I love my Gravely Pro-Turn 148. The only thing about it that I don't care for is the oil change process.
Pro tip, get a used 1/2 ton chain hoist and find a garage joist or a strong tree branch to lift up the mower instead of wheel ramps and janky hi-lift jacking.
thanks i need do all maintenance and change my belt and blade to my Gravely ZT50 thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!
Great video, I have the same mower! This was extremely helpful!!
Thanks for the video..I have a similar Gravely and will be doing this myself soon.
Good luck! Hope you spill less oil than I did!
Do I have to secure the blades to prevent them from moving or unhook battery when changing them
Thanks for watching! Be sure to subscribe for future farm fun with this link bit.ly/2YWNN7T
just the video I needed, thanks!
Glad I could help you out!
I am brand new to owning a zero turn. Its a Gravely too. I have seen guys jack up the front end some during the oil change. Wouldnt that help drain faster and perhaps help get all of it out?
FYI......Cardinal sin of zero turns with "maintenance free spindles", never use water you are washing what little grease you have in your spindles away with the pressure washer!!! Use a blower and broom nearing 300 hours on my factory spindles. never been greased other than the factory grease.
MY DECK SPINDLES sound and feel like new on my ZTXL -42 / 324 hrs and counting....
I CAN REMOVE THE DECK FASTER THAN JACKING IT UP IT IS A PIECE OF CAKE NOT EVEN 2 MINUTES TO REMOVE IT
Truth
I would recommend you get the foam prefilter for your airfilter to better protect your aue intake.
I'm "supposed" to have a new ZT-HD delivered this week. Dealer's been having issues with Gravely sending him the correct accessories. I'd really like to use the Canister Air Filter for it but the ROPS might prevent it from fitting. The vendor, (Powerequipmentman) sent some pics that should help me decide.
I bet this is a popular selling mower for Gravely.
I bought a new ZT HD 60 on 03-22-2024, model number 991272, and it did not come with the oil drain hose. Only a cheap plastic oil drain piece. Pisses me off. I ordered the Gravely hose, j-clamp, and bolt and will install all of it at my initial oil change at 10 hours.
Great video. Have you considered buying a Jungle Jim’s lift jack to lift up the front? I have one and love it
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to add that to my wish list!
Why don't you use a pre filter on the air filter? First thing I bought before leaving dealer
I probably should get one. Never thought about it. Thanks!
Do you have the model number of the pre-filter you're referring to? Thanks
Where did you place the jack stands?
I see im not the only one who struggled with the oil filter , i had to get my mad on to take it off by hand. I think they make a socket type that would be alot easier that way you could hit it head on....
The factories "herc" every oil filter on, no matter who builds it. Hand tight has worked for me for 55 years of changing oil.
What is the attachment on the back? I've seen other videos with this. I visited my local dealer this morning for a zt hd 60.
It’s the bagging system
What is that on the top back of the mower!
It’s part of the bagging system.
What size are the blade nuts?
I was expecting to hear the ammount of oil it takes when filling the oil.... Seems relavent. Maybe it's just me.
I had the same question and pulled up the openers manual as a PDF. Need to find that info before its first oil change.
When changing both the oil and filter on a Kawasaki it takes 2.1 quarts with a new filter.
I would not power wash my machine I use my leaf blower to blow off all debris after mowing. Water will destroy it from rust and electrical problems..
Something is wrong, you should have more oil draining than that!!!
How much did you pay for your ZT?..............4-5 K dollars?............please put a new air filter on your investment along with a pre filter, Honestly, how much is an air filter? compared to the cost of a engine rebuild prematurely
What is a pre-filter? Tied in with the air filter ?
@@evanhuff8254 its a foam boot that fits over your regular filter for added air filtration that keeps the air cleaner going into the engine.
@herman5eight what's the part number?
What do you have attached to the back?
It’s the bagging system
@@Curtis1824 I went to the main page and saw your vid about it right after I posted....LOL
No worries! Thanks for watching!
😆Dude, what kind of homemade jack is that⁉ I got a CRAFTSMAN where you cradle the front end & crank it up to 45deg. I can changeout the blades &/or scrape it down.
I made it to help pull out stumps before I got the tractor. Worked great! Just haven’t taken it apart yet.
Great video however I cant trust anyone that wears rubber gloves to change oil lol... Cheers
Ha, I know, I wouldn't either. Only worn to keep the camera clean!
Not a word about how much oil to put in initially. Not much help!
Death trap
Audio to low
No offense. Idk if id let you shovel my driveway.
