I have the Same mower. You missed the fitting between the 2 front wheels under the engine and the 8 hour service calls for greasing the mower deck fittings.
It's been good to me. No complaints. I've only got about 15 hours on it. Centipede is a slow grass so I dont have to mow more than once a week, typically.
Thanks! - I have the same S170. Love it! I forgot about the wheel bearings. - My FIRST grease gun job too - I ALSO had trouble disengaging the fitting. - Just pull harder? - lol Happy mowing! Are there no other places that need grease? - Cheers!
The first 8 hour one is pretty simple. The 25 hour one is quite a bit more, lol. There are grease fittings on the mower spindles, and a host of other spots. I might be coming up to my first 25 hour maintenance soon. I'll try to record it!
No I have not changed the oil. Typically, oil changes are either every 50 hours OR once a year. I doubt that I'd get 50 hours in a year on my mower but I suspect that I'll be changing the oil around the Fall this year since I haven't yet owned it for even a full year yet.
@@HoneyDoHomestead This video is a big help, thanks for uploading it, will prep once I hit the 8 hour mark, because this thing cuts so well so fast, it will take a while until I get to the 8 hour mark.
The “jaws” of the grease gun tip that connect to the zerk are adjustable by rotating the tip so you can lock onto the zerk then twist to release.
Thank you I didn’t know that
You missed the zerk in the center (Between the front wheels) S160 owner. It's a lawn tractor.
Check your center front axle from underneath and grease it

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely have to check that out!
Good catch and good to know!
Awesome video I’m going to buy the exact same one this spring and just remember grease is cheap maintenance
You can loosen or tighten the tip to make it fit the grease fittings better i bought the lock n lube tip best thing ever
You forgot the center front axle grease
How do you like this John Deere so far?thinking about getting one this spring.

YES
Lawn tractor😂
Did you change the oil filter kit after 8 hours of use?
If I use for cutting the lawn oil, after how many hours do I need to grease?
