Excellent video! My husband did all maintenance and mechanics and he passed away and I am left to the task now, and your video shows me step by step. Thank you soooo much!!

Time to remove my deck. After hunting for my Manual, trying to read the tiny print on the newsprint paper stock. I thought of KZfaq. You were the first vid to pop up. You did an excellent job explaining what looked to be very complicated job in the manual, several pages of that small print. lol Very well presented.

Very well put together video. Making it easy on us so thank you. Shocked this doesn’t have more views yet. 👍

Thank -you for your video. You really helped me a lot (and saved me some money). Our grass has grown more than I can remember (I've cut our 2 acres 15 times already and we are only half way through August.) Much appreciated!

Excellent video. Everyone should learn from this. Real time is always better than speeded up fast videos. Again Great job.

I have completely avoided taking my deck off because I figured it'd be way more difficult than my old Craftsman 46" tractor. This actually seems to be way easier! Great video, well explained steps, and very detailed. Thank you for posting this.

I also wanted to say, thanks for showing how you got the belt back on everything. That made so much sense.

Exceptionally well assembled How To video. Points out some aspects others do not show, like the Multi-Tool's use. I rever replace the two covers as they are grass traps and if you cut a BIG lawn (2 acres) they can be pully damagers. Thanks,

Great video. Thanks for making and posting it. I ran into some "side quests" that you didn't. Some spindle bolts had vibrated themselves loose and when I went to borrow one from another spindle, it broke off. Nonetheless, very good video and very helpful.

Awesome how-to video, thanks for doing it. I just got my Ultima ZT1 42 in. delivered today. I won't need to worry about the deck removal and blade sharpening for a little while, but I'm way more confident now.

Great instructional video. Watching your video is much better than following the instructions in the user manual.

W0W .... AWESOME ... JUST GOT THIS MACHINE and DON'T KNOW JACK ABOUT MAINTENANCE FOR IT... ONE BELT GOT BURNED, I RAN OVER MY DOG LEACH AND IT DID IT... HOPEFULLY FOLLOWING THESE DIRECTIONS I WIL BE ABLE TO FIX IT ! IMAGINE THAT AND I THOUGHT I HAD TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE TO GET IT FIX... ONE PROBLEM DON'T EVEN HAVE A TRUCK OR TRAILER TO TAKE IT AND NO ONE AROUND MANY MILES TO SERVICE... SEEMS LIKE A LIFE SAVER, WILL LET YOU KNOW OF THE OUTCOME !!!! ONE THOUSAND THANKS JIM ~~~~~!!!!

I watched this three hours after pulling deck off Very well explained Thank You for sharing information 😊

Just picked one of these up to work on nearly 4 acres. Thanks for breaking the subject down into easy steps. After all my work I'm sure it's gonna be a mess under there!

Enjoyed your video, concise and to the point showing what I needed to change blades and belt.

Concise and informative. Great job!

Thanks Chief, great video. The manual is rather ambiguous but this takes you step-by step. Great job 👍👍

Sir, you are to the point, non-sugar coated. GREAT video, VERY informative, going downstairs and gonna apply on my ZT1 50! Have a great day DIY JIM, Sir.

Great video! Clear video with great verbal instruction. It helped me a ton. The only difference is that I have a ZT1 and the torque for the blades are 70-90. Again, thank you.

I just found your page and these lessons are the most in depth and easy to understand I have ever seen. Great job!

Best video on Cub Cadet Z Ultmas zero turns!

Very helpful and excellent video THANKS

This is the best video on how to do this I have seen.... good job man

Great video! 2 things I learned... 1. inserting the multi-tool into the lift mechanism for safety 2. turning the front wheels around to give you more room for sliding the deck in and out Can't believe I never thought about doing that! 😂

Great job. Liked the detail and the varied camera angles.

Great video that helped me out a lot. I had to change my belt along the way

Nice job explaining the deck removal process

Thanks, excellent no BS video with the facts and correct operation of each action in order.

Outstanding, direct to the point with everything explained perfectly!

Thanks for this video. I purchased a zero turn with a steering wheel. I need to get the deck off to clean it. This was great! I hope I'm strong enough to get mine off! I have an air gun for the blades. Don't worry, I won't strip them off! I've done that before. I hand tighten them. Only use the air gun to loosen the bolts to take them off. Not bad for a 73 year old wimpy woman? It might take me two days to do it all, but that's okay! Thanks a bunch!

Thanks appreciate your clarity.😊

On my old Raleigh, which was way harder to align than this, I found lifting the deck and sitting it on a piece of 4" by 1" timber on each side made it way easier to align the pins. My ZTS1 46" arrives tomorrow so hopefully it will be a while before I need to sharpen blades, but thanks for the how-to video

You make it look simple. Thank you.

