If the grease has no where to go why does it need greasing so often? Can you pysically see the grease leaking out?
@Elitesouth10011 ай бұрын
It doesn’t leak out. It’s more of a deterioration of grease. After a while the grease will no longer become effective as new grease. People take them apart sometimes to wipe away the old grease.

Great video ! Thanks ! I went to change the oil on mine and wow it's hard to get that hose down there without kicking it. That whole black piece on mine was loose , so I just spun it the other way facing the back and tightened it up. Putting the hose that way was easier. Anyone see why that would be a problem?

What size is the drain hose
@Elitesouth100 Жыл бұрын
1/2 inch inside diameter or 3/4 outside

It's a pre filter. Don't oil them if there is a paper filter under it. An old sock cut to size will do a great job as well. Fuel filter size is irrelevant if you are servicing to schedule. My mower has 1800 hrs. Look after it, and it will serve you well.
@Elitesouth100 Жыл бұрын
I put about 200 hours on it and it started having serious problems. This a residential zero turn it would never last over 1,000 hours. However, my exmark radius should have way more than 1,000 hours on it.

Just remove the plug, drill and tap it, insert a grease nipple and pump a small amount of lithium grease occasionally. Stihl are cashing in on mechanical naivety. Never had a problem, ever.
@andycapp8843 Жыл бұрын
This is Stihl profiteering at it’s very best. Take out the plugs, drill and tap, insert a grease nipple and occasionally a small amount of correct specification grease in there. Non of that fussing about with tubes. It is a mechanical object, it requires grease, one squirt and get back to work. Been using garden tools for over 50 years, maintenance is important, make it easy.

You mentioned that you were looking to get 300hrs out of the Zeroturn? And then what…? Are you saying that you think it might not last more than 300hrs or are you saying that you will just service it again at 300hrs?
@Elitesouth1002 жыл бұрын
The mower is rated for like 300 hours before major repairs. It is a Kawasaki but it is not a commercial engine. The engine on it is a residential engine so it doesn't have the durability of a commercial engine.
@davidhallman40112 жыл бұрын
The FR series is indeed a commercial grade engine. Shares many of the same components and parts as does the FS and FX series minus the heavy duty air filtration. It is built for the residential and light duty commercial use. With proper maintenance, it should last a few thousand hours. Keeping the valve lash set properly every 3-400 hours and the cooling areas clean of major debris along with quality oil changes/products should net you good, long life. I'm breaking in my first FR series now myself.

It’s a sponge around the air filter. . I put a bit of oil on my hands and rub it into that sponge so it catches the fine dust.

I quite using the Stihl trimmer line the same week that I first bought it. EVERY time I touched the fence with the line it broke off inside the hub. Thus I was spending HOURS opening and re-opening the hub to reset the line. After that first day I went out and bought the tri-blade and have never looked back though I have to replace the tri-blade every other year because it wears down on the concrete walls.

You put the string on wrong. I have been using it for 25 years. Once it was old line I had to soak in water to fix and the other I strung it wrong
