    Thank you Dennis, you have helped this 75 year old lady with her 16 year old Husqvarna birthday gift, from her husband, running smooth.
    Keep up the great work explaining how to service my mower.

    Dennis, you are very in tune with maintaining your mower. 90 percent of guys are very poor with the maint. required to keep their equipt. running. One tip I will share is NOT to wash your mower with water especially on top of your deck. Water is very fluid and will seep into your deck spindle bearings. Bearings are sealed to keep out dust dirt etc. but not water contrary to belief, a small amount will rust and wash the grease out. I use an air compressor to blow all the build up after every cutting. Engine,deck, and transmission. I only wash maybe once a year but follow with air to dry out. Just my 2 cents.

Thank you for doing every maintenance step for this mower...right down to the ones I didn't think were out there...Today I did a oil change, 2 spark plugs...(22 B & S), fuel and air filter, new belt and new blades and greased...and it only cost parts....where a shop would tripple it... I am SO proud..and actually keeping that chart. Thanks for the way you teach...even I can easily understand.. ( I hate those belt guards too!)

    Good video. I might add two things. When greasing the steering kingpins I always raise the front of the machine and let the wheels and axle hang free so that the grease gets into the contact areas. There also is likely a fitting in the middle of the front axle to lubricate the pivot. If you jack up the machine by the frame it will unload this area allowing the grease to get into the contact areas. By doing this maintenance the tractor will steer like new for a long time. Thanks for posting.

    Well done Dennis. Clear, to the point, and well edited. Good point about cleaning the transmission cooling fins. I will check mine the next time I have my deck out. One thing I do is use my petrol leaf blower to clean the clippings, debris etc from the mower rather than washing it with water. Less rust. Thanks.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  6 лет назад

      Hey Mark, thanks for watching! A couple of other folks have mentioned that too and I've started using a blower when the clippings are dry. If its wet out when I cut, I end up using the hose to clean off the deck still. But I agree with you....the blower does a much better job getting all the loose stuff out of hiding places on the deck! Thanks again!!

    Good to see you wipe the zerk fittings off before greasing. Most people (the auto shop) don't do this and you'll see galling on a shaft right at the grease point (if you ever disassemble it.) Good video by the way and thank you. I have a high quality shopvac that I use with the hose hooked up backwards (in reverse) to blow off debris. If you use a crevice tool on the end of the hose, you can get as much as 25 pounds of pressure for cleaning. That way you don't have to use a hose to flush the machine off.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  5 лет назад

      I agree about the zerks...also, not wiping them forces all that grit into the very thing you're trying to lubricate. Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing the tip about the shop vac. Great idea!

    Hey Dennis. Well, I done it. I got my YTH22V46 Husqvarna lawn tractor today from Rural King. Borrowed my bosses trailer and got it home. Needed a new one real bad like cause I Flipped my other one End over End last year. It was close but it didn't get me. I was on a steep hill and got stuck 3./4 of the way up and when I pressed the left pedal which controls the drive train, I started rolling backwards,,,then I let it out to go forward and that's when it went end over end on me. Anyway, I won't be mowing that hill anymore. Thanks again for the very important information on this lawn tractor. It will be a big help in my future maintenance plans.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  6 лет назад +1

      Wow Joe!! I'm sure glad you weren't hurt! I have one steep hill that I mow and I'm very careful with it....I've decided this year that I'm installing terraces with flower beds so I don't have to cut it.

    So about cleaning under the plastic guards on the mower deck.I was out of sorts with my machine because it doesn't cut clean.It leaves spitters ,grass stems standing up after mowing.When i went to the parts house to buy a new spindle,i asked what does a guy do to clean under the guards and the reply was "use a leaf blower"...Works like a champ then spray it down with water to get the dust. Good video thanks...

      Great idea John!! Especially if everything is dry. My biggest problem is when the grass is wet...then I just use the garden hose.....but, I like your idea....maybe just better to let things dry out and then use the blower. I'm trying it!! Thanks!!

    This is a great video, I lubricated my spindles and wheels yesterday following your steps. The grease gun was a tool I have never used before and I had a hard time releasing the grease gun hose from the zerk fitting, but I finally figured out it due to pressure and was able to resolve the issue. I was looking through the owners manual for other maintenance items and there were a couple things that it doesn't go into detail about like checking the muffler/spark arrester, transaxle cooling fan, and engine cooling. Can you do videos on these other maintenance items?

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  6 лет назад +2

      Hi Cliff, thanks so much for watching and commenting. I have a video about loading grease into a grease gun that may come in handy down the road.... ruclips.net/video/G9VHehhSuCU/видео.html That's a task that can end up messy. :)
      As far as the other items go....the muffler is basically an inspection item. You're looking for excessive rust, especially perforations, etc that may indicate replacement is necessary. Regarding the transaxle cooling....basically you want to make sure there is no debris, clippings, etc accumulated on top of the transaxle that would hinder proper cooling. Same basic idea with engine cooling as well....just make sure grime, sludge, clippings etc are not accumulated on or around the engine preventing it from getting maximum air flow. I'll do my best to make a video showing these procedures next time I go thru my tractor. Thanks Cliff!

