This is a fantastic video, very well done! It’s so nice to see a father and son working on things! This video is going to help alot of folks!

I listen to your stuff on Facebook and started watching this video and was like I know that voice. Crazy how it works out!

First time going to service my ZT71 and found this video. Excellent video, very well done step by step and easy to follow. Thanks for making it.

Great video. Very helpful in getting my first round of maintenance completed.

suuuuuuper helpful. thank you!

you need to raise that bar above the engine. It should have two screws and makes changing the air filter a lot easier.

For anyone having trouble getting the drain plug loose on your first oil change, here's what I did. I used some vice grips (locking pliers) to hold the hose and an impact driver to remove the drain plug. Came off like a champ.

Great video I just picked up mine yesterday. I was just curious couldn't figure out where the dipstick was. Thank you for sharing the video!

Lube the rubber gasket with some motor oil on the new oil filter before installing. Hand tight on the oil filter is sufficient, wrench tight isn't necessary.

That was so helpful! Thank You

Great content!!

It’s pretty similar for most other zero turns also but you can never be too sure to watch a video for your specific model!

When taking oil filter off I cut about 1 1/4” off the bottom of a milk or water jug to catch most of the oil. I have the Kawasaki engine though so you might get away with a little more or have to go a little shorter but it helps with oil cleanup

Thank you Sir this was so awesome. Do you know if you need to grease anything as well? Thank you in advance

Thanks! Job well done.

Great video. What about lubing the tires or lubing the bands? Maybe can you do a video on it?

what would be awesome is if u added the recommended time frames like hours driven/miles rode before doing each service

I put some used newspaper underneath the oil filter before loosening it. It absorbs the oil. Less messy.

Old school was you smear a little oil on the oil filter gasket ring to allow it slip as you tighten the filter. I don't get the pouring oil inside part.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Also do you know of ANY grease fittings on the mower? I have been trying to locate grease fittings and can not find any but it seems like there should be a few? Thanks in advance..

After how long is it necessary to change the spark plugs, oil filter, and fuel filters? I’m coming into my third season with mine now.

GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!

Quick question: I don't have to grease this machine anywhere? I can't find anything that tells me to do that so I guess it isn't required? Helpful video. Thanks.

Great video Now could you show one of you changing the carburetor?

You are awesome! Thanks!

Probably best to use a torque wrench to tighten, and use the manufacture’s spec with some anti seize but hey whatever works

thanks for sharing how to do basic maintenance. i just picked up my cub cadet 54" zero turn. we had a tractor 50" mower & have changed the belts many times for the deck. do you have a video changing the belts for the deck or transmission?

What about adding hydraulic fluid?

I like the video until I saw the RAIDERS shirt…… Haha great video thanks for putting this out

It appears you prefilled the oil filter but did not lubricate the filter gasket before installing, it’s a thick gasket so, I don’t see it folding, causing leak, also always check plug Gap before installing. The 7000 series on my old man’s Ultima ran rather rough until I did it first service and set Gaps equally.029…

Do you not grease your fittings ?

Thanks. We'll. I'm a Paraphlegic and I think I could even so everything but changing the blades.

replacing battery is a bear! metric bolts, nuts, positioning bracket tricky to restall also.

Seems like an OK video. I say that because, servicing also includes lubing the grease fittings. Right? I was watching so I would have a clue about where all of them are located. No such luck here, Something else I have always done from my car mechanic days 5o years ago. When installing a new oil filter, I always put a little oil on my finger and lube the rubber seal on the new filter. Or you could pour the oil into it over that seal. They have been known to have issues when dry. Especially on these horizontal mounted filters. It's not so bad with the vertical because you can fill the filter with oil and not have to worry about spilling any so the seal gets lubed. One thing never ceases to amaze me about these companies. Why is there no way to catch the oil from the filter on a $3k mower? A hole in the frame? or something. Instead we have a cleaning issue.

What are the two bolts in the front for

I was surprised TSC didn’t have any of the filters for it and only one hi lift blade in store That’s kinda crazy if they won’t sale them 😊

Does anybody know where are the grease fitting are at on the ZT1 Cub Cadet?

No grease fittings ?

Has anyone tried the high lift blades TSC has for them ???

Where are the grease points?

Great video. My manual says lube all lube points, but does not tell you where they are. Anyone know?

How can I clean carburetor?

My control arms starts whinging after a while. I need to know what to do with that. Hydraulics I'm guessing. No Guage for it.

Just going to ignore the grease points?

Is it normal for there to be black smoke on startup when the choke is applied? Runs like a champ with no smoke when once I take it out of choke position.

Nice video. Thank you! But what about greasing the wheels, spindles, etc. ? Don't you have to do it? If yes, where are the grease fittings on the ZT1?

You didn’t reset your change oil light will flash

What about ghries

What part number are those S blades?

My ZT1 54P is make a loud noise when the blades are engaged. Does anyone know what the problem is?

#trenttribe 💯

Please remove the deck,take off the old blades , clean your deck , install new blades using a torque wrench. It’s ver y important to use a torque wrench so your blades won’t come off while mowing.

Holy cow! You didn't put anti seize lubricant on the spark plug screws. Or dielectric grease on the boot end of the plugs! Wow! I would NEVER change spark plugs with those steps!

Why do people think they need to put oil in the filter before putting it back on!😂😂😂

Where the hell are the lube points on this mower? Manual is garbage. Says "Lube at points"... then doesn't list the points.

mine wont start when i try and start there is no clicking and the screen says low oil pressure, and oil is full. any suggestions or have you ever seen this? any help would be appreciated... thanks
