Rear discharge finish mower is best! You have a great tool. When I work on underneath (like changing blades) I disconnect top link and lift rear up with chain hoist or cherry picker and just stand up and access the entire bottom of mower.

It doesn’t take much water to milk up the oil, but I was surprised at how clean the gears were. That’s gonna make you a nice mower!

Would have been so bummed if they were rusty! Always wanted one of these mowers!

You're gonna love a finish mower. Faster,safer, and do a better job.

It does a great job....but keeping mower blades sharp is hard work.

Always appreciate your videos, Brad. Looking for a quality used brush hog myself, and this info is very helpful. Not sure how much of a crossover audience you may have with Matt's Off Road, but I chuckled at the music you chose for the mowing scene. Same as his channel uses for many of them.

I have never seen blades so ruined! He has a great mower. Hope he enjoys it. I had several finish mowers and only replaced 2 blades when I hit a water shutoff and the blades looked ok but were bent and unbalanced.

I’ve replaced at least 6 of those spindles on my finish mower. Where did you find them for $89?

@PineyGroveHomestead 29 күн бұрын

I didn't replace the spindles, I replaced the casters. I got them from the John Deere dealer. Another video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aN9-q65hvbCVhp8.html

I would have just siphoned off the bad oil with a vacumn bulb. Still wonder how they got that much water in there. Kids or vandals? Maybe careless handling of oil.
