 Southeastern Illinois
HELP!!! Ok so I am up in Southeastern Illinois for college. I've got a 31 hp GD LT. It's time to replace the lower bushings and seals. Normally I just have Kevin at Low Country Mud Buddy help me out but since I'm not in my home state of SC I'm in a little bit of jam. Is anyone on here located within an hour or 2 of Harrisburg, Illinois? OR know ware i could take my rig to get it fixed? Need to get her fixed asap!

 Re: Southeastern Illinois
I know when I had my first two LT's, both GD's, GD was great about shipping me any parts after I provided the Serial # of the motor. This way you could call them, get the replacement bearing and seals quickly and have a local mechanic replace them if you can't do it yourself. After the first year, I always had an extra set of bearings and seals because I usually had to replace them yearly. I remember I always carried my loaded grease gun.

 Re: Southeastern Illinois
Buy the parts and turn a wrench, the owners manual basically holds your hand and tells you how to do it.

 Re: Southeastern Illinois
School is for fools. Drop out so you have time fix your motor. You gotta get your priorities straight bro.
