    Dude!!! This is by far the BEST maintenance video that I have ever seen. The close-up split screen camera angles really helped to see what you were doing. I haven't decided on a ZTR Mower yet, but your video on how easy the maintenance can be really helped. Thank you for keeping it simple. This video was really professionally done! Nice job!

    Great video and great mower. I have the same one with over 600 hrs now. Quick tip, for greasing that center deck spindle, that small hole you put the grease gun hose through, right behind it is a black knob, take that out and the entire floor pan comes off. Makes changing belts easier too

    This is an excellent video! I felt comfortable doing all these items myself because of your video, so thank you!
    I didn't have an oil filter remover, so I ended up having to use the "drive a screwdriver through the filter with a hammer, then use the screw driver as a handle to turn the filter." Not my favorite option, but it worked.

      I have the same white oil tank between the seat and engine that you have, with the filtered breather tube sticking out hanging in the air, which is strange to me. The tank is basically empty, it says 20W-50 on it and I'm not sure if it's for the hydro's or if I should mess with it or not.

    The oil draining that seemed like the biggest pain in the butt because everything else you did rather quickly. I wonder next time if you bought more oil and poured it down there while I was trying to drain that way workflow faster I know it’s a waste but just a thought.
