Thanks for your excellent video. I didn't need to read the directions. Your video was outstanding. Thanks very much.

Really appreciate the hustler mower content specially the maintenance ones

Dennis I just found your video and it was a great help. Your video made my oil change very easy. Thanks.

Just got my raptor x 54” a week ago today! It is a great machine, I absolutely love it. Thank you for these videos.

I like the aluminum foil tip. I never thought of that. I'll probably use that on my cars and trucks too. Thanks for the video, brother!

[mpifer]

Good video, I usually back the left rear wheel on to a 2x4 to give it a little tilt to one side.

Makes me nostalgic for my Cub Cadet and the 10 minute oil change. Great video, thanks!

[brians]

Great video. Very thorough and straight to the point. Doing my first 10 hour oil change this weekend.

I just brought my hustler raptors XD 54- deck last week. Only two hours so far. You are correct on getting longer hose to drain oil...i just install my hitch today ..good video !!!

[charlesavino]

Listen to Dennis, he knows of what he speaks. Make the aluminum foil boat, you will save yourself a huge mess. Be careful with that plastic release valve, I was afraid to over tighten it and it leaked till I got back down there and gave it a little more umph. That thing should be metal. Thank you again Dennis. That was a lifesaver video.

I used a small disposable aluminum baking pan. I had cut a slot under filter.

Got a new one for Father's Day and haven't reached the 10 hour oil change point yet.Fooled around checking with that oil drain tube.Didn't look too good to me so I went to Home Depot and got some clear 1/2 in. tubing. I needed some for other things also so I got 10 feet for $6.xx

Appreciate your videos, Dennis...and the very end of this sparked a question! What did you do to enable you to start it without being on the seat? I know it's a 'safety' feature, so it's at my own risk! Did you disconnect the pressure switch at the back of the seat?

[ricardoarias]

excellent video...thank you for your help.

I'm not sure how I like that the pump fans don't have a cover over them. I'm assuming the fans are plastic?

[Pigalino]

Makes changing the oil on the old Husky look easy huh? 😉

[steves]

Oil quantity for the full change please?

[TReagan]

I need help. My drain plug will not loosen. With the design, it’s difficult to get both my hands in that small area. The whole thing wants to turn

[scotty]

I guess the raptor XD would be same procedure?

[heidihokes]

I watched your video on replacing the Husqvarna front tires with flat free. I have same model I just bought, but tires on it are 15x6.00, but the Marathon flat free only has 15x6.50 Not sure if I can go from 6.00 to 6.50???? Help, please
