    Good video. I might add two things. When greasing the steering kingpins I always raise the front of the machine and let the wheels and axle hang free so that the grease gets into the contact areas. There also is likely a fitting in the middle of the front axle to lubricate the pivot. If you jack up the machine by the frame it will unload this area allowing the grease to get into the contact areas. By doing this maintenance the tractor will steer like new for a long time. Thanks for posting.

    Dennis, you are very in tune with maintaining your mower. 90 percent of guys are very poor with the maint. required to keep their equipt. running. One tip I will share is NOT to wash your mower with water especially on top of your deck. Water is very fluid and will seep into your deck spindle bearings. Bearings are sealed to keep out dust dirt etc. but not water contrary to belief, a small amount will rust and wash the grease out. I use an air compressor to blow all the build up after every cutting. Engine,deck, and transmission. I only wash maybe once a year but follow with air to dry out. Just my 2 cents.

Thank you for doing every maintenance step for this mower...right down to the ones I didn't think were out there...Today I did a oil change, 2 spark plugs...(22 B & S), fuel and air filter, new belt and new blades and greased...and it only cost parts....where a shop would tripple it...

      Hey my first Husky ride-on also! I used to sneer at these folks using a big ride-on to cut their small lawns.
      For the past 40 years I've been using push mowers (a HusqHonda and a 30 year-old Briggs$Stratton- STILL STARTS ON FIRST PULL!)
      It's not so much that at 80 yrs old, I can't do the job anymore, but It just TAKES too long with a push mower!

  • @markdesmond9994
    @markdesmond9994 Před 5 lety +1

    Well done Dennis. Clear, to the point, and well edited. Good point about cleaning the transmission cooling fins. I will check mine the next time I have my deck out. One thing I do is use my petrol leaf blower to clean the clippings, debris etc from the mower rather than washing it with water. Less rust. Thanks.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 5 lety

      Hey Mark, thanks for watching! A couple of other folks have mentioned that too and I've started using a blower when the clippings are dry. If its wet out when I cut, I end up using the hose to clean off the deck still. But I agree with you....the blower does a much better job getting all the loose stuff out of hiding places on the deck! Thanks again!!

  • @joes6883
    @joes6883 Před 6 lety +5

    I use my STIHL Blower to get the clippings and any foreign material that might've accumulated during the Mowing. After watching you locate the grease fittings, I need to now look for mine more closer Dennis. I thought I only had 2 but now I"m not so sure. Thank you for pointing them out.

    Hey Dennis. Well, I done it. I got my YTH22V46 Husqvarna lawn tractor today from Rural King. Borrowed my bosses trailer and got it home. Needed a new one real bad like cause I Flipped my other one End over End last year. It was close but it didn't get me. I was on a steep hill and got stuck 3./4 of the way up and when I pressed the left pedal which controls the drive train, I started rolling backwards,,,then I let it out to go forward and that's when it went end over end on me. Anyway, I won't be mowing that hill anymore. Thanks again for the very important information on this lawn tractor. It will be a big help in my future maintenance plans.

I have one steep hill that I mow and I'm very careful with it....I've decided this year that I'm installing terraces with flower beds so I don't have to cut it. Your story confirms that is a good idea. Hopefully all goes well with your new mower and you like it as well as I do mine!

    Good info. I grease my mower fittings regularly, but not the steering. Will start doing that from now on. I would hesitate to wet my deck down for cleaning on a regular basis. I clean mine after every use with a high volume blower and its stays clean.

    • @dwcoffey

    Great video. I agree w another commenter -- I avoid water around numerous regions (deck/under the hood) but for years I've used my Stihl gas leafblower to (gently directed) clean out the deck and, from just a bit further way, any dirt/debris around the general tractor/under the hood after use, especially if mulching/leaves/fall time. Those wells really do attract a lot of debris and I've seen a neighbor's deck rust out between water and wet debris. Thanks! Subscribed.

    This is a great video, I lubricated my spindles and wheels yesterday following your steps. The grease gun was a tool I have never used before and I had a hard time releasing the grease gun hose from the zerk fitting, but I finally figured out it due to pressure and was able to resolve the issue. I was looking through the owners manual for other maintenance items and there were a couple things that it doesn't go into detail about like checking the muffler/spark arrester, transaxle cooling fan, and engine cooling. Can you do videos on these other maintenance items?

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 6 lety +2

      Hi Cliff, thanks so much for watching and commenting. I have a video about loading grease into a grease gun that may come in handy down the road.... czcams.com/video/G9VHehhSuCU/video.html That's a task that can end up messy. :)
      As far as the other items go....the muffler is basically an inspection item. You're looking for excessive rust, especially perforations, etc that may indicate replacement is necessary. Regarding the transaxle cooling....basically you want to make sure there is no debris, clippings, etc accumulated on top of the transaxle that would hinder proper cooling. Same basic idea with engine cooling as well....just make sure grime, sludge, clippings etc are not accumulated on or around the engine preventing it from getting maximum air flow. I'll do my best to make a video showing these procedures next time I go thru my tractor. Thanks Cliff!

    So about cleaning under the plastic guards on the mower deck.I was out of sorts with my machine because it doesn't cut clean.It leaves spitters ,grass stems standing up after mowing.When i went to the parts house to buy a new spindle,i asked what does a guy do to clean under the guards and the reply was "use a leaf blower"...Works like a champ then spray it down with water to get the dust. Good video thanks...

