GRASSHOPPER 721 DECK DEATH WOBBLE AND HOW TO CURE 

Thanks for all the hard work that you do making these vids. Good Job.

Thanks for posting. This will be my project for this weekend on my 718.

I appreciate you sharing this

Great information!

Thanks

Fixing this tomorrow - thanks

Hey love the videos been a long time follower. Question have you done any video showing the main drive pulley belt on a zero turn I have to replace mine on my Toro Time Cutter and looks like a pain. I'm going to tackle it this spring so I thought I would ask if there are any tricks to doing this.

Not sure about this era. But they also make slotted bushings which allow the deck to articulated up & down for dips, etc. v being fixed solid.

Think You Brother My Dad Bought A Used Grasshopper Mower It Needs Some TLC I've Probably Got A Little Work To Do To It if I Can Manage To Drive it Back To My House And Get It Into The Garage So That I Can Repair it

Thank you for all the great videos over the years. I’m trying to figure out what I have wrong on a 1999 725g with a 9661 deck. I did extensive welding repairs to this deck and rebuilt it and now trying to get it going after years apart. I think I have it together properly but the left rear of deck is hanging really low and loose when the deck is raised up. It seems like it’s not latching but it appears to be latched properly but still sags on the left rear and scalps on that side. When I raise the lift handle the right side starts to raise right away and the left not so much. Does the short stabilizer bar on discharge side have anything to do with this? Or the two lever handle bushings in the height adjustment mechanism? The short stabilizer was rusted solid and had to be heated to remove and the position was lost on threaded rod. The bushings in the lever handle were missing so I made some out of a 1/2” spacer. It seems like the problem is at the latch area where the load transfer arm with the d rings is. Per grasshopper I used a pry bar to lift the left rear of deck to get the latch to snap in place but appears to already be latched but sagging lower compared to right side. Thank you for any help you can give.

Hey might you have a part number for the bushings?

hello, i have an older 722d with a 61 inch deck and motorized deck lift. i am halfway threw the bushing change and the deck seems to be spring loaded pushing the arms in and down. how do you detention them to line bolt and bushings lined up to replace.

Nice

How did you put the new washer in? That wasn't shown. I've got a 727 with many hours and a son that drove it. Thanks.

I have a grasshopper 618 model and cannot figure out how to adjust my deck lower. When I put it on the lowest setting it isn’t low enough it’s still about an inch and half or so off the ground could you help me with this please ?

Thanks for this! Can you do a post on the basic maintenance of grasshopper mower? How to remove the deck and put on other implements etc.

The reason those go bad is that the way they are designed they hold the deck horizontally rigid to the tractor. That quickly wears the bushing out. You can now get bushings that are notched in the bottom middle to allow for more movement without destroying the bushing. I highly recommend that style for folks that mow where the lawn is not level and smooth. They will last much longer than the originals. And the easiest way to change those is to install the rear deck support jack, release the latches, lift the attaching arms with the height lever, and roll the tractor back slightly. Much easier to change those bushings without having to fumble around underneath the attaching arms. BTDT!

I have a problem with mine..grasshopper2001 225 ,speedster ..my blades stop working ,already pour a lot of money in to it...can't find problem. ...any idea's? ?

This may sound dumb as hell.... but how the hell do I get the foot rest back down?!?!?

Good info, but you could have shown the actual change out

Any idea why a grasshopper zero turn would go in reverse but not forward. Thanks
