    This is a fabulous video... Thank you so much! I have the ZT1 50 zero turn, so planning on referring back to this. I've been changing blades by raising the deck and going underneath... not efficient, and I really need to clean the buildup off after 2 full seasons.

    I've got 3 full seasons on our ZT2-54 and have had the deck off many times. But we just moved and the Cub manual is somewhere in all our stuff so came here and found this. Very well done video. Especially like reaching through from behind on the port side to pull the idler pulley and remove the belt. Thank you, sir.

    How about put a couple of 2x4s under the deck, so minimum amount of paint get scratched off the bottom edge of the deck (from getting rusted and better protect the floor), also this mover is new so the deck hangers will stay up, but i bet No One messes with the deck until the mower has been used for several hours with all the hinges/hangers are less than perfect fit - LOL (depends on the quality etc.)...

      You don’t have to remove the deck to remove and sharpen the blades. I just lift the front end and rest it elevated on 2 jack stands.

      After coming off a mower from the late 90s, you guys have it easy and yet you're still whining about how hard it is lmao they sure don't make them like they used to. I mean the people, the mower is granted, they're so soft!

    • @frootloops1655
      @frootloops1655 2 роки тому

      @@usmcocs09 Thx for that tip. Though I like to remove the deck every year and totally clean, rustproof and undercoat it. But on subsequent sharpenings-only, I'll prolly use your tip. Thx again.

    Thanks for the video. I was unable to remove the belt by pushing on the pulley. But wait, there is an easier way!! Go to the right side of the mower and get a large channel-lock plier. Remove the spring. Re-assembly is also easy.

    Great walkthrough, thanks. I think I saw a way to simplify even further. It looks like you could push the idler pulley back from the top side through the floorpan hole and slide the belt off at that point. If so, that would save you from having to remove that spindle guard. I'll try that when I need to sharpen blades.

  • @kevincronin60181
    @kevincronin60181 2 роки тому

    I have the newer model ZT1 54" with the "S" Blades (490 110 C194) which are very expensive. I would like to swap out the 3 "S" spindles (618P09236) for the Star Spindle which offers a better selection of Blades at a much lower price. Like the Oregon 3 gator blade. They don't make any for the "S" blades. Any one know of a switch over spindle that will work?

    Thanks very much for the video. I WANT to like this mower, but I still don't. I bought it a few months ago, and need to sharpen my blades. Pulling this deck isn't "hard", but I've certainly had mowers that were much easier. Just another reason I'll probably sell this one off.