    I have the same model - love all you videos - very helpful - I am not a handyman but I took the deck off and back no hitch. I use a electric leaf blower after each use to blow out that area you talked about (PULLEY GUARDS) seems to work great. I had to take bolt off my deck when I removed it - couldn't get that clip off. Keep up the great videos Dave from Wisconsin

Sounds like it would work much better than using a garden hose. Thanks very much for watching!

      I also use the leaf blower (80mph) to clean out the inside of my vehicles. Takes 10 minutes, blows everything out from under the seats, between the consol, places it is hard to get the vacuum into. Blows all the dust off the dash and seats. Open all the doors and have at it.

    Great video. I agree w another commenter -- I avoid water around numerous regions (deck/under the hood) but for years I've used my Stihl gas leafblower to (gently directed) clean out the deck and, from just a bit further way, any dirt/debris around the general tractor/under the hood after use, especially if mulching/leaves/fall time. Those wells really do attract a lot of debris and I've seen a neighbor's deck rust out between water and wet debris. Thanks! Subscribed.

    I read on some forums a guy put spacers/washers on the pulley guards to lift em up and allow them to be blown clean easier with air or hose.
    Also read a guy who said he worked at a dealer and the service guys stopped greasing the steering gear because it collected grit and worn down over time compared to when dry. Maybe he was wrong, just wondering if the grease even really makes it easier to turn the wheel or not.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  3 года назад +1

      Using spacers under the guards is a great idea! I notice a difference when I grease the steering sector....the debate about grease holding dirt and causing wear is definitely valid since it is an exposed gear. It has such large teeth and is easy to periodically clean, I still opt to grease it. Thanks for watching!

If not too complicated, will you make a video? and video on process of hosing the engine? I was told not to use water but it is so dusty that taking a brush and dusting isnt really doing anything.

    Really GREAT videos and super helpful.
    I have a question on the mower deck. YTA 24V48 model. I do not believe my deck goes all the way down to the ground like yours does; My deck only goes to the 2.5" setting. I will check after writing this comment, but do you show how to set the correct deck height? I saw your video segment where you adjusted left to right skew. I seem to remember somewhere using a 2x4, on edge to set the 2.5 inch height.
    Thanks for your help and love your videos.

I've just recently noticed that the tractor loses some power when cutting uphill, flat or downhill is normal. I've replaced the drive belt but that has not helped..

    Hi Dennis great videos. We have the same tractor but you have zerk fittings on your wheels, and I don’t. Odd? I do have a valve for adding air to the tire. I ask because I’ve followed all your other steps and still have the squeaking around the right front tire.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  2 года назад +1

      Thanks for watching! Check the inboard side of the wheels, sometimes they'll put the wheels on backwards and the zerks won't be visible from the outboard side. If not, you can remove the wheels, grease the axles and the hubs by hand to take care of that squeaking.

    Yes, the LEDs provided slightly more even light, with no filament shadows, but as you say that was only slightly better. As long as you watch out for spider webs, mowing at night is the best. I think it might be easier on the grass too, since dew will be on it after the mowing.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  5 лет назад +1

      That's a good point about the grass. Husqvarna wires the headlight bulbs to the charging circuit which is why the bulbs go dim at low engine rpm and brighter at higher rpm. Eventhough I normally run my engine at full throttle (which is best for most small engines), I'm thinking of a LED light bar, wired to the battery, thru the ignition switch (so I don't accidentally leave it on and kill my battery). That way I should get bright light no matter the engine speed.

    It already has a shattered mandrel bottom, which I have now somehow managed to remove and order a replacement mandrel thru Amazon. Seems to a common problem from what I've seen on Amazon. I don't suppose the part is still covered in my guarantee.
    The dealer (30 miles away) will no doubt say "Hmmm.. You must have hit a rock, sir! The guarantee does not cover this".

    Dennis, I look at so much You Tube on how to repair or adjust, I saw yours and had one heck of a time locating it again, maybe because I'm 77. The question I have is under the battery holder, or below the battery holder on the left side is a rubber cap, I took it off, and below that is what looks like a fitting, but I have glaucoma and I can't figure what it is or what the rubber cap is covering. I thought it might be a grease fitting for the Trans or the rear axle. Can you post something about this.
    I was also losing power going up a hill, and eventually it wouldn't back up or go forward. I got out my power washer, and as you mentioned about dirt getting under the spindles, and removing the battery housing, I did all that this time, I got out so much debris, I could fill a small reservoir.
    The wife loves driving tractor, so I set her on the seat with some Velcro, so she wouldn't fall off and she had no problems with the tractor. I think the grass clipping get caked on to the spindles causing the belts to slip. Thank you for your video.
