  If your HUSTLER Lawn Mower is vibrating abnormally, several issues could be the cause. Check if the engine mounting bolts, engine pulley, idler pulley, or blade pulley are loose and tighten them as necessary. Inspect the cutting blades; if bent or unbalanced, replace them. Also, ensure the blade mounting bolt is tightened. Worn or loose spindle bearings should be tightened or replaced. If the engine pulley is damaged or a blade spindle is bent, contact your Dealer.

  If your HUSTLER Lawn Mower circles or veers, the steering linkage may need adjustment or tightening. Ensure the tires are properly inflated to 8–12 psi (55–83 KPa). If these steps don't resolve the issue, a transaxle component might be faulty, and you should contact your Dealer.

  Laurie LambAug 26, 2025
  Uneven cutting height on your HUSTLER Lawn Mower can be due to several factors. Start by sharpening the blades or replacing them if bent. Ensure the deck is level. Adjust the anti-scalp wheel to the correct height. Clean the underside of the deck. Make sure the tires are properly inflated to 8–12 psi (55–83 KPa). If Flex Forks® are installed, level the deck after the initial break-in period. If a blade spindle is bent, contact your Dealer.

  If the blades on your HUSTLER Lawn Mower aren't rotating, it could be due to a worn, loose, or broken deck drive belt, in which case you should install a new belt. Also, check if the deck drive belt is off the pulley and reinstall it, looking for the reason it came off. Another possibility is that the electric clutch is not engaging; check and replace the 15 amp fuse. If problems persist, contact your Dealer.

  If your HUSTLER Lawn Mower engine won't start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, it might be due to several reasons. First, check if you have enough fuel or if the fuel line is plugged; if so, fill the tank or replace the line. Ensure you're using the correct fuel type; if not, drain the tank and replace it with the proper fuel. Also, inspect the fuel filter for dirt and replace it if necessary. Finally, make sure the choke is on by moving the choke lever to the ON position.
