    Nice video ! On that last grease zerk fitting I just turned it pointing it down its now easier to grease.

      That's what I was gonna say. Just turn the fitting to where you can get on it.

      Which direction did you rotate the zerk fitting? And did you just leave it in that position permanently?

    Great video - For that last hard to grease fitting - I did just what everybody else did, I rotated the fitting so I can get the grease gun on it. these grease point are not high pressure so there is no real chance of leaks etc if you loosen the grease fittings slightly. But great video

    Over 500 hours on my Radius. I grease all four points every 25 hours. FWIW I use a right angle attachment on my grease gun for both wheels and for the zerk at the back of the deck. For the zerk under the engine, I just rotated the fitting to point to the rear and the straight grease gun fitting works fine. No need to do the disassembly you are going through.

    7/16 wrench if the grease fitting is stand and spin it clock wise toward you so you don’t have to take the 9/16 bolt loose

    The last zirk was pointed down for me as well. I jacked the rear to get a good look at it but in the future I'll probably just be able to lock on without jacking.

    I really appreciated the video! I bought my Exmark Radius E in Spring of 2021. Don't know if it's actually a 2020. That last grease fitting on mine was pointing down and east to get to so maybe they saw your video and changed the placement of the fitting. Thanks for the videos!

    Look into those vertical spindles on the front wheels. They used to have fittings years ago, but they eliminated them. But they need to be taken apart and greased. Or you could add a fitting to it by drilling and tapping a hole.

    485 hours (residential) on my 4 1/2 year old 60" Radius E, had a couple warranty covered problems...........but for the most part, I'm happy with mine. Keep it lubed, do your oil changes, keep the deck clean or you can break belts, give it some Seafoam once a year and it'll do fine. I'm cutting 5 acres/week, run it 2 - 4 hrs. at a time depending on rain/darkness.

  • @glenmcdaniel1142

    You can back off of the grease fitting 1/4 turn, so it faces outward. Apply the grease and retighten the fitting.

    Thanks for the great video. However, at the 4:45 mark is it possible to use a small wrench and actually turn the grease zerk itself about one quarter turn just enough to reach with grease nozzle instead of removing the other part?

    • @foster_williams
      @foster_williams  3 года назад +1

      It is, but you'll have to remove it to get to that zerk. I did that, later on.

      If you have exmark mowers, there’s a jack that easily connects on the front. I think it’s called a bulldog jack.

      I ended up splurging for the bull dog jack, as well. It’s made that job a lot easier. Before, I used a vehicle jack with a block of wood to allow for more travel up, but that method had a lot of room for error.

    • @sanfordpemberton8053
      @sanfordpemberton8053 9 месяцев назад

      Should always run at full throttle while blades are engaged. I typically run 1/2 to 3/4 on levers for forward movement. The latter depends on current cut quality and grass thickness. If you don't like how it's mowing reduce forward speed but always maintain full throttle.

    Please refrain from making videos about what you know nothing about. You don’t need to take the mower apart just give each point a couple squirts of grease each time you mow that’s it

    • @foster_williams
      @foster_williams  2 года назад +12

      Thanks for your comment. I made his video according to intervals and procedures included in the service manual. Please refrain from making negative comments and adding disinformation to the context of the video. For the record, I use this mower commercially, so “a couple squirts of grease each time” would not be efficient. Thanks for watching.
