Thanks a ton, I just bought a new hustler 4 days ago. I saw this vid, watched, clicked on the link and ordered for under 20 bucks. It came in the mail today and less than 5 minutes it's installed and works great. Thanks again.
brian 1 awesome buddy ...👍👍
I got the 52" Raptor two weeks ago and mowed. I didn't realize it didn't have a hour meter. I found your video first and went to Amazon and ordered one. When it came in I watched your video again to make sure I wire it correctly. It was so easy to install. Took about 5 min. Thanks for sharing.
no problem buddy ...I had link on bottom a vid ...glad it worked out
"Tanks" jus got my new Raptor. Had to buy the engine shield for an outrageous price, but you saved me on the hour meter! Thanks for the link on the meter!!!
dddemeno no problem buddy I'm had it helped you man 😉😉😉
So glad my meter came today. Same thing you purchased. wish I would have bought it sooner. my meter is gonna 10hrs behind, almost exactly.
cool ...yea its a real must for any mower or really any piece of motorized equipment
yea just a estimate... actually my buddy who's a small engine mechanic says it had 30-40 hours on it ... I just add 40
Man that is super easy. This is why I love this community, so much sharing of knowledge and experience. Great video bro!
thanks Mike I appreciate that ....yeah it really is awesome...sometimes we take for granted
Great video I purchased a 2020 Toro Timecutter and wanted to add a hour meter found your video and ordered the Husqvarna meter for 20.00 and it works perfect.
Awesome brother 💪
Great video thanks for showing how its done. I just bought a raptor and ive never started it yet going to get that hour meter before i start it. Thanks
Awesome brother...no prob at all jason ..good luck with her 👍👊👍
Great video I have even fitted hour meters to my push mowers
Great video.
My new Rover LZ48 ( the red cub cadet) has a similar hour meter. No button though. It monitors battery voltage, oil volume and tells you when to change the oil.
It cuts real nice too :)
thanks buddy I hope I showed just how easy it is to put one of these in ...honestly don't know why every company don't put these on ...very important accessorie....I still want my vid of your red cub cadet lolol
+Supreme Services Lawn Care your video will have to wait. I took it back to the dealer to get the sticks adjusted and get the steering adjusted so it tracks in a straight line when both sticks are full forward.
Thanks man I'm going to check some out tomorrow and see he said most don't have fencing around them so I guess that's good I might check out one of those bravo 25s you been talking about for the ones with fence
cool ...that sounds smart bro
Thanks dude! I bought the same hour meter for my craftsman ZTR (made by Husqvarna). Heading out to look for the cutout!
Any idea what the third connection is for?
Well, the cut out on my Craftsman Z5800 is twice the size (and only one cut out), the spare wires (3) are connected to a modular plug...
Great video...eazzzy peazzzy. Don't understand why the manufacture has you buy one when you pay so much for their equipment. Should be standard on every rider so the consumer knows when to service it.
So what does it do at 50 hours other than display 50 to remind you to change the oil? Very nice video btw, thank you. I would have NEVER thought it came not only pre-wired but already a cut out. Mine is due for its first oil change so this is perfect timing to install one. :-)
So where do the black and red wires connect on the mower itself - ours came back from service disconnected not at the switch but whereever the wires go to from the switch to receive the readings to the switch.
Keep the vids coming bro..I got a raptor 52 with the kawasaki put an hour meter on ,leveled the deck now I cut every 3 days I love it so much...just had someone offer me almost 40 yards 2000-3000 square ft each because they like my 1acre yard so much but i don't know how to price them lol.. the guy is tired of mowing his own property's what would you think is a good price I'm 30 miles south of chicago
damn that's small bro ...if you can do it with a 52 inch mower ...which where I am that's impossible...but damn 25 bucks would be reasonable but if it's a upper class area that has a lot to do with it ...put it to you this way I have a 10k Sq ft lot in a lower to middle class neibor hood ...I may charge $40.00 ...but the same lot in upper class neiborhood I would charge $55- $60.00 ...depends on area ...but you being new I would be careful and do something in middle...good luck bro
Hi, just got a raptor today and just ordered the same hour meter, but now i would lkke to know if there js a way to add a fuel gauge to this unit, any ideas? Btw thanks for your videos, been watching them for the past few days.
Hey buddy ...you can buy a gas cap guage...but honestly the see threw area works fine ...i wouldn't worry about it 👍👍🤘
Steve,does this meter have a battery in it,i see it has an un used prong,my SD uses all three,maybe the third prong sends voltage to the unit so the battery wont die???
Yes ..there all the same bro
Thanks!
Do these have batteries in them? I purchased one and installed it but it’s not working. I noticed yours was on when you had not connected it yet. I’ll have to look at mine again.
Hey just wondering, was that wiring harness for the hour meter in there from factory or was it set up from the mechanic who made the mistake with the first hour meter?
Cheers Steve.
No mechanic ever touched this mower besides me . All done from factory. If you can tie your shoes you can do this
They use the same harness on all Hustlers so they are all prewired for hour meter from the factory.
Would this work on a Cub Cadet ZT1 42 ?
Steve man u hooked it up exactly like this. no issues there. I have maybe 2 hours on the unit. checked the hour meter last night it reads 51.7. ita telling me to change the oil. is it reading hours with just the key in it not in the on position?
Chris S you got something wrong
Supreme Services Lawn Care. 3864570893. text me . I'll hit you up later and show you what it's doing
I'm going to do that tomorrow
What if mine doesn't have 2 loose wires to plug into the hr meter?
If you bought a Skag, you would have gotten one in it! Hehe.
It's working on my badboy
so you're Hustler was pre-wired for the hour meter?
every hustler is ...
+Supreme Services Lawn Care have you found what the other box is for? I just ordered the same hour meter.Thanks for all the vids tool man keep them coming.
+Keith Tucker no problem Keith ,..no I have no idea ...might be a aux spot for a small hour meter .. really nothing else can go on panel ...
2015s and later 2014s came with the pre-wired rigging....my 2013 does not...had to wire myself....which was a ground and tying into a week feed off the harness connected to the ignition switch.
Will that void your warranty?
No ..they have a spot for it for a reason
finally a zero turn!
lolol....yeah this is one of a kind
FYI....The other cut out is for running light kit.
Might be a dumb question.....
After oil change how do you clear it for next oil change?
The reset button is fussy....hold it down or press it so many times?
Lol..mine never worked on this mower I just counted 50 ..don't have to be exactly at 50 ..if I was a homeowner I would just do at end of each year
