My 2011 ExMark has the same ZT-3100 pumps, and even if I removed the wheels, I still couldn't get to that stupidly-placed vent plug! Chemically, hydraulic fluid is the same. And now you never have to pay the dealer if you don't want!
Thanks for video. Good reference. Manual does a great job at explaining and you do a great job at demonstrating. I did mine today. Very easy. Cant imagine it even easier on other mowers. Hydros on stander B 36 are very closed to each other so vent plugs are a pita to get off.
This video deserves more recognition. Appreciate the time you took to make this helpful video. Definitely had to use a screwdriver to get those filters off! They were TIGHT with no room to get a good grip on them. Thanks again!!
There are transaxle vent plugs. Look at each hydro and you will see plug in the middle of hydro. Large 18mm bolt. Leave it open while filling from reservoir tanks. It will fill up a lot faster. Once you see oil coning out of vent. Close plugs. Tighten. Fill up until cold fill line. Open bypass valve and while back wheels are lifted. Turn on mower and move wheels forward and backwards until normal operation. Close bypass valves. Fill reservoir tanks up to cold line. Done

So there is no drain plug only the oil filters to drain the oil?
Not on the hydros, only on the engine

Just the video I was needing
Where are the the purge valves
I don't think there are any on the B. Just leave the reservoir open while you purge it. When the wheels move normal speed it's good to go.

@@JuanGomez-jl4yzyou said move wheels forward and back until normal operation. What do you mean until normal operation?
@@SleepyJoe408i think he means until the hydros are producing normal power again. 4-5 times of a few seconds forward and back should be good
@@stevegalea518 gotcha
My dealer told me that I can use any brand full sintetic oil 15,5
Manual says that also.
That Toro/Exmark Hydro oil is good stuff!
