Duuu-de ,, there's 3 screws to each hydro gear cover ! . Not the two you said ! .
It depends on the year of your mower. The older models had 3. I’m not sure when they changed but my 2020 model only has 2.
How often is this service recommended? Will probably be buying the zt elite next spring, or maybe at end of season. Great vid man!
Thanks brother, Bad Boy recommends every 250 hours or once a year. I don’t put nearly that many hours on it per season so I change mine every other year. But according to the owners manual it does recommend every 250 hours or every year.
Came here to find what weight oil it calls for bc I can’t find it anywhere on the mower. Now after watching the entire video I full believe you are correct on 10w30 lol. If my mower blows up I hope you offer a warranty if I follow your instructions! Good video man most people skip a lot of steps and believe it or not more people don’t know all these things you provided in the video! 👍
Thank you!!
Best to raise the unit higher on the opposite side that you are draining to get a more complete drain. Save $$$ by using non Bad Boy labeled products. Hydro fluid for example, it's 20w-50w motor oil, use synthetic.
With the rear tires off you can’t raise the opposite side higher. Without the tire on the low side, it would be too unstable.
@@tonyjones1290 leave the opposite tire on, on the ground. You won't have to drop it much, just enough to get a good angle to drain. Been doing it on my Bad Boy for many years or put a floor jack on the opposite side with the spindle in the cup of the jack.
My BB Maverick is 2019. Took it to shop first two years for annual service. Haven't had it there since 2021 and.my steering arms are obviously needing service. I'm not understanding of the mechanism at all, looked and fluid level is just a tad low, I suspected it was worse as loose as the left arm is, and right arm seems stiffer than normal. Definitely needs a fluid change, but am I correct reading you saying the 20w50 is actually motor oil? I like this video, but unsure where that nut is you put the socket wrench on. I'm in house now, so will head to garage and see if I can find it. Appreciate both of your inputs. Ron
Yes, recommended oil is 20-50. I use synthetic With no issues.
@@ChiefRRossIt is motor oil. 20W-50 is what is recommended. I use Bad Boy brand because my local Tractor Supply has it. Any good synthetic brand will work. The vent plug is near the top of the hydrostatic gear box. The drive belt on my ZT Elite runs just below it.
The sharpie mark on the filter is genius. Thank you!
I appreciate the comment.
I just bought a John Deere Z530M so I don't know how different it is. Good job on yours.
Z530m unfortunately doesn't have drain plugs on the tuff torq TZT7-U. It can be drained, but you would have to remove the trans and flip it over. The z530r and z545r have the TZT7-M which has drain plugs. Very stupid decision on John Deere to not have drain plugs on a $6000 mower.
great video. I grew up thinking you needed to put a little oil in the filter as well. Well one day I was at a pretty large small engine repair shop and three of their mechanics assured me that all you need to do is oil the gasket. They actually showed me a cutout of an engine and showed me that when you pour the oil in the top and let it sit for just a short time, just enough oil trickles down through the engine and into the filter. Of course the real circulation happens when you start it. They said, just don't start it for about an hour if you really want to be sure. That's what I was told..dunno how true. I may still put a small bit in mine lol. Appreciate the video!
Kohler recommends to fill the filter to the bottom of the threads, wait two minutes and install the filter. Search "Kohler oil change" and the factory instructional video for the 7000 Series will come up.
Great video Tony. Do you happen to have a video changing out spark plugs, fuel and air filters?
Thank you. I do need to change my spark plugs, air filter, and fuel filter. I’ll make another video in a week or so when I change that out. I’ll link it to this video.
Thank you for your video! Very helpful!
If it touches the F mark, its is just where it's supposed to be not below it.
According to Kohler the engine can be safely operated if the oil level is anywhere between the “F” full mark and the “L” Low mark. It is just as hard on the engine if the oil is overfilled as it is if not enough oil. You can certainly fill it all the way to the “F” mark, I like to keep it just below to ensure it is not overfilled. Either way the engine can be safely operated.
Pretty cool same on my Cub Cadet ZT1 ✔️💯👍🏽
Thanks alot. Definitely the best oil change video for this mower. Very helpful
