“Calls for two pumps of grease - imma give it three.” My thoughts exactly. A true man of culture.

[@wilburtubbs3425]

great job of explaining every thing about this mover

Thanks for using a camera stand! Your's is one video I can watch without getting nauseous.

Thank you for posting this! I'm sure that this info would apply to most all of the 300 Z Trak series .... Last fall I purchased a 345R model, and it your 335 appears to be pretty much the same machine. So far I'm well satisfied with the JD 300 ZTrak ... I'm really amazed at the quality of cut these mowers provide. I'm getting ready to remove the deck and give it a good cleaning plus install mulching blades. Hopefully it won't interfere with the finish achieved with the standard blades .... If so, I'll dress up the originals and go back to them. Btw, if anyone is considering purchasing a zero-turn and reads this, as we all know, there are tons of zeroes out there to choose from. As already stated, I bought a 345R model last fall, and so far I'm very well satisfied with it. I've honestly never owned a mower that gives a better finish than the John Deere! Having always owned John Deeres (200/300 models), this one mows ax great as any I've ever used. Thank you again for posting! Blessings to all!

[@ScottBurnette]

Thanks for the great comment. Hope the mower lasts a long time.

I used to have a Craftsman 46 inch tractor but I love my 335 John Deere 42 inch. Anyway thank you so much for your help 👍

[@roysanchez5841]

If you don't have the socket,the pin for the deck height adjustment is a nut driver as well.

[@ScottBurnette]

I never noticed that, Thanks for the info!

I have the Z345M which looks identical to your Z335E and from what I've read the spindle bearings are sealed and pumping grease into the zerks does nothing for the bearings. The fix is to take the bearings out and remove one side of the plastic seal replacing them with the open side of the bearing facing towards the middle of the spindle then you can pump grease into the bearings. That's just what I've been reading but cannot verify because I haven't torn mine down yet to see.

[@SNEWMANIA]

Thanks for this one too!

[@guylipsky3599]

Mine is the #3 summer coming I just changed everything at 45.6 hrs oil & filter plugs air filter gas filter , there aren’t many places to lube as per your video, I also purchased a second set of blades and swap them out at 25 hours than I sharpen the others

[@richardlove4287]

There is a socket to take your floor plate off on the end of your height adjustment set pin.

Another point to having a mower with few problems is never let it rain on your mower if you can avoid it ..some people will leave uncovered not a good idea 🤪

[@pyroman49wedd86]

I got a z530r and all the grease fittings are on top of he pullys

[@harrigro]

Thanks brother. Was looking for them on the 355e also. Think it's 3 on Mine cause it has 3 spindles

[@homuraakemi9556]

I had an issue where the front wheels were rusted to the axle bolt of the caster on my z255 (very similar model). What kind of lube would you recommend putting between the axle and bearing to prevent this?

[@stevenwilliams2696]

How do you replace the transmission belt?

[@ScottBurnette]

I haven’t had to replace it. I’ll look into that.

[@wadekester2545]

The metal arm that attaches to the middle of the deck on the fin needs lube also.

[@ScottBurnette]

I will check that this morning. Thanks!

[@wadekester2545]

@@ScottBurnette just a spray lube.

[@ScottBurnette]

@@wadekester2545 thanks, I’ll spray it tomorrow.

[@prestonfrey2592]

Do your videos pertain to the John Deere z 530 m?

[@ScottBurnette]

No, just the mower I own z335E. I bet they are similar. Also there are a lot of good resources on KZbin.

[@DavidHernandez-ue4fz]

@@ScottBurnette do you know why my z355e 48 inch can't cut less than 2" high?(broken 2 belts when I trying tu cut at 1 3/4) only used 4 times still like new,any ideas about this issue?

[@ScottBurnette]

@@DavidHernandez-ue4fz I would say that the belt is out of alignment at 1.75", I would see if there were any adjustments to move it up. I'll look online and see if there are any adjustments.

[@DavidHernandez-ue4fz]

@@ScottBurnette thank you, I'll appreciate your help.!

[@jacobjames27]

How often do you need to grease the mower?

[@ScottBurnette]

I give it a couple of shots twice a year. Runs pretty smooth.

[@revans24]

every 50 hrs.

[@jacobjames27]

Thanks for andwer

[@SarahandLoganBenedict]

Your note said there’s grease fittings on the inside of the wheels. I can’t find them. The front wheels?

[@ScottBurnette]

My front wheels have them.

[@ScottBurnette]

I have seen and been told that some of the Z335E machines do not have them.

[@Villainous7]

Mine does not have them either

[@Villainous7]

My z335e does not have those fittings on the front wheels.. I'd be interested to see a picture of where they are.

[@DougTreff]

Video / Photography tip: having a bright light behind your subject doesn't work very well. Next time, if you are going to have the garage door open for natural lighting, turn the equipment so that the brightest lighting is behind your camera, shining directly on the subject. maybe off on a slight angle so you don't cast a shadow on the machine. But try to turn it a bit so the bright light is not shining directly into the camera lens. This will give better lighting on the video subject and prevent the washout problem you are having on the right side of the frame,

[@ScottBurnette]

Thanks!
