...and may not have a floor!

How much does a x580 w/85 hours cost?

Still slight interference with the adjustment bolt , but should clear the arms 100%! Glad it helped!

Glad this helps!

P.S. How's the power and traction when using implements and attachments? I haven't bought any weights yet, and not sure if I will need any.

Great power, traction will depend. If plowing or box blading you might spin some tire. If using the cultivator you likely wouldn’t need anything. If snow plowing it’s hard to say, but not a bad idea to have weights regardless.

Thank you! Glad it helped you!

Thanks! Glad I could help!

There is a manual that came with our X570 (applies to the X590 also), the dealer gave it to us when we bought it 5 years ago. Go back and get it!

That seems odd, I know mine wouldn’t pull straight out, it would pull more on the hook side, and then bind, so I’d have to take my other hand and push the sling side from the back… maybe it was just put on too far from factory?

I’m having the same exact issue

Good idea, didn't think of that...might do that now (after taking the front draft arm off first).

Have you tried that TK, or just suggesting it? It loos to me like the main issue is the tight clearances of the deck between the wheels. Raising the machine wouldn't change that. I have to do this on the ground, not on cement, alas.

It does work, you won’t be able to slide it straight out, but you can angle it some and pull it out. Definitely recommend if you have a jack.

Unfortunately I cannot. I don’t have that machine anymore.

I need more details. What model is the tractor? And when you say primary drive do you mean the belt that goes from the engine to the deck? Or the engine to the transaxle?

The cheapest, most compact, and highest capacity route would be a bottle jack from Harbor Freight, but any floor jack would work.

Is your deck still mounted? I disconnected the deck first. Now, getting it back on was a different story lol

Yes it has been pointed out numerous times to use a jack. I’m showing how to do it without as not everyone owns a jack. But yes, using a jack works very well. No I do not have a video of the snow blower. I was going to get one, but am looking at an X758 and plow blade instead.

You could, someone else mentioned that too… but I guess not everyone may have a floor jack (I do, and I would imagine if you have equipment like this you probably have one)… sorry about my volume, I try to talk louder, but I guess I expect too much from my phone!

@@JoshsGreenGarage Hey,thanks for reply...and great videos...no worries on the volume,my GF tells me i need a hearing aid all the time..lol

My 1987 JD 318 has more front to back clearance for deck placement.

You can use it with the deck on.

@@JoshsGreenGarage thank you! Also thank you for all your videos. I find them very helpful

Well I can tell you the top handle when pushed forward should eventually lower the 3pt hitch if the SCV shutoff valve is open. if closed I believe it will curl the loader, but I could be mistaken, it may lift and lower the loader, depends how its hooked up (keep in mind there is no third function on these; you either get hitch and loader, or just hitch). Check the shutoff valve behind your SCV, that will need opened. That is likely why you have little to no movement of the hitch. also check to make sure the hitch depth stop is loosened all the way. You can watch my videos of tractor prep on an X700 series for the front plow. It shows the lockout. I don't think I have anything highlighting the depth stop other than the hitch install video. As for the code, I'm sorry, not sure about that one. Haven't messed with that on my X7 yet, and I've never had an X5X5. You will have to KZfaq or Google that one.

I don’t think I do for the 580… you can watch the one for the x700 series though, same design for both

Sadly no, and I won’t be able to make one… it isn’t complicated though, you are halfway there just by removing the deck… take note of the routing of the belt, and which way the taper goes, and just put the new one on the same way. There should also be a routing sticker on the deck, and in the owners manual.

No, this deck has a tensioner pulley, does it automatically!

@JoshsGreenGarage hey man thanks that's what the service guy said

The X7XX series honestly, soooo easy! But it comes at a cost. Honestly the X3/X5 series isn’t bad. Not sure about the higher end 100s and 200s, nor other brands. I think most value tractors are going to have the cable…

Stay away from the 100 and 200s

Used the deck lift/lower lever, it just releases hydraulic pressure so the deck lowers

yes you can, it will just raise and lower the hitch with the deck.

So you don’t have to disconnect the arm that connects to the deck hydraulics? I asked the manufacturer and they said I would have to but I wasn’t confident with the way he answered me.

Nope. So the arm is in 2 parts. If you watch this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJiBe9Wil7uVoWQ.html you will see what I mean about the 2 parts. When the hitch is attached, both arms are on, connecting it to the deck lift. The deck lift rockshaft is a solid connection to the deck lift arms, as well as the hitch lift arm (to an extent, the hitch lift arm slides). No matter which attachment (mid or rear) you are using, both are going to actuate. The mower deck doesn't care what the rear is doing, and the rear doesn't care about the deck. If you take off the hitch, you remove the back part of the arm (just a wing nut), and pin what remains to the frame. The section that is "permanently" attached to the tractor won't move, the rockshaft will just slide in the arm's groove. So technically if you remove the hitch, you would want to remove 1/2 the arm, but the hitch can stay on all the time if you choose, and you can still use the deck. Does this answer everything? Sometimes what makes sense in my head doesn't make sense when I type it lol.

Yep, then I guess the rep at Brinley wasn’t real sure about this, thanks!
