    Default Hour meter stopped working.

    Hey guys, the hour meter on my Toro ZTR has stopped working so does that mean that I don't need to worry about changing oil or greasing it or cleaning air filter or sharpening blades any more?

    It's been on 624.4 hours for the last 2 weeks now.

    sounds about right to me also i think this means you can run it for another few years without it dropping much in value
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    I think that means you are due for a newy. Have you cut any lawns in the last two weeks? This could have something to do with it

    No, I've been using it but the hour meter stays the same, it's either the gauge itself or it doesn't get electrcal power to it. It is the old fashioned type with scrolling numbers not a digital one.

    I still have to put petrol in it but. That's a bummer.

    i have been wanting one of those for ages, for the honda.

    i am leery of using internet companies, was hoping to find one i can buy in a shop.

    Waterproof one would be good, too, notice yours, redeye is NOT.

    but thanks for the links, may have to take a chance and try.
