Post 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!

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.

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

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