Hustler 19/42 Mini Fastrak

[Mel Hugo]

How do I check the oil in the transmission in this Hustler 19/42 Mini Fastrak ? Looks like a pre-sealed hydro transaxle. I know on the 2006 Fastraks you would use the dipstick supplied with operators manual & go through breather hole. My concern is that with heat, oil will dissapate causing oil level to drop, eventually detroying transmission. Also would 20W50 motor oil be the recommended oil to use in the hydro ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Do you have a 19/42 Super Duty FasTrak? or a 17/42 Mini FasTrak?
They have different hydro model #'s.
I am assuming you have a 17/42 Mini Fastrak.
Here is a link to the parts manual > http://www.hustlerturf.com/Web-content/Manual/manuals%20pdfs/Parts%20Manuals/333559_0908.pdf
In the back of the manual there is a maintenance section.
Go to pages 9-11 and 9-12.
This shows where to check the fluid and how to add to it.
And it does use 20w50 oil.