Learned a lot! Thank you!!!

I just bought one of these. And I can't believe they have not perfected how to remove the lower deck after 20 years.

that was the best video ever. i have watched many and your filming is the best. now if you could show me how to put a drive belt back on! i went over a big bump and the spring popped off, and i cannot figure out how to access those pulleys. so much in the way. thank you for this video. i'm sure i need to sharpen blades next.

Nice job! Right to work on the project. I didn't have to hear about your dog (toto) or any other BS.... Really good job easy to understand and good detail on every step. I don't understand why you don't have like at least 100K views. Thank You and again really good job!

Thank you. Saved me some headache!

Great video, very helpful. Thank you.

Great video. Well put together and cover the details well and your commentary as you walk through the job kept me paying attention! Thank you!

Thanks great video just got my new Cub today and only crashed it once learning to steer it. No harm done thankfully.

Well done my man, I just bought a ZT1 42". Looking forward to more of your videos on the ZT1 42".

Excellent video. All the links in the description are also helpful. Thanks. Great job!

Very informative. Thanks!

Very informative! Helped me with installing new blades. Great sound and video that really aided in the instructions.

Thank you for your awesome video. I followed your video step-by-step and it worked out great!

Use a presure washer saves Lot of time good information thanks.

Great video. If you are considering topics for future videos, get the Cub Cadet checklist for riding mower Maintenance schedule and go through each of the items on the checklist. I suspect you could make a short video for each of the checklist items and one longer one that is a compilation of all the checklist items.

Awesome ! Thank you for taking the time and putting this video together 👍 God Bless

very cool...I'm very close to buying a ZTS 50 (I'm in a steep/hill area)...and will need to learn this stuff. I see you have other videos. Hopefully this zt "S" mower isn't too much more complicated

Thanks for the instructions gave me the confidence to do the job. Great job including specs. Thank You

6:16 great video

Your voice sounds like you live near Pittsburgh. I use a rope to pull the idle pully back and then remove the belt from the PTO. Also use an air impact wrench to remove and reinstall the nuts on the blades. Never clean under the deck and never torque the bolts. We have a fabricated deck, it will take years to rust through. Thinking about building a low crawler to be able to slide the deck in and out from the mower. I do grease the zerks though every time I sharpen blades

Very Well Done!!!!

Very well explained. Gracias señor.

Thank u for sharon!

Thank you very detail😊

I have a ZTS1 42” Fabricated deck. Thank you for this video. After reading the directions in the manual I was thoroughly confused. Your video made it so much easier. Thank you!!!!

Very well-presented. Easy enough. Thx!

Great video! Thanks!

Good job Mate.

Thank you!

Awesome video thanks a ton.

Do this after each cut. When my final day arrives I’ll have spent 12 years of life doing this. Time well spent..

Very well done!

What about blade orientation in relation to each other?

Excellent video!! But why are you yelling at us at 13:35 ?? LOL, joking of course. Thanks for the clear, concise instruction with this well put together video! Subscribed!

Excellent video 😊

REALLY GOOD video

Thanks Jim

Awesome video, very easy to understand!

You make it look simple….and….you apparently have some experience with it….thanks

Great video Jim! You covered things that I never had a question on! Thanks!

To balance with a screw, put a piece of something round that will fit inside the hub (washer, pipe, etc) over the screw.

AWESOME…. Thank you for your help.. 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

Very helpful. Thank you!

You da man,Thanks!!!

Great Video!

Nice job....very much appreciated.

Great training video. Question pls: what do you depend on to prevent accidental startups before putting your fingers on the belts of your mower? Ty

thanks for that wonderful video. Good Job!!

Thanks bro.

Could you do a video about changing the transmission drive belt? or at least the anatomy of the undercarriage? Thank you

Thanks!

Awesome video, thank you for sharing.

Watch out! He's ready to pull his deck out. 🤣

Love the video

Thanks

very good bro

My mower got stuck and died at the back of my 2.5 acre property in the edge of the wood line. It sucked! Dont know how I did it but wedged between two trees and I couldn't get it back to my garage. After, I watched this video, I removed the deck, it fit snuggly between the trees and I got it out! Big thanks!

Thanks for the VERY helpful Video... What part of Jersey are you from?

Great instruction! Thanks!

Excellent video, how do I determine the type of deck that I have?

Couldn’t you just pull pins and slide belt off the back pulley instead of taking cover off?

Muchas gracias, Maestro.

Exelente broo

nicely done video.

This may be a dumb question, but does it matter how the blades align with each other (not referring to grass side)

Thank You for the Video. But Don't You Need to Set The Blade Timing? For The Best Cutting.

Great video. How do rate the cut quality of this mower? Vibration issues? Overall impression? Thx!
