    I have a T 110 and changed the oil for the first time yesterday.
    I wasn't paying attention and after putting the plug back in, some of the orange thread was showing. Didn't twice with the same result so I went with it.
    I sprayed the frame with brake cleaner after I put the plug back in a d filled it up, and wiped the oil spillage with several shop paper towels.

    This was sooo helpful especially unplugging the wire so you can get off the mower with it still running and you don't have to push the button for reverse. I just mowed with it for the 3rd time and I really like it. I do wish it had a more comfortable seat. Tough with a bad back. Thanks so much!

    nice, consider a petcock before the fuel filter, those fuel filters are really basic, I'd swap that out for a better one, nice machine, I have a 2011LTS1500, just picked it up and its never been used as a mower.

    Luckily I'm 225lbs in the seat so haven't gotten it stuck yet 🤣. The gas tank lasts me 1 and 1/4 cuts mowing at full throttle at the 2nd slowest setting for a good cut on my 3/4 acre. I love it. My neighbor with a 3,000 Husqvarna mower asked me what it was because it looked and cut soo good 🤣. I didn't tell him it was 1,300 with free delivery and a small dump trailer after my military discount 🤣.

  • @f62darkstar
    @f62darkstar 3 роки тому +4

    When you change the oil, if you turn the wheels all the way to the left (I think) or it might be right.....it gives you a little more room to get that drain funnel thingy under the drain plug....that steering rod raises up a little when turned all the way to one side....I just dont remember what side.

  • @mrbubetube
    @mrbubetube 3 роки тому +2

    personally I like the fact that it doesn't have an oil filter. fuck the oil filter, you don't need it. just change the oil regularly before it turns black and you don't have to worry about a filter. Do you still have this mower? how do you like it at this point? did anything break on it? have you tried towing anything yet? does it mow hills?

    Great Job on the video! Please post a video or pictures of how the deck belt is routed. My owners manual and diagram on the deck show two idler pullies, but the deck only has one. My belt broke and I replaced it the way I think it needs to be routed, but it's not correct. Cannot find a T100 in stock at any store right now to view the correct positioning.
