Changing Oil,spark plugs,air filter, and fuel filter on Cub Cadet zt1 Kohler 24hp

[@TheMesharp1]

Good tutorial. My JD lawn tractor x500 (I think) mower busted over the weekend had over 1000 hours. I like the Cub looks good seems to run good. I like the Kawasaki engines. What’s the difference in the Kohler engine? Price point at TS was around 3,6k I think for ZT1. Thoughts?

[@BigEsfarm]

I honestly don’t know the difference in the motor I did go with the fabricated deck just cause it’s thicker so far I love it mine was 3,600 4000 something out the door but so far a well built mower

[@BigEsfarm]

Also thank you for watching I appreciate it

[@Hammertime97]

Did you notice the new air filter seems a little bigger? After just changing mine my cover doesn’t sit down all the way. Thought it was weird considering it’s OEM

[@BigEsfarm]

Idk but you notice I had trouble I didn’t notice that though

[@BigEsfarm]

But it about had to be bigger like yours

[@111noneya]

I have the same issue with my ZT1.

[@BigEsfarm]

@@111noneya must be a manufacture defect

[@danielpadgett2831]

I noticed that on mine too

[@jamespannell7797]

Is there any videos that shows 50 hour service of hydros ? I have zt2 50” I see it has drain plugs but like see full video of it

[@BigEsfarm]

I don’t have one I haven’t made it to 50 hours yet

[@BigEsfarm]

May be one in the future but I would say you need it now

[@jamespannell7797]

Im @ 30 1/2 just trying get prepared lol

[@jamespannell7797]

Bought mine last june

[@BigEsfarm]

@@jamespannell7797 right I understand I’m only about 13 now lol

[@nathinparsons856]

You make it look easy but it's not had to pump it out you can't get the plug loose

[@BigEsfarm]

The oil?

[@TheBeatenPaths]

I changed my oil after 15 minutes. Ten hours is definitely too long.

[@BigEsfarm]

That’s what they recommended on their warranty so if it messed up in that amount of time that’s on them. But I agree it’s took a while almost a year to get to the amount of hours

[@TheBeatenPaths]

@@BigEsfarm There a channel on here about mowers & snowblowers. He took a brand new mower, run it for 10 minutes then changed the oil. Was FULL of metal particles. I did the same with a new push mower and ride on. I can personally vouch for the importance of doing the same.

[@danielpadgett2831]

You changed your oil after 15 mins 🤦😄 manual states change break in oil after 5 HOURS of operation

[@BigEsfarm]

I’m sorry just seen this I was going by what the employ where I bought it mentioned.

[@BigEsfarm]

I filed at that lol
