb

Did he say that the riding mower has 357.00 hours??
Loving the background soul music...how did you do that or was it just playing in the background? Either way your voice came through really well!

I need that exact kit and I can't find it anywhere
Mark The Cover on The Charge Pump, Must Go Back in Same The Direction it Came Off, or It Won't Work
How do you know which way to put it on
I just intalled this on my ferris z6oz now the hydro gear wont move at all
Can you just order the o rings? If so could someone send me a link
Josh Maddox that won’t fix it permanently get the 603572 kit from your hustler dealer. New charge pump cover is cast iron not aluminum. Just seals I️ promise it will leak again if not right away with time.

I know this is an old video and I don't know how you make them today but I would like to watch them if you have eliminated the music. Other than that it was a very good video.
I blow mine off after every time I use it
get somebody to run the camera for you. you cant do multiple things at once and make a decent video
In my opinion back ground music not needed. Very distracting to me. Video didn't really show everything he was doing in detail.
Do you want him to visit your house and do it for you?
Turn off that damn music!
Music sucks
