Thank you for the video . Pro tip from my dad years ago . Always put a little oil on your filter seal so when you lock it down . It won't kink the rubber seal . I've never had a problem doing it that way
Awesome, to the point. Great pointer on creating the pan for filter removal, will definitely learn from your mistake and make it work. Appreciate the time and effort in filming and editing! The Lawn Ranger 🐎 saves the day!
If you don't have an oil funnel (like me) an empty half liter water bottle with the bottom cut out makes a good field expedient. Just make sure to thoroughly dry the inside first to prevent adding water with your oil. And DON'T use an empty soda bottle; it's impossible to get all the sugar out and that's probably worse than a little water in the oil.
Have the same mower, there is a company called "Drainzit" they make a replacement hose for that mower. Much better!! You do have to break that plastic rig off of the motor to get it off first though. But I can tell you, the Drainzit hose is well worth it. 👍
@@TheLawnRangerNJ Hey great video. Thank you for the info. I just got the 54 Raptor X. When I got home I noticed the wheels didn’t have lugs. It only had 1 center bolt to the shaft. That being said, have you had any issues with the wheels being loose vs the lugs? I almost want to get XD for the lugs. TIA
Then moved to another state & grass never stuck under the deck. Now am living in another state, have electric mower & live on a postage stamp lot. Takes me 40 minutes if I hustle. Sitting & cutting is the way to go! Will you sharpen your own blades & do you have an extra set?
I run Simplicity ZTRs and my Kawasaki let go at 1200 hrs so I borrowed a buddys XD like yours. Those are the worst tires ever. Wont hold hills. Constantly spinning. I aired them up. I aired them down. I don’t get it. Rides like a log wagon as Ive only owned Simplicity and they have the shocks all around. I will say it mows decent and really liked the speed of reverse for mulching leaves. Also I doubt you drained all the oil. You shouldn’t have had that much loss taking the filter off. Im waiting for it to finish draining now. I didn’t have the drain hose so used a piece of garden hose. Sad they cant deliver them with a hose attached. Also my dealer says to run 20w-50 with Zinc on the Kaws Also always use a funnel on new quarts. I’ve tried to be cool as well and it doesn’t work
Get a clear tube to replace the black one. You can then see when oil starts draining so you know when to stop loosening the drain plug.
Great video. Quick and to the point. Before this video I clicked one where the guy ran his mouth for 30 plus minutes. You’re easy on the eyes too.

Turn the oil bottle 180 degrees. With the hole on the top it will pour out the oil properly. This is how they are designed to work. 4:20

Where did you order filters from?
Camera work made me dizzy.