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 6 lety

      Great idea John!! Especially if everything is dry. My biggest problem is when the grass is wet...then I just use the garden hose.....but, I like your idea....maybe just better to let things dry out and then use the blower. I'm trying it!! Thanks!!

    I have the same model - love all you videos - very helpful - I am not a handyman but I took the deck off and back no hitch. I use a electric leaf blower after each use to blow out that area you talked about (PULLEY GUARDS) seems to work great. I had to take bolt off my deck when I removed it - couldn't get that clip off. Keep up the great videos Dave from Wisconsin

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 6 lety

      Thank you Dave, I really appreciate the nice feedback! Another viewer mentioned using a leaf blower to clean out from under those pulley guards....I just got a new leaf blower, so I'm going to have to try it! Sounds like it would work much better than using a garden hose. Thanks very much for watching!

      I also use the leaf blower (80mph) to clean out the inside of my vehicles. Takes 10 minutes, blows everything out from under the seats, between the consol, places it is hard to get the vacuum into. Blows all the dust off the dash and seats. Open all the doors and have at it.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 6 lety

      That's a great idea!! I use a leaf blower to dry the chrome on my motorcycle when I wash it, but I never thought about using it to clean out the car/truck. I'm trying that!

    I use high pressure compressed air to COMPLETELY clean off the deck and spindles and all other areas of my tractor each time I am finished using it. Yes, the running out of gas at end of season is great to stop carb gunk and I always use STABIL in my gas. Mine is a TS348XD.

    Good to see you wipe the zerk fittings off before greasing. Most people (the auto shop) don't do this and you'll see galling on a shaft right at the grease point (if you ever disassemble it.) Good video by the way and thank you. I have a high quality shopvac that I use with the hose hooked up backwards (in reverse) to blow off debris. If you use a crevice tool on the end of the hose, you can get as much as 25 pounds of pressure for cleaning. That way you don't have to use a hose to flush the machine off.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 5 lety

      I agree about the zerks...also, not wiping them forces all that grit into the very thing you're trying to lubricate. Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing the tip about the shop vac. Great idea!

    Great job, Dennis! I love the informative videos. I have the exact same mower that you have, and been able to maintain from watching your videos. I do have a question pertaining to greasing the spindles. You mentioned if you don't have grease zerks on the top of the spindle, having to take the mower deck off and greasing them. Can I lift the front-end of the mower, and get access to the spindles from underneath the mower? Again, excellent videos, sir!

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 4 lety +2

      Hey Adam, thank you for watching and thanks for supporting my channel! If your spindles don't have zerk fittings, I am not aware of a good way to grease them. My comment in the video about pulling the deck out was in reference to certain spindles that have zerk fittings on the sides rather than on the top. I don't think any of them have grease fittings on the bottom end. If there are no grease fittings, they should be made with sealed bearings that don't require greasing anyway.

    Nice job. Looking for my first Garden Tractor and Husqvarna seems like a good choice. Glad you mentioned about running the gas out of your engine. The biggest problem with lawn and marine motors today is the Ethanol in the fuel. Do the wheels on most Garden Tractors have bushings? And do they have a long life with proper lubrication? Thanks again!

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 5 lety

      Thanks for watching Tom. I think most lawn tractors use bushings on the front wheels. And I also believe that with a proper maintenance schedule (greasing the hubs), those bushing will last years.

    great video! would you recommend letting the engine cool down before spraying it?

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 5 lety +4

      It may not be necessary, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to let it cool down before spraying cold water on the engine.

  • @boottothebums
    @boottothebums Před 5 lety +1

    Yes, the LEDs provided slightly more even light, with no filament shadows, but as you say that was only slightly better. As long as you watch out for spider webs, mowing at night is the best. I think it might be easier on the grass too, since dew will be on it after the mowing.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 5 lety +1

      That's a good point about the grass. Husqvarna wires the headlight bulbs to the charging circuit which is why the bulbs go dim at low engine rpm and brighter at higher rpm. Eventhough I normally run my engine at full throttle (which is best for most small engines), I'm thinking of a LED light bar, wired to the battery, thru the ignition switch (so I don't accidentally leave it on and kill my battery). That way I should get bright light no matter the engine speed.

  • @Emerald13

    Thank you for the video! My mower is squeaking (more like squealing) after about 10 minutes of using it... Somewhere up front, below... loud while turning and going in reverse. I've lubed as many moving parts as I could see, will try the grease fittings next.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 4 lety +1

    Hi is changing the spindle a hard process? I think I need to replace them. I ran over rope and it bent it. Now the mower takes chunks off my lawn. If not too complicated, will you make a video? and video on process of hosing the engine? I was told not to use water but it is so dusty that taking a brush and dusting isnt really doing anything. I really appreciate your videos. Very well made, informative and keeps my attention through the whole video. Ive learned a great deal (which makes my life a little easier. Again thank you.

    Dennis, Great video for us newbies! I cannot find a grease adapter to fit the zirk on the wheels? Any advice? Should I change the zirks?

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 6 lety

      Hi Michelle, Zerk fittings come in different sizes, some are SAE and some are metric, so it is possible that you have an odd size on your wheels. The easiest solution maybe to replace the existing zerks with the same size as your others. You may have to pull one of the ones that work ok too, so you can match up to the new ones. Also, be aware that the thread sizes could be different, especially if one zerk is metric and the other SAE. I hope that helps!
